The New York Knicks’ championship hopes ended with a 125-108 defeat to the Indiana Pacers in the Conference Finals. After defeating the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks lost 4-2 to the Pacers. Meanwhile, Knicks center Mitchell Robinson came up with a venting frustration and dropped a wild parade promise after the team’s season-ending loss.
The 27-year-old big man returned in late February after four months of his ankle surgery. Despite limited time, he averaged 7.8 rebounds,5.3 points, and 1.0 blocks in his last 10 games. In game 6, he contributed eight points on 4-for-4 shooting, nine rebounds, and two blocks in the first half alone.
“When we go & win a championship & I’m in the parade, Imma be on this b*tch with a mic, you feel me?” Robinson posted on social media, talking about his 40-foot trailer, which quickly gained attention. His bold comments indicate his determination and desire to make a strong comeback for the upcoming season.

Robinson, the Knicks’ longest-tenured player, is known for his elite defensive play. He also offers strong shot-blocking and rebounding ability. However, a poor free-throw percentage could hurt spacing on the court, especially with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.
However, he had only one year left on his contract with the Knicks. While Brandin Podziemski was rising and Buddy Hield was on the roster, Moody became a target piece.
