Four. A divine number. The four elements = earth, water, fire and wind. Buddhism has four noble truths. The Hebrew Tetragrammaton, u05d9u05d4u05d5u05d4, is the name of God. The Hindu god Brahma has four faces. I think I dated them in 2004. Divinity contains all things, both sacred and mundane, providential and profane. Knick legend and Hall of Famer Carl Braun wore the number four. So did Arron Afflalo.
So here we are: the final four in our Most Knicks Moment Ever* tournament. It feels perfectly Knicksy that in a tournament that began with two brackets devoted to joy and one to dunks, we still end up with three of the four finalists being painful moments.
