Chuck βyou not gon need emβ πππ§‘πβπ½βπ½
My dad and i have always had a very strong bond over the Knicks. He was a season ticket holder growing up in queens, and raised me as a Knicks fan in Texas. I almost lost him to a heart attack two years ago, in an incident that the doctors described as βliterally a miracleβ that he survived (& he fully recovered and is now healthier than he had been before). Ever since then, Iβve cherished every additional day I get with him, and KAT speaking about his mother made me very emotional over my gratitude that my dad is still here for us to experience this Knicks run together. Weβre going to game 2 tomorrow night. Canβt wait. Letβs go Knicks ππ§‘

Glad to see Shaq showing love to KAT

THIS is the level of analysis we've been wanting from you guys Inside the NBA. Less player hating, more deep diving what you're seeing out there π
Kat is so composed and well-spoken. Very impressed with this young man and his ability to channel his grief into calm when most would be shook.
The Knicks demonstrated teamwork . Lots of passing and everyone contributed.
FINALLY INSIDE THE NBA IS AT THE FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great game from both team
