USMNT players completely lose it watching historic Knicks NBA Finals comeback vs. Spurs - The Athletic

On the eve of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, more than a dozen USMNT players gathered at their hotel in Irvine, California to watch the New York Knicks defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, with OG Anunoby tipping in a rebound off Jalen Brunson's 3-point attempt to complete a historic comeback. Midfielder Tyler Adams and defender Chris Richards were among the players who celebrated wildly, with Adams jumping over couches and Richards leaping onto a pile of teammates. The celebration came less than 48 hours before the USMNT's World Cup opener against Paraguay at SoFi Stadium on Friday.
