This Knicks Run Feels Unlike Anything New York Has Seen
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Tue May 26 2026
Description: Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down just how dominant the Knicks have looked, asking whether this run compares to the most overwhelming championship pushes in New York sports history. The conversation goes from the late nineties Yankees to the 1986 Giants as they try to find a local parallel for a playoff ride that has been almost completely drama free. They also debate the biggest threats waiting in the NBA Finals, whether the Thunder’s experience makes them scarier than the Spurs, and how Mike Brown has taken the Knicks to a level Tom Thibodeau may not have reached. Evan also explains why his Nets fandom fuels his Knicks hatred, leading to a bigger conversation about New York basketball jealousy, fan bases, and why this moment feels so surreal.
