In the NBA, the All-NBA teams are official, and two names were absolutely unanimous — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic both earned first-team selections without a single dissenting vote. Victor Wembanyama came within one vote of joining them, which tells you everything about the kind of season the young Spur put together.
Speaking of the Spurs, they are very much alive in the Western Conference Finals, and apparently they've got some divine support. A group of Salesian Sisters — nuns who have been attending games and rallying behind San Antonio — have become a genuine phenomenon during this playoff run. The Spurs are embracing it, and honestly, in a series against the Thunder, they'll take all the help they can get.
And we have to talk about the Knicks, who are one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since nineteen ninety-nine. Jalen Brunson has carried New York to the doorstep of something this franchise hasn't touched in over two decades. Cleveland is searching for answers, and right now, they don't have many. New York fans haven't felt stakes like this in a generation.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
