Summary
Carmelo Anthony celebrated New York’s championship on Instagram, reposting the Knicks’ title graphic and writing, “DID IT FOR THE BOROUGHS!!! SALUTE CHAMPS!”
The tribute followed the Knicks’ clinching win over San Antonio in five games on Saturday, ending the franchise’s 53-year NBA title drought.
Jalen Brunson drove the closeout in Game 5 with 45 points on 12-for-25 shooting and took Finals MVP after leading New York throughout the series.
Anthony starred for his hometown Knicks from 2011 to 2017 but never won a title there, reaching the playoffs only three times before retiring in 2023 after 19 NBA seasons.
