Knick Knacks: Why New York won't not repeat as champs, why Reggie Miller still sucks & why it matters

The article makes a case that the New York Knicks won’t fail to repeat as champions in 2027, pushing back on what the author calls “projection” from national media. Using Patrick Ewing’s MVP-vote history across 1989 to 1997 as an example of repeat-level production, it argues that precedent points toward the Knicks’ chances. The piece disputes common arguments such as player turnover and unusual circumstances, noting that Jalen Brunson is still with the Knicks and that the team didn’t win a “Bubble” title. It also references ages of starters, the Warriors’ championship-era context, and spending patterns, concluding that the Knicks’ roster situation doesn’t match recent repeat failures.
