- 0:11Speaker 2: couple of clips for you, because man oh man, it
- 0:14Speaker 2: was electric. The whole Next team basically was there.
- 0:18Speaker 3: And.
- 0:20Speaker 2: I was watching with a fellow Nick fan virtually, and
- 0:26Speaker 2: I was cracking up because there were some great moments
- 0:29Speaker 2: last night. I mean, he interviewed Jalen Kat and Mike
- 0:33Speaker 2: Brown in one section, og Josh Hart and mccleridge is
- 0:39Speaker 2: in another section, and they all crashed his monologue. But
- 0:43Speaker 2: there were a couple of moments I wanted to play
- 0:44Speaker 2: for you right here at one Leg of Ballex Media.
- 0:46Speaker 2: And I'm sure the tonight show would not mind. Jimmy
- 0:50Speaker 2: Fallon would not mind either. I met him back in
- 0:52Speaker 2: twenty eighteen in the Winter Circle at Belmont. Here's a
- 0:55Speaker 2: couple of moments I wanted to really highlight for you,
- 0:57Speaker 2: And I'll drop the links to the entire episode in
- 1:00Speaker 2: the description below.
- 1:03Speaker 4: But I was right in the mix, and I'm like,
- 1:05Speaker 4: how I when the crowd gets so loud. I mean,
- 1:08Speaker 4: these are the greatest fans on earth love. I mean,
- 1:18Speaker 4: those comeback games I have to ask, is it is it?
- 1:24Speaker 4: Is it distracting or is it helpful when they're that
- 1:27Speaker 4: loud because you can't hear you.
- 1:29Speaker 3: No, it's helpful.
- 1:31Speaker 5: It is. Because there's a couple.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Of times I can hear you yelling, You're like no, no,
- 1:38Speaker 4: and then you're going I can't hear you and you're
- 1:40Speaker 4: yell yelling at each other. I'm like, oh my gosh.
- 1:42Speaker 4: But it was electrical. The garden was bouncing, the garden
- 1:45Speaker 4: was shaking. Literally literally, it.
- 1:46Speaker 5: Felt like that.
- 1:47Speaker 6: It was when we get the fans involved and we
- 1:49Speaker 6: give them something to cheer for.
- 1:51Speaker 4: It's it's it's something special, it's something one in life.
- 1:57Speaker 4: You said, the game starts at eight thirty, we start
- 1:59Speaker 4: playing at nine.
- 2:02Speaker 3: That made me laugh. That was so funny.
- 2:05Speaker 6: It was great.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I mean, I mean it seems funny, but I mean.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Coaches like, that's not funny. He wasn't too happy about laughing.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Yeah, he stresses every game. He goes, we got to
- 2:16Speaker 5: start the first quarter.
- 2:17Speaker 4: Better than the last one.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I realized, you know, we ain't.
- 2:24Speaker 4: And then the coach Brown you started leading the team
- 2:29Speaker 4: with a different song, who let the Dogs Out by
- 2:31Speaker 4: the Baha Man?
- 2:32Speaker 5: What is that song?
- 2:33Speaker 3: We gotta put that the bed.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Yeah, but where did that come from?
- 2:40Speaker 2: Was that something?
- 2:42Speaker 3: This is story?
- 2:43Speaker 4: So I got two boys, you know what, we need
- 2:45Speaker 4: the story as well.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we both.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Need to hear this.
- 2:48Speaker 5: I was an assistant San Antonio many moons ago. The
- 2:51Speaker 5: reporter that asked me the question, he said, what did
- 2:54Speaker 5: you learn during your time here when you coached the
- 2:57Speaker 5: seven year old Dogs flag football team? And so I said,
- 3:02Speaker 5: I said, I learned to cheer because we used to
- 3:04Speaker 5: have all the parents come into the huddle, all the
- 3:06Speaker 5: kids come in the huddle before every game. We put
- 3:08Speaker 5: everybody put their hands in, right, all right, we're gonna practice,
- 3:11Speaker 5: and everybody to do this. Put your hands in, put
- 3:13Speaker 5: your hands in. And then I'd go.
- 3:15Speaker 2: One, two, three, I'd go, Look the Dogs. At this point,
- 3:22Speaker 2: Jalen and kat are losing their mind on the stage.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It was something to whid.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Can't just take her.
- 3:31Speaker 5: To walk out?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Not to walk out?
- 3:34Speaker 4: Stop doing it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And then Jimmy asked Jalen about that hug at center
- 3:39Speaker 2: court with his dad after winning the finals. This is
- 3:43Speaker 2: a very interesting commentary from Jalen Brunson, and I think
- 3:47Speaker 2: it dictates how they were able to win this championship.
- 3:55Speaker 4: That was a perfect moment.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Is it tough?
- 4:04Speaker 4: Is it amazing? Is it tough? Is it hard having
- 4:07Speaker 4: your dad right there and be like, I mean, that's
- 4:09Speaker 4: a lot of emotion. He's right there and you're hugging, and.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a lot of I was. I was
- 4:13Speaker 3: good before before I saw him, and then I obviously
- 4:17Speaker 3: got emotional afterwards. But man, it was it is everything
- 4:21Speaker 3: I dreamed of. It's all the all the times that
- 4:23Speaker 3: you had.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Kid, and he's practicing with you and telling you, and
- 4:26Speaker 4: you're going over drills over and over again. You're like, Dad,
- 4:28Speaker 4: one day, I'm gonna make it.
- 4:29Speaker 5: Just make it.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Yeah to the NBA let.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Alone, Absolutely not when but you focus on just the
- 4:35Speaker 3: little things, and you'd be surprised what happens when you
- 4:39Speaker 3: just you put all your energy into little details. Actually matter.
- 4:43Speaker 2: What's that.
- 4:47Speaker 5: You were?
- 4:48Speaker 4: You were a New York's team, but I really believe
- 4:50Speaker 4: that you were. You were the country's team because everyone
- 4:52Speaker 4: started rooting for the next and everyone loved you so much,
- 4:57Speaker 4: And that.
- 4:58Speaker 2: To me was the moment right there. I was like, yep,
- 5:01Speaker 2: he's right, and that was that was a line I
- 5:03Speaker 2: wanted to play for you. You weren't just New York's team, Nicks,
- 5:07Speaker 2: you were the country's team. And I think we feel that.
- 5:13Speaker 2: I think we're gonna feel that Thursday when the parade
- 5:15Speaker 2: comes down the Canyon of Heroes. Of course, I'm gonna
- 5:17Speaker 2: play my interview with Lou Turbinello recorded yesterday. I'll play

- 8:00Speaker 1: I just I saw a man flying.
- 8:02Speaker 4: You saw a man man flying?
- 8:04Speaker 6: Is I just I couldn't believe that he had the
- 8:08Speaker 6: you know, athleticism to tip the ball and air have
- 8:11Speaker 6: like control of the ball. So like you, I thought
- 8:14Speaker 6: maybe one of tip is where maybe go around and rim,
- 8:16Speaker 6: but see may had a real good like possession of
- 8:18Speaker 6: the ball.
- 8:18Speaker 5: It's crazy crazy.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Then one of the most exciting moments and the intriguing
- 8:22Speaker 2: moments of the night was this exchange about Josh Hart
- 8:25Speaker 2: untying Jimmy Fallon's shoe when he was churdside during the playoffs.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Take a listen, Josh, I.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Have to talk about the untying of the shoes because
- 8:35Speaker 4: I was at I was at game one of the
- 8:37Speaker 4: seventy six ers series and you did something I never
- 8:40Speaker 4: could have predicted. I didn't think this would happen, But
- 8:42Speaker 4: we have a clip.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Take a list look at Josh Hart.
- 8:45Speaker 2: You know he's always known as a jokester and goes
- 8:48Speaker 2: right up to the ultimate jokester.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon says, Okay, let me let me help you
- 8:51Speaker 1: out with that unties of shoe.
- 8:53Speaker 2: That was a quick retie by Fallon.
- 8:55Speaker 4: Well, okay, because again I had you on this show before,
- 9:00Speaker 4: and I love you, and we played Password together and
- 9:03Speaker 4: so but on the on the court, I don't look
- 9:05Speaker 4: at you. You don't look at me. You're focused you,
- 9:07Speaker 4: which I totally understand. I don't want to bother anybody,
- 9:09Speaker 4: and uh, and so I was just like really for
- 9:12Speaker 4: you the whole game, and we didn't say anything to
- 9:14Speaker 4: me whatever. And then you walk by and I thought
- 9:16Speaker 4: you were fixing your sock or something, and you untied
- 9:18Speaker 4: my shoe like a dude. And then you because then
- 9:23Speaker 4: you you won by like twenty points or whatever. That yeah,
- 9:26Speaker 4: and then the next game I went to you did
- 9:28Speaker 4: it again, and then you also won. And then to
- 9:32Speaker 4: come back game, yeah, you did it again. And so
- 9:36Speaker 4: every time I watched the game, I kept untie my shoe.
- 9:38Speaker 4: And have you done that to other people before you did?
- 9:43Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I might have did it
- 9:44Speaker 1: to Aaron Judge one time. But for me, I like,
- 9:48Speaker 1: I like when I'm on the court, like I'm locked in,
- 9:53Speaker 1: but once I step off the court, I like this.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I liked me. I like this having fun. Man. So
- 9:58Speaker 1: I saw you and I was just like, you know what,
- 10:00Speaker 1: let me mess with Jimmy a little bit. I thought
- 10:02Speaker 1: the shoe and I was like, ah, now that's our thing.
- 10:05Speaker 4: That's our thing. And I loved it and it brought
- 10:07Speaker 4: me luck. And I was there with my daughter on
- 10:09Speaker 4: the comeback one and she was like, Dad, do you
- 10:10Speaker 4: think they can come back like really like twenty two
- 10:13Speaker 4: points or every twenty And I go, it's possible. I mean,
- 10:17Speaker 4: I go, you know what, untie my shoe, like Josh,
- 10:20Speaker 4: and she untied my shoe, and I think that's why
- 10:22Speaker 4: you guys want.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but I I.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Thought it'd be interesting. I brought the shoe that I
- 10:28Speaker 4: wore to that game and I had the team sign it,
- 10:32Speaker 4: but they left. They left this place for you to
- 10:35Speaker 4: sign it. I'd be honored if you're the last Nick
- 10:38Speaker 4: to sign my shoe, and then maybe we could retire
- 10:41Speaker 4: this to the rafters here at thirty row.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go over here. I'll go here.
- 10:47Speaker 6: Yeah, Champ, right, come on champ. I want to go
- 10:55Speaker 6: retire with me.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Let's go retire the shoe come over here. Here we go,
- 10:59Speaker 4: very very sad about this. This will live in the
- 11:03Speaker 4: rafters forever.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Here you go.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Thanks Josh, you do the honors.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Here we go.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, here we go.
- 11:09Speaker 6: Wow, fantastic.
- 11:13Speaker 3: There it is.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Don't do it.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, he said he was gonna.
- 11:19Speaker 2: And as Ryan Pagano said, I hope that shoe never
- 11:22Speaker 2: comes down from the rafters of Jimmy Fallon's studio. So
