I'm watching the Knicks' playoff run from prison

The last time the New York Knicks played an NBA Finals game, in 1999, I rooted for them from my cellblock on Rikers Island. People cheered for the Knicks' highlight plays and jeered the opposing team. “I'll bet you an ice cream he misses the next free throw,” they would say, promising an item from the prison commissary store. Then they upset the Miami Heat, the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
