My latest op-ed calls on Gov. Kathy Hochul to veto legislation that will create unnecessary state level regulations for common, safe ingredients. A1556-G would add red tape, disrupt supply chains, and drive up prices. recordonline.com/story/opini…

Gov. Hochul must veto the Food Safety and Chemical Disclosure Act, which would reduce the types of products available and raise costs for families.

There are no more questions about Jalen Brunson. Every critic, every doubter -- he is now a legend in New York -- 45 points and the Knicks win their first title in 53 years, 94-90.

This wasn't called as a foul against Victor Wembanyama in real time, so the same dance ensues if San Antonio wins this Game 5 as seen after Game 3. The play will be reviewed by the league office. A retroactive flagrant foul for Wemby would mean a one-game suspension for Game 6.

.@jack_arpey: Experts say bills dealing with tech regulation, including a one-year moratorium on data centers and surveillance pricing, are the most likely to see significant changes before the Gov signs them, or not. @capitaltonight @empirereportny spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/ce…
Expert: Tech bills most likely to spur tough negotiations with Hochul

Hochul has until the end of the year to decide whether to sign legislation.

The Knicks had never come back from a 29-point deficit to win a game in the history of the franchise. Not in the regular season. Not in the playoffs And not in the NBA fucking Finals. Until tonight.

"We clearly weren't the most hungry in the second half." Wemby after the Spurs gave up the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.

I was here for the 94 and 99 Finals, the Larry Johnson 4-point play, a ton of other huge Knicks moments. Tonight’s historic comeback is the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed in Madison Square Garden.

Chants of 'OG, OG, OG!' breakout amid the sustained roars from the Garden crowd. What a play and what a player. OG Anunoby didn't do it by himself, but he was a driving force behind NYK's 29-point comeback in Game 4. Knicks are up 3-1 with a chance to close series on Saturday.

The Atlanta Hawks remain the only team to win a game against the Knicks in these playoffs..... And that was 42 days ago
Adam Zagoria (@AdamZagoria) profile pictureAdam Zagoria@AdamZagoriaJun 6
The Knicks STILL haven't lost since April 23 and have now won 13 straight playoff games, 8 straight on the road. They will go back to MSG up 2-0 and can close it out at home. Unreal final quarter
