Mark Ulriksen’s “Kings of New York”

For the cover of the June 1, 2026, issue, the artist Mark Ulriksen wanted to celebrate the Knicks, one of the city’s beloved basketball teams. “Their latest star, Jalen Brunson, belongs with the other greatest Knicks of all time,” Ulriksen said. “It would be quite the matchup if they could, in some alternate universe, all play against each other.”
