NBA Finals will show if the Knicks were a great team or just benefited from good fortune‎

The New York Knicks are on a historic playoff run. If they can get four more wins — and get them quickly — they would take their place up near the Lakers of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, or the Stephen Curry-Kevin Durant Warriors, among the NBA's dominant postseason powerhouses. If they fall to Oklahoma City or San Antonio in the NBA Finals, they risk being remembered as a team that feasted on a weak East, that won a bunch of games right up until the ones that mattered most.
