Knicks Center Makes Championship Promise

"The 40-foot trailer ... yeah, you know Mitch. Doing too damn much," Robinson said in a video on his social media channels (h/t New York Basketball on X). "Want some flat speakers on this thing to make a stage, you know what I'm saying? So when we go and win a championship, in the parade, I'm going to be on this b**** with a mike, you feel me?"

One can only imagine the jubilant chaos a Knicks championship parade would create considering the way fans react to non-Finals victories. Things reached an unprecedented level this past spring as the Knicks reached their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.

A championship, however, continued to prove elusive, as the Knicks were denied entry into the Finals by the Indiana Pacers, though the progress and a rash of injuries among competitors has some pegging New York as a favorite to rep the Eastern Conference in next year's festivities.

Time will tell if Robinson, the longest-tenured Manhattanite who just wrapped up his seventh season in a Knick uniform, and his trailer are along for the ride. Robinson's return from a lengthy injury absence did thrust the Knicks' season in a more productive direction but he could be among the first or primary sacrifices if and when the Knicks seek a splashy move during the upcoming transactional chaos that typically defines the NBA offseason.
