As I have mentioned before, the Knicks has over 50% probability to win in five games. I have been able to accurate predicted numerous championships correctly because I look beyond the traditional factors that analysts frequently use to predicted wins and losses. In my prediction model, I lean on a conjoint analysis model where scenarios are run on various levels based on meta data with granular inputs like how many times a player blinks while looking at someone else while someone else eat their food not talking to teammate X when the owner is talking to no one but teammate B while the team mascot turns around 95 degrees toward the Southwest. Yes, there is a reason why I am the permanent contrarian, even then I am not the traditional so called permanent contrarian because I don’t argue for the sake of being different, I voice my opinions because my top ten-er profile, American aligned attitude, street OGability, a world creator mindset and other traits that allow me to affect outcomes when outcomes by limitations of sciences thus far will always mean there will be uncertainty. I simply taken the uncertainty out of the lack of science portion and create a model that substitute natural progression with real world predications.
The thing is, many analysts look at the data sets that are already somewhere, compiles and aggregate that into an explanable story packaged as a prediction. What I do is simply take that data set and add all the various data sets that never existed and created a story from my own imaginations. Because I am one of the GOATs in certain circle(s), I have the confidence to make such predictions based on my global and historical experiences going against, frequently with prior intentions, the worst and the best in human nature. I am at a point where I am able to explain what luck is through dissecting its various components and imagining its evolutional journey from its synergetic bonding process. All this to say is, I combine the science and the arts into what I do in a dichotomy of languages that the top %ers, street sensibles and everyone in between can understand. I am frequently right because I don’t depend on being right to make a living. I’m a probability kind of a person. However, I am often right because I seen too much nuances to not understand the unknown number of variation to truth.

New York Villanova Nova Knicks win the 2026 NBA Finals in 5 games against the San Antonio Spurs.
In terms of the Knicks, I think they will probably win a few more championships in the next few, the most meaningful ones would be a dynasty which unfortunately will likely be difficult to achieve because the Eastern conference will be quite good for the next decade unfortunately. The West is more too heavily but the East has more high ceiling teams overall and the top four teams are excellent. Shorter heighted guards like Brunson statistically depend on speed and agility. Even though Brunson has a nice post up game as well, the duration of his prime athletic years will likely be very similar to other similar attributed athletes. I think the Knicks will be willing to spend money for the next few years to maintain core of the roster even if they have to pay luxury tax. The real issue is not so much about money, it’s the fact that the Nova Knicks are basically like the Ivan Brothers from way back. They are mythical and likely unreplicable. For starters, the Jay Wright era has been over for four years now, there are zero players remaining from that era to draft straight out of Villanova. The NCAA has changed permanently due to NIL which means there likely won’t be that much time for that kind of bond to exist anymore at the elite levels. Villanova itself is no longer an underdog, they are now playing with the majors at all aspects. All this means that the perfect storm that created the Nova Knicks likely won’t exist for a long time. The Knicks at this point also won’t have much top draft picks left to draft the best players in the next few years which probably doesn’t really matter that much anyway given their picks based on current results likely will end up being late round 1st round picks any way. However, it also means the Knicks will have the incentives to keep the current core roster for a few more years.
I’m not worried about the Knicks financially for one bit even if they have to spend to get to whatever apron it gets to. A good Knicks team will most likely make a lot of money and increase team valuation significantly. I see the Knicks team valuation 10Xing within a few decades given the likely expansion of the NBA internationally especially with development of travel technology that may also be very safe that will decrease travel times exponentially. I foresee a Mexico City franchise and possibly a franchise or two in Western Europe in the next two decades. I also believe we are in the renaissance of new sports and new concepts in general where basketball in general will likely be a great beneficiary of that with its rapid global growth. I will say it once more, the biggest beneficiary of all of this will actually not even be the Knicks, it is Villanova University. Villanova is expanding rapidly in academics, endowment and campuses. This university has so much going for it, I think they may break into top 20 US and top 100 globally in rankings within the next three decades. The analogy to this is simple, most people are awed by how much a first edition Charizard graded 10 by a certain popular cards grading company go for. Like people discussing how doing business can make one rich, what most people are unable to understand the survivor bias behind all of this. Very few 1st Edition Base Set Charizards actually get graded 10s from the said company, even so, people often differentiate between the ones graded earlier versus the ones graded later due to purposed differences in grading strictness over the years.
What people also may forget is even though the 1st Edition Base Set Charizard cards were not all that expensive at around 100 dollars on the secondary market in 1999, acquiring large lots of these raw cards from willing sellers likely were not that easy given many people probably hanged on to that card because they thought correctly it might be more valuable in the future. One thing to keep in mind is the market has the incentive to ensure not too many copies of these in pristine conditions exist because of simple economic supply, demand and rarity reasons that significantly affect the value of the most valuable cards. If there were much more of these cards, unless demands can soak up the excess supplies at higher market prices, the prices of these cards will likely decrease. 1st Edition Base Set Pikachu cards when they first came out in 1999 were relatively common to find, obviously depends on whether its a red cheek or yellow cheek Pikachu. Remember, the odds of find a 1st Edition Base Set Charizard was one in 48 packs. The 1st Edition Base Set Pikachu was a common card, it literally was very easy to find within the packs. Without going into all the tangible and intangible calculations again, even though there likely were a lot more 1st Edition Base Set Pikachu printed versus the Charizard, the average person will have likely had a much better net transactional, inflation and time value of money adjusted ROI buying numerous number of Pikachu cards with the same amount of money it would have costed the person in buying the Charizard as a single on the secondary market from that same set in 1999.
