Summary
Bill Bradley said fans at Monday’s first NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden since 1999 came to watch the Knicks and Spurs, not Donald Trump, calling the teams’ play and values the real draw.
2-0 is the series edge New York carried into Game 3, and Bradley said a 3-0 lead would leave many expecting the Knicks to be crowned champions in Game 4, even as he stressed taking one game at a time.
Madison Square Garden’s crowd stands out, Bradley said, because it cheers subtleties like extra passes and boxing out, reflecting the discipline, unselfishness and resilience he sees in this Knicks team.
50-plus years after helping win the Knicks’ last titles, Bradley cast the Finals run as bigger than politics, saying the team’s enduring values give New Yorkers hope after long stretches of disappointment.
