After covering the New York Knicks for 23 seasons as the New York Post’s beat reporter, Marc Berman finally watched the franchise reach the mountaintop.
Berman joins Dexter Henry on New York Got Game to reflect on the Knicks winning their first NBA championship in 53 years and what it was like to experience the moment a little more than three years after leaving the beat.
Did Berman enjoy watching the championship simply as a fan or did part of him wish he were still courtside writing the biggest story of his career? He reveals what the opening line of his championship column might have been and revisits more than two decades of memorable and occasionally bizarre Knicks experiences.
Plus, this week’s edition of Dex’s Clipboard breaks down Jalen Brunson’s remarkable championship run after he revealed he played through a wrist injury during the playoffs. Using film study, Dexter examines how Brunson’s pace, footwork, body control and elite decision-making allowed him to dominate on the biggest stage and earn NBA Finals MVP despite not being at full strength.
