McEnroe, who recently finished broadcasting duties for the French Open, made sure to attend home games at Madison Square Garden during the NBA Finals.

I thought we'd win every five years!

"I thought we'd win every five years!" McEnroe quipped in a recent interview with ESPN's NBA Insider. He was just 14 years old when the Knicks won their second championship in the 1972-73 season. "I grew up in Queens, we won two championships when I was a kid, and then we never had a chance again. Honestly, I'm ready for the next one now."

McEnroe, known for his sharp commentary, also discussed basketball during the Grand Slam tournament. He invited former NBA player and current commentator Charles Barkley onto his and his brother Patrick McEnroe's show, "Mac Zone," to share insider stories from the sports world.
