On June 14, Beijing time, as the NBA Finals concluded tonight, the trade war surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo has entered its final week countdown. The Celtics' disappointing first-round playoff exit against the 76ers this season has fueled frustration, and in recent weeks, rumors linking the team to the Bucks' superstar have been rampant. With the draft approaching, trade speculation is intensifying, and the entire league has its eyes on Boston.

On June 14, Beijing time, the 2025-26 NBA season concluded with the Knicks defeating the Spurs 4-1 in the Finals to claim the championship. ESPN promptly released its offseason power rankings (pre-draft and pre-trade) for the 30 teams. In this early ranking, the newly crowned champion Knicks placed third, the Thunder ranked first, and the Spurs second. The Lakers came in at ninth, while the Rockets were tenth.

Congratulations to the New York Knicks for winning the NBA championship for the 25-26 season. Many claim the 4-1 series score doesn't reflect the true strength of the two teams. But I believe by this point in the series, a 4-1 result genuinely reflects their real abilities. Across five games, the Spurs held double-digit leads in the first quarter every time, only to see the Knicks catch up and surpass them each time, with Game 3 being the only exception where the Spurs ultimately secured a win.

Although he has played in the NBA for many years, it was only this season that the Philippines' top basketball star earned his first championship ring.

Goodbye to the 2025-26 NBA season, as the campaign officially concludes today. First, congratulations to the Knicks for defeating the Spurs 4-1 in the Finals to win this year’s championship, ending the franchise’s 53-year title drought. Jalen Brunson was named Finals MVP, making him the first player in NBA history to win the NBA Cup MVP, Eastern Conference Finals MVP, and Finals MVP. Now, let’s talk about LeBron James.

On June 14, Beijing time, the Knicks defeated the Spurs 4-1 in the series to win the championship. A disappointed Victor Wembanyama, who reached the NBA Finals for the first time in his career but fell short, spoke to the media after the game. Reporter: The intense series has come to an end. Could you share your feelings watching the opponents lift the trophy and celebrate on your home court? Will this become motivation for you and the team going forward?

On June 14, Beijing time, in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Knicks defeated the Spurs 94-90, winning the 2025-26 championship with a 4-1 series score. ESPN immediately broke down the Knicks' road to the title. Here is the full story—

In Game 5 on the road, the Knicks once again came from behind to beat the Spurs 94-90, ultimately winning the championship series 4-1 to end a 53-year wait. Jalen Brunson played like a demigod, exploding for 45 points on 27 shots, and was rightfully crowned the new "King of New York." Throughout the entire Finals, Brunson averaged 32.6 points per game, a historic high for an NBA point guard, and naturally swept every vote to earn the highly coveted FMVP award.

This is the Knicks' first NBA title since 1973.

No, that’s not right at all. Wembanyama clearly planted his foot under Brunson, yet the referee didn’t call a foul, sparking huge controversy... Under normal officiating, Wembanyama could have been given a flagrant one. He currently has three flagrant foul points; one more would result in an automatic suspension.
