I remember watching Knicks teams with zero good NBA players on them. Maybe they’d have a guy like Wilson Chandler where you’re like, “You know what, that guy is holding his own out there.” Or a guy like Trevor Ariza, who made me say, “Hey, maybe someday, that guy could be useful for a team that doesn’t suck.” But a lot of the time, there would be five players on the court who were not good enough to play effective NBA-level hoops. Every spot was a weak spot.

Right now, the Knicks have a 10-deep rotation. And not one of those 10 guys is a liability. There’s not a single player who comes into the game and makes me say, “If they can just survive these minutes …”

The Knicks took a 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals on Wednesday night for their 12th win in a row and their first lead in a championship series since the day O.J. went out for a drive in his Bronco. The game was movie-type stuff. Jalen Brunson struggled with knee and ankle injuries, but rallied the team back from a 14-point second-half deficit.

The Knicks are a playoff juggernaut not because of their grit or clutchness. They’ve needed those traits just a couple times. Instead, they’ve won game after game, and series after series, with an incredible ability to adapt.

Winning in the NBA Playoffs often comes down to isolating a team’s weakness and attacking it mercilessly. But the Knicks don’t really have any weak points. And while the Spurs might have the best player on the planet, they have clear vulnerabilities.
