The Knicks will be betting underdogs in the NBA Finals to whoever they play despite winning 11 straight playoff games, but Hall of Famer Reggie Miller doesn’t care.
Miller said the Knicks, who will have had eight days off when the NBA Finals begin June 3, will be “favored” to win the franchise’s first NBA championship since 1973.
“Whomever wins this series, I’ve seen enough from the Knicks,” Miller said while broadcasting Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on NBC with Mike Tirico and Jamal Crawford. “The Knicks are going to be favored in the Finals to win it all. I’m just telling you right now.”
“Hey, let me look at your cup,” Crawford joked, implying Miller was drinking alcohol when he made the comment.
The defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder lead their series 3-2 after taking Game 5 over the San Antonio Spurs, 127-114, behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 32 points and 9 assists.
