We’ll talk later this week about Trump’s Iranian deal, which looks like he got taken. And I never want to talk about the tacky and tasteless UFC fighting match on the White House South Lawn last night. It is a good day to talk about the incredible New York Knicks championship run. They brought the Big Apple its first NBA title in fifty three years in classic fashion.
Even our British producer, no fan of American sports got hooked on this team. After the final game, I emailed Bill Bradley, one of the Knicks greats in the championship teams in the nineteen seventies. I said I was blown away by Jalen Brunson, the MVP. Bradley replied yes to Brunson while noting it was the whole team, unselfish, disciplined, and resilient, like all champions. It was a team for the ages and it also was a wonderful escape from the Washington I work in.
Thank you, New York Knicks.
