New Yorkers must be pleased to have representation in the NBA playoffs, with the Brooklyn Nets a legitimate threat for the NBA Championship this year. However, that hardly suggests that Knicks fans are relying on the Nets to bring the gold home.
While some Knicks fans are likely supporting the Nets to go all the way following their team’s exit, the Nets certainly do not speak for all of New York. Who knows what the feeling would have been had the Knicks not just come off an amazing season. The team made the playoffs for the first time since 2013 while Julius Randle has gone on to establish himself as one of the best players in the league. The guard was part of the MVP conversation and was named the Most Improved Player last month.
Both Randle and Derrick Rose finished in the top 10 in MVP voting – Randle eighth and Rose ninth as Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic won the award. Meanwhile, head coach Tom Thibodeau has been named Coach of the Year, beating the Phoenix Suns’ Monty Williams. “The whole team, from top to bottom, they were very special, they were very tight, hard-working and gave everything they had each and every day,” Thibodeau said to TNT’s Inside the NBA crew following the announcement.

Standing in front of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer and U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman presented the congressional resolution declaring the Bronx and 1520 Sedgwick Avenue the birthplace of hip hop. The resolution designates August 11, 2021 as “Hip Hop Celebration Day”, August 2021 as “Hip Hop Recognition Month”, and November 2021 as “Hip Hop History Month”. Schumer and Bowman said that the resolution, agreed to by the United States Senate, rightfully recognizes and celebrates hip hop and its cultural impact. Schumer and Bowman said that federal recognition of the art of hip hop is long overdue.
Hip hop, now a world-wide phenomenon, had humble beginnings in New York City. Schumer and Bowman explained that on August 11, 1973, at a “Back To School Jam” held in the recreation room of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York, a new innovative style of disk jockeying and engaging the crowd with rap was introduced by Clive “DJ Kool Herc” Campbell. Since then, hip hop culture has spread across the nation and the world, uniquely infusing itself into the roots of communities everywhere.
“For decades I have fought to preserve and protect the legacy of Hip Hop as a truly original American art form. When greedy landlords wanted to close the apartment building on Sedgwick Avenue, where DJ Kool…
