Knights in the Finals

The NBA Finals ignite with San Antonio Spurs vs. New York Knicks — and Knights fans have plenty to cheer for. Spurs coach Johnny Dawkins, drafted 10th by San Antonio in ’86, spent three seasons there before becoming a coach. GM Brian Wright, who earned his Sports Business degree at UCF in ’07, helped build the Spurs’ current dynasty by drafting stars like Wembanyama. And player Ibrahima Diallo, a UCF alum, played for the Spurs’ G-League team after stints with the Knicks’ affiliate. With Spurs chasing their sixth title and a sweet ’99 Finals win over the Knicks, the Knights’ legacy runs deep in this matchup. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
