Veteran New York Post beat reporter Marc Berman recently reflected on covering the New York Knicks for 23 seasons, culminating in the franchise's first NBA championship in 53 years. Berman, who has since left the beat, shared his perspective on witnessing the team's ultimate success.
During an appearance on "New York Got Game," Berman discussed whether he enjoyed the championship victory as a fan or if he regretted not being courtside to cover the story. He also hinted at what the opening line of his championship column might have been and recounted memorable and unusual experiences from his two decades covering the Knicks.
The discussion also delved into Jalen Brunson's exceptional championship run, during which he revealed he played through a wrist injury. Analysis using film study examined how Brunson's playing style, including his pace, footwork, body control, and decision-making, enabled him to excel on the biggest stage and earn NBA Finals MVP honors despite not being at full strength.
