Knicks fans think they’ve found a sign — and it’s hiding in a Jalen Brunson tweet that dates back to this exact day in 2015.

A post Brunson fired off as an 18‑year‑old on June 13, 2015, “One win away,” has suddenly been pulled out of the X archives and turned into a rallying point as New York inches toward its first NBA Finals appearance in decades.
At the time, the Chicago‑area native was almost certainly referring to the Chicago Blackhawks, who were one victory from clinching the Stanley Cup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. They sealed the title days later.
Now, with Brunson at the center of the Knicks’ postseason push, fans are treating the timing like a cosmic wink.

Inside Madison Square Garden, the coincidence gets even louder. Hanging above the court is the number 613, a tribute to legendary coach Red Holzman’s 613 career wins, the most in franchise history and the total he amassed while leading the Knicks to their last championship in 1973.
And on Saturday, June 13, the Knicks (3–1) will take the floor against the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center, sitting one win away from their first NBA championship since 1973.
Can a tweet from 11 years ago, posted by No. 11 himself, really be a sign for Knicks fans tonight?
