Draymond green needs to stfu. He is no where close to any of the players on the Knicks skill wise. Getting carried to get some rings really made bro delusional. The east isn’t weak. The cavs just got swept that made em looked weak. Everyone of them went on a blood bath before that. 76ers won against the Championship Celtics. Pistons came back from1:3. Cade mf Cunningham. A player draymond green can never even dream of becoming. It’s fine to rip on the east cuz lebron now playing on a western team but enough is enough. The east was fking stacked this season. And draymomd is re arded

Typically it’s the west is the best and the east is the least…the Boston years of Russell and Bird and the Chicago years of MJ and IT was pretty much it

East has had the best teams . Giannis’s Bucks, The Celtics of course and last year if Haliburton doesn’t get hurt in game 7 the pacers win the title. I’m not a fan of either team in the finals but I would love to see the Knicks win. San Antonio winning is like….. yeah we seen this before. Seeing the Knicks win would be a breath of fresh air; especially since there best player was a 2nd round pick and a generational talent that we knew would win one day.

Without Brunson, Knicks are not in the Finals. Brunson’s brilliance isn’t just because of his bb skills and play alone. It’s his leadership and ball distribution skills. It’s his leadership orchestration skills on the court. Those skills are difficult to quantify. Jordan had them. Tom Brady had them. It’s the skill, ability, and professionalism to lift and make everyone else on your team not only better, but champions. Very few pro athletes possess those skills and qualities. It’s experience and professional maturity. All this is why Knicks will win the NBA title this year. No, I’m not saying Brunson is like Jordan or Brady. He’ll never be GOAT conversation material. To qualify for that, you have to change the game. Only Jordan and Brady did that for their respective sports. Kobe didn’t. Shaq didn’t. Magic didn’t. Chamberlain didn’t. LeBron didn’t. Curry didn’t. Verdict is still pending with alien Wemby. But Brunson’s leadership, quarterbacking skills on the court are Brady like. That more than makes up for, from a team championship standpoint, for his lack of personal basketball player size. In fact, size has nothing to do with it when it comes to being a champion, even in the NBA. Just ask Jordan, who was not the tallest or biggest in his day. The Spur’s youth will catch up to them as their downfall to the Knicks maturity in these finals. And the mature shutdown defense of the Knicks, along with Brunson superior quarterbacking orchestration with the Knick offense will be why the Knicks will win the title this year.

2001 through 2025 the breakdown is:
Western Conference: 16
Eastern Conference: 9
That’s 64% West and 36% East. West is Better is not just opinionated it’s factual.
