The 53-year wait was over. But there was still a bit of business to attend to before Jalen Brunson could begin to celebrate.<\/p>

Read more Knicks 2026 title team pulls away as franchise\u2019s best as all-time debate opens up<\/a><\/p>\n

It was fitting. He finished the job the same way he conducted himself throughout the whole process.<\/p>\n

With class. With humility. With champion identity.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the final buzzer of the Knicks\u2019 94-90 Game 5 win over the Spurs on Saturday night at the Frost Bank Center, which secured their first championship since 1973, Brunson \u2014 as euphoria erupted around him \u2014 made his way from the bench over to Spurs coach Mitch Johnson to shake hands and exchange a few words. Brunson had not yet smiled or exhaled. Sportsmanship came first.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until Brunson\u2019s dad, Rick, grabbed him by the shoulder that the weight of the moment hit him. That he fully grasped what he and the Knicks had just done.<\/p>\n

\u201cI turned around and my dad was there, and I felt emotional from that point on,\u201d Brunson said. \u201cThen I just remember Josh [Hart] talking into my ear, and him just saying, like, \u2018We did it! We did it!\u2019 And then I was emotional for a good, like, five, 10 minutes, and then the excitement started to kick in.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when the party truly kicked off.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be long until the BAC levels rose. Until Ariel Hukporti made himself the MVP of the festivities. Until Jeremy Sochan\u2019s shirt came off and stayed off. Until coach Mike Brown was barking, \u201cWho let the dogs out?!\u201d<\/p>\n

By the time media got into the Knicks locker room, it immediately brought back memories of the mornings after frat parties in college \u2014 the wet and sticky floors, the empty bottles (Michelob Ultra beers, Mo\u00ebt & Chandon champagne and Patr\u00f3n tequila were the main choices) and wafts of cigar smoke. Everyone was scattered around the bowels of the arena \u2014 between the locker room, the court, the interview rooms and the hallways in between. <\/p>\n

The players and coaches with kids held them in their arms. The ones who didn\u2019t held their drinks. Ben Stiller held something different \u2014 Brown\u2019s whiteboard, given to him as a souvenir. Stiller grasped it tightly as if someone was going to try to steal it at any moment.<\/p>\n

This was a team that was obsessively locked in the entire postseason. They would hardly even acknowledge their series leads or the unprecedented nature of their dominance. They repeated \u201c0-0\u201d as if they were hypnotized.<\/p>\n

It was as if a burden on all of their shoulders was suddenly lifted.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople don\u2019t understand, we don\u2019t really talk about it, the weight of that jersey, the expectations, the pressure of that jersey,\u201d Hart said. \u201cAnd, today, right now, it\u2019s the lightest it\u2019s ever felt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rowdiest of the group were a few who almost never saw the court \u2014 Hukporti, Sochan, Mohamed Diawara and Pac\u00f4me Dadiet. They crashed the stars\u2019 news conferences. They tried making half-court shots with the golden championship balls everyone was given. They playfully told their teammates it was enough family time and not enough party time.<\/p>\n

When Mikal Bridges was speaking, Hukporti repeated \u201cf\u2013k them picks\u201d a few times, a shot at all those who criticized the Knicks\u2019 decision to send five first-rounders to the Nets to acquire Bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got something to say,\u201d Hukporti said. \u201cYou guys still listening? About them picks \u2014 we\u2019re not leaving \u2014 man, we got him out of Brooklyn! Look at him now, you\u2019re a champion! Look at him now. Everybody doubting your s\u2013t. Ain\u2019t take nobody from me. Hey, f\u2013k them picks! F\u2013k them picks!\u201d<\/p>\n

OG Anunoby, the hero of Game 4, walked around with sunglasses glued to his head and a stoic demeanor stuck on his face. Karl-Anthony Towns, the one who carried the Larry O\u2019Brien Trophy off of the court, called him \u201cMr. Aura.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Towns also shared a few more serious moments, reflecting on his late mother, who passed during the pandemic, and his father, who has made it a point to be there for every step of his journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cShoutout to him and to my mom, too,\u201d Towns said, \u201cbecause she had a lot of hours where they didn\u2019t see me and trusted in me, and my pops was really putting it in at work and was trusting that we were going to make something special out of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back on the court, Sochan had taken control of the Knicks\u2019 social media team\u2019s camera and was following Hart. The two bickered about Arsenal and Chelsea, like they did for countless hours in the locker room throughout the year. Eventually, Hart begged Sochan to \u201cleave me alone.\u201d<\/p>

And it all ended the way it started \u2014 with Brunson showing his and this Knicks team\u2019s character.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

When he got to the podium, he rhetorically asked, \u201cDo I be myself, or do I talk my s\u2013t?\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, he chose the former. The question came about Becky Hammon\u2019s now-infamous claim that Brunson would never be good enough to be the best player on a title team. Brunson could have used the moment as an opportunity for long-awaited gloating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t respond to them then,\u201d Brunson said, \u201cand I\u2019m damn sure not going to respond to them now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The celebrations were cathartic. But, true to this team\u2019s identity, they let their play talk loudest.<\/p>
