In a twist, Paul said if the Knicks hadn’t won the title, “there would be no board. He’d be going to the Knicks.” It’s unlikely James will sign with them, but Paul said the only thing that would need to happen is for Jalen Brunson to call. “He would have to pick up the phone and say it’s no issue with me with you joining,” Paul said.

Me, with a drawbridge stuck in the up position behind me.

Lots of people on foot and with bikes climbing over a pair of concrete dividers to walk the wrong way against traffic across the working side of the bridge
A whole mess of people and bikes and cars waiting on a bridge. One section of the drawbridge is still fully up even though everything else is down.

And there was you. And there was everyone around you. That’s what this Knicks run has been, this week, this month, this year, this decade, this 53-year-stretch: Something that everyone shared, for better and mostly worse. The Knicks are the one universal team in New York City, the team that both Yankees fans and Mets fans love, the team they love as much on the Upper East Side as much as they do on Staten Island as much as they do in Bushwick as much as they do in Jackson Heights. Maybe you’ve lived and died with every Knicks win or loss for 53 years; maybe you just started watching this week. It doesn’t matter. Because this is the sort of thing that happened to all of us, at once, and we shared it. We hugged our friends, we hugged our neighbors, we hugged strangers, we hugged anyone we could find, we hugged anyone we could get our arms around. This has been an explosion of joy the likes of which any New Yorker, past, present or future, will never, ever forget.

Order of the Day, June 6, 1944 SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations1 have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking. Dwight D. Eisenhower
