Cinco de Luncho: How Long Has It Really Been for the Knicks?

Shaun Morash serves up a Cinco de Luncho built around just how much has changed since the Knicks last reached the NBA Finals in 1999. From The Sopranos and Ricky Martin to John Elway and classic late nineties movies, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the pop culture reminders that make New York’s long basketball drought feel even more surreal. The conversation turns from nostalgia to emotion as callers explain what this Knicks run means after decades of frustration and bad basketball. Evan and Tiki compare this moment to 1999, discuss why this version feels different, and capture the mix of joy, disbelief, rivalry, and sports pain surrounding the Knicks’ return to the Finals.
