Standing on the court because the Knicks celebrated their first championship in 53 years, Stephen A. admitted he never truly believed he\u2019d see the day. He reflected on all of the misery, frustration, and heartbreak Knicks fans endured over time before finally attending to witness the last word payoff. And truthfully, Roomies?
