Somebody getting their first ring, who is it and who benefits the most?

[chuckifubuck]

If the knicks win every single player on that roster will become a legend

 

[broller]

Shai- has the MVP and would top what might be one of the greatest non MJ seasons ever by a guard. However, OKC is the team most likely built to last, so this feels like a window that will stay open for him compared to everyone else.

Ant- would have credibility with everyone who wants to crown him and this might be the only chance he gets to do this. Also he could only be the only #1 since the lottery to win his first title without needing another #1 pick alongside him.

Brunson- would become undisputed KONY with a title and would be NY's first title in the 4 major sports since 2011 (Liberty, Gotham and NYCFC have rings. Otherwise the city has gone through a wild drought). He probably has the most to gain because NYC will never let people forget about Brunson til the end of time. Only negative would be that the East sucks so much that Brunson make it back by default.

Haliburton winning would be huge for Indiana and would be a "suck my dikk" to everyone. The teams who passed on him, the Kings for trading him, his peers who don't fukk with him. The only downside is that Haliburton is the one whose title would be celebrated the least going forward. This doesn't make him face of the league or whatever or put him in the HOF or make him the best PG. It can solidify him as the top heel of basketball, basically Reggie with a ring. If he leans into that, then he'll keep Indy on the map.

Very interesting stat

Wrong thread

Ant wins it and gets fmvp at age 23 bro is going to be a certified legend. I think only magic did it that young

Kawhi was 22 and Duncan had just made 23

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

We are building the Knicks roster a damn statue if they pull this off

 

[GunRanger]

Nothing is comparable to the knicks winning a title. Nothing

 

[Fresh]

I'm not even being biased, but Brunson

the story would be bigger than Ant or SGA because it's in NY and the Knicks haven't won a title in forever

Brunson would be a living legend in NY, and would be further catapulted into a superstar
He11 the rest of the Knicks would be forever treated like gods in NY

if SGA won he would get the respect but that's it, Ant doesn't even wanna be the face of the league, and it will be looked at as a fluke for Tyrese and nothing more and will be forgotten by next season

the obvious answer is Brunson

 

[Kinguno]

Yall fooling yourself if you think anything would be bigger than Brunson bringing a title to the Knicks. I can’t believe this is a question.

SGA winning a title just cements this as a great run. Brunson winning a title would turn that dude into a legend for all of eternity. There would be documentaries made in his honor. Nobody gives a shyt about OKC, you would hear about this Knicks title run until the day you die. OKC winning is a basketball story, the Knicks winning is a national story.

I have no earthly idea what Willis Reed looks like or the position he played. But what I do know is that nikka won titles with the Knicks!

The only player who could become more legendary is whoever the QB is the next time the Cowboys win it all.

lol You mean when Jesus comes back because that’s the only way the cowboys winning

Jesus at QB

Brunson would never have to pay for a drink or meal in NY if he wins a title and don't let him win a FMVP...lawd.

We putting all energy into the support of Ant

He will be my vessel for future wars

Ima Boys fan and even I gotta laugh at that.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Wait, what?

Duncan/Robinson

LeBron/Kyrie


I forgot to add the caveat of #1 picks drafted by their original team, not overall.

I want Haliburton to win, it would be incredible to finally see the pacers win a championship. Indy loves its star players, and he is the first star we have had since Reggie that it feels like genuinely loves the city back. We got behind the PG teams, but with Bron in Miami we never really had a chance and we always knew it, plus we could always tell that PG didn’t really want to be here.

in terms of the face of the league conversation that has been taking place the last two years or so, if Ant were to finish the post season run with a title, it would position him perfectly to be the next “guy”. He has the game and personality for it, its hard not to root for him.
