After covering the New York Knicks for 23 seasons as the New York Post’s beat reporter, Marc Berman finally watched the franchise reach the mountaintop. Berman joins Dexter Henry on New York Got Game to reflect on the Knicks winning their first NBA championship in 53 years and what it was like to experience the moment a little more than three years after leaving the beat. Did Berman enjoy watching the championship simply as a fan or did part of him wish he were still courtside writing the biggest story of his career? He reveals what the opening line of his championship column might have been and revisits more than two decades of memorable and occasionally bizarre Knicks experiences. Plus, this week's edition of Dex's Clipboard breaks down Jalen Brunson's remarkable championship run after he revealed he played through a wrist injury during the playoffs.

The New York Knicks are NBA champions, however, has winning the franchise’s first title in 53 years finally changed the way the team is covered? Dexter Henry is joined by Knicks Film School contributor Jeff Johnson, who coined the term “Knicks For Clicks Industrial Complex” to describe the media ecosystem that uses the Knicks’ enormous fan base to generate engagement through controversy, negativity and endless hypothetical storylines. Dexter and Jeff discuss whether the Knicks’ championship has officially defeated that industrial complex, the worst Knicks takes that aged terribly and where legitimate basketball criticism ends and engagement farming begins. They also examine whether Jalen Brunson’s championship run permanently ended the “he’s not a true number one” debate, whether the Knicks can finally declare victory in the Mikal Bridges trade and why hypothetical superstar trades often received more attention than the contender Leon Rose had already constructed.

And what will become the first major negative narrative of New York’s championship defense? 00:00 intro 02:12 Is The Knicks For Clicks Industrial Complex Actually Dead? 04:45 What Actually Qualifies as “Knicks For Clicks”? 10:25 The Worst Knicks Takes Ever 15:51 Did The Championship Settle The Brunson Debate Forever? 21:21 Did the Knicks Win the Mikal Bridges Trade? 25:53 Why The Imaginary Knicks Got More Attention 29:42 Does Winning Change Narratives Or Move Goalposts? 34:20 How Long Does Championship Plot Armor Last? 41:25 Are Knicks Fans Becoming Part of the Machine? 47:29 Knicks Media Coverage Going Forward Learn more about your ad choices.
