Summary
82-year-old Bill Bradley watched the Knicks' Game 1 NBA Finals win over San Antonio from a private Manhattan gathering, urging on Jalen Brunson as New York reclaimed the lead late.
The 2-time Knicks champion said he will attend Game 3 at Madison Square Garden on Monday, when the series shifts to New York beneath his retired No. 24 jersey.
Bradley helped deliver the franchise's last titles in 1970 and 1973, giving his support added weight as the Knicks play their first Finals game in a generation.
The appearance underscores how this Finals run has become a reunion moment for the franchise, with Bradley also planning to dine with former teammates Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe.
