New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson had been deemed too small, by many a pundit, to be the man on a world championship team. Well, it turns out they were all dead wrong.
On Saturday night, Brunson dropped 45 points to guide the Knicks to a Game 5 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. The victory clinched the franchise their first ******* le since 1973, and left the 6-foot-2, 190-pound guard on top of the basketball world.
So, uh, Carolina Panthers fans—do you know of a professional sports club with an undersized leader and a long-time championship drought . . . ?
In honor of the Knicks' magical season, Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports just ranked the NFL teams that are most likely to end their Super Bowl-less runs in 2026. Of the 17 franchises listed, DeArdo has the Panthers at No. 11:
Carolina's chances of repeating as division champs will largely depend on the health of starters Ikem Ekwonu and Tershawn Wharton. Ekwonu continues to work his way back from a knee injury sustained in January. Wharton recently underwent a neck procedure and is expected to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
