New York City is officially having a basketball renaissance, all thanks to the city signing two of the best players in the world.
Jalen Brunson is rightfully being celebrated as the ultimate hero of the Big Apple after bringing NYC its first NBA title in 53 long years.
He deserves every single bit of that love, lifting the Larry O’Brien Trophy just four years after signing the dotted line with the Knicks.
But let’s not forget, the city experienced that exact same championship high two seasons ago when Breanna Stewart lifted the Liberty to their first-ever WNBA title.
It took Stewie just two seasons to totally crack the code, paving the way for the Knicks and Brunson to follow suit.
The dominance runs way deeper than just the main rings, too.
Both of these superstars have been out here hoarding mid-season hardware for the city.
Back in December, Brunson carried the Knicks to a gritty Emirates NBA Cup championship (winning the MVP in the process).
Not to be outdone, Stewart just went out and anchored the Liberty to a WNBA Commissioner's Cup trophy.
The question now is, what will each of them do to top themselves?
Because let's be real, the only thing better than one title is two.
As if they aren't massive enough heroes already, the absolute best way to cement your legacy in New York is to have a matching pair of rings.
