We are a basketball city again. That’s the best sporting news as we bridge the final few days between 2024 and 2025. Basketball has always been an integral part of the very essence of New York’s sporting soul. We are all, after all, sons and daughters of the gymnasium, of the playground, of the driveway.
We are Kareem and Tiny, we are Cousy and Connie Hawkins. Michael Jordan and Carmelo Anthony were born here, and there’s a reason why both make a point of mentioning that while also embracing their extended home bases of North Carolina and Baltimore. We are Lapchick and Looie, we are Red Holzman and Nat Holman, we are Tom Thibodeau and Rick Pitino, Keith Urgo and Sandy Brondello, we are Brunson and KAT, we are Cam Johnson and Cam Thomas, we are Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones.
We are the home of The City Game.
And we are back.
