Some news, as the kids say.

Thank you to all of my colleagues at @ESPN for letting me live out my childhood dreams the last 7-plus years.

And thank you to Onsi Saleh, Tony and Nick Ressler and the rest of the @ATLHawks for an incredible opportunity.

Fired up to get started.

And a special thank you to @BannedMacMahon, @WindhorstESPN and Jackson for letting me be part of The Pod, and to our listeners. It is easily the thing I’m proudest of doing in my career.

I’m sad to no longer be part of it, but I’ll be a loyal listener — with no interruptions!

New ESPN story: It's been 53 long years, but the New York Knicks – after decades full of near misses and futility – have delivered to their fans, in the most remarkable way, the thing they've wanted for so long: an NBA championship.

www.espn.com Go New York Go: After a 53-year wait, the NBA title belongs to the Knicks New York has delivered some of the greatest championships of the past 53 years. Finally, the Knicks have theirs.

From the great @StatsWilliams:

To have 45 points in a close out Finals victory all-time:

Michael Jordan, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bob Pettit …

And, now, Jalen Brunson.

What a performance.

And it is a flagrant foul. Knicks will now have a chance to cut the lead to five and also keep the ball.

This looks like a flagrant foul on De'Aaron Fox. If that's what is called, that could be a huge mistake by Fox here late in the half.
