2024 NBA Finals to Continue Cursed Knicks Streak

The New York Knicks are going to the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics' Eastern Conference Finals sweep-clinching victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night kept one of the more uncanny streaks in NBA history alive: each and every edition of the NBA Finals continues to feature some form of metropolitan involvement, as a past, present, or future Knick is set to partake in all 78 incarnations. This year's entrants offer a familiar, if not jaded, face to the proceedings, as former headliner and first-year Celtic Kristaps Porzingis could be donning his first championship ring. Porzingis has missed each of Boston's last 10 games with a calf injury but there's another former New Yorker in tow in the from of backup center Luke Kornet.
