Kevin Durant Surprised by Knicks' NBA Championship Comeback

Kevin Durant acknowledged his skepticism regarding the New York Knicks' chances of winning the NBA championship until the decisive game of their Finals series against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Knicks made a remarkable comeback from significant deficits throughout the series, ultimately defeating the Spurs 4-1 to secure their first NBA title in 53 years. Despite San Antonio establishing early leads, the Knicks consistently rallied in the late stages of games.

Durant noted that he was uncertain about New York's prospects for most of the series, particularly after the Spurs built commanding leads, including a 29-point advantage in Game 4. The Knicks' ability to erase double-digit deficits in all five games highlighted their resilience, culminating in a championship run that even left Durant convinced by the end.
