July 19 Marc Berman Reflects On The Knicks’ First Championship in 53 Years | NY Got Game
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.

July 12 Did The Knicks Championship Destroy “Knicks for Clicks” Media Narratives? | NY Got Game
The New York Knicks are NBA champions, however, has winning the franchise’s first title in 53 years finally changed the way the team is covered?
Dexter Henry is joined by Knicks Film School contributor Jeff Johnson, who coined the term “Knicks For Clicks Industrial Complex” to describe the media ecosystem that uses the Knicks’ enormous fan base to generate engagement through controversy, negativity and endless hypothetical storylines.
Dexter and Jeff discuss whether the Knicks’ championship has officially defeated that industrial complex, the worst Knicks takes that aged terribly and where legitimate basketball criticism ends and engagement farming begins.
They also examine whether Jalen Brunson’s championship run permanently ended the “he’s not a true number one” debate, whether the Knicks can finally declare victory in the Mikal Bridges trade and why hypothetical superstar trades often received more attention than the contender Leon Rose had already constructed.
Plus, how much “plot armor” does a championship provide Knicks fans? Are fans justified in pulling receipts? And what will become the first major negative narrative of New York’s championship defense?

June 17 They Waited 53 Years For This... Meet The Knicks Fans Behind The Iconic 1973 Sign | NY Got Game
For Doug Bertinelli and Pat Hannafin, this isn't just another Knicks championship. It's the ending of a 53-year story.

In 1973, Doug and Pat stood outside City Hall celebrating the Knicks' NBA championship while proudly holding a handmade sign honoring the team. More than five decades later, they reunited with that very same sign after the Knicks defeated the Spurs to capture their first NBA title in 53 years.

Ahead of the first championship parade in Knicks history, Doug and Pat sat down with Dexter Henry to reflect on what it was like celebrating in 1973, why they kept the sign all these years, enduring decades of heartbreak, and finally witnessing another championship alongside a new generation of Knicks fans.
