Kevin Durant dropped jaw-dropping praise for the Knicks’ wild NBA Finals comeback against the Spurs, calling it one of the most electrifying championship runs he’s ever seen as a fan. Despite doubting their chances after the Spurs dismantled the champs, the Knicks clawed back from 20-30 point deficits to steal wins — and it wasn’t until Game 7 that Durant fully believed they could pull off the miracle. He lauded their young, homegrown core as a blueprint for future success, contrasting them with the Spurs’ veteran-laden roster built through trades and big-money signings. Spurs coach admitted his team wasn’t championship-ready, while Durant noted he wouldn’t have walked away from that kind of money like Jalen Brunson did — highlighting different paths to glory. Victor Wembanyama had an MVP-caliber season, earning Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-NBA honors, as the Spurs enjoyed their best campaign in years, finishing second in the West and even beating the Knicks earlier in the year — proving they’re no pushover.
