CELEBRATING NEW YORK KNICKS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 105 (Tuesday, June 23, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 105 (Tuesday, June 23, 2026)] [House] [Page H4195] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING NEW YORK KNICKS (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and celebrate with the New York Knicks on their historic NBA finals win. After 53 years of hoping each season would be the one, the Knicks are officially the 2025-2026 NBA champions. From watching their 1973 championship when I was a teenager to sharing this moment with my family, like many New Yorkers and fans across the world, we have waited a long time for this moment. I am proud that my home area has a special connection to this team. New York CD-16 is home to the Knicks' practice facility in Tarrytown, their Westchester Knicks G-League team, and many players, coaches, and families who live in my district, including the great Jalen Brunson. The heart of Knicks fans, coupled with the team's determination, charisma, and hard work on the court, represents the best of our district and the best of New York. Mr. Speaker, from the floor of the House of Representatives, I say: Go New York, Go New York, Go. Go Knicks. I congratulate them on a historic championship win. ____________________
