The last time the Knicks made the NBA finals, Britney Spears dropped the generation-defining Baby One More Time, Napster gave us permission to illegally download music, and T9 word just became a thing. Fast forward to this past Monday when the Knicks swept their series against the Cavaliers – and all of New York is ready to party like it's 1999. 

In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: 

  • Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift walk into a bar…we mean the Cavs courtside

  • Why OG Anunoby and Martha Stewart are on their way to a Skechers collab 

  • How the Salesian sisters gained their basketball wings at the Spurs game 

  • Why Coco Gauff, Jannik Sinner, and Aryna Sabalenka only gave 15 minutes of press time at Roland Garros
