CANYON OF HEROES

The New York Knicks are NBA Champions, and now it's time for the celebration of a lifetime.

On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob Walters and Brett Grosso preview the upcoming ticker-tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes and discuss what this championship means for New York City, Knicks fans, and the franchise's future.

We debate where this team belongs in Knicks history, why fans shouldn't rush to rank them among the all-time great teams, and why this group may become the most beloved team the franchise has ever had.

Plus:

• Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history
• How Leon Rose transformed the franchise
• Every major roster move that paid off
• Why this championship validates the Knicks' long-term vision
• Should Spike Lee get a championship ring?
• Does Patrick Ewing deserve one?
• Who else should be honored for ending the 53-year drought?
• What comes next for the defending NBA Champions?

The drought is over. The parade is here. The celebration begins.
