The Knicks raised their championship banner, celebrated their title, and then lost their season opener to the 76ers. But Evan Roberts has a stunning admission: even as a Knicks hater, he couldn't enjoy their defeat! Evan and Tiki Barber explain why the emotional ring ceremony mattered far more than the final score and why Knicks fans shouldn't lose a second of sleep over ugly performances from Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns.
But the celebration also sparks an unexpectedly emotional moment for Evan. Watching legends from the Knicks' 1973 championship team participate in the ceremony makes him think about Joe Namath and the Jets. With time running out to reunite the franchise's Super Bowl III heroes with a future championship team, Evan shares why the Knicks' special night left him feeling jealous, emotional, and genuinely sad about the Jets' championship drought.
