OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUEThe New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA Championship, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals (June 3–13, 2026), ending a 53-year title drought dating back to 1973. Jalen Brunson was named Finals MVP after a dominant performance, including 45 points in the clinching Game 5. The prediction — made on May 26 with the Knicks already in the Finals — correctly called the Knicks as champions.
