  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Opening game, Knicks, Philly 76ers tonight at the Garden. You
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: see a lot of people rocking knit caps downstairs, Natalie Migliore?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Knit caps, jerseys, everything in between. Any way to show
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: that they are a Knicks fan, whether a dedicated Knicks
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: fan or just somebody who's a fan by association of
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: being in New York. You run into those people a lot.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Can I add something?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: When you say Knicks, you have to say world champion
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: World champion New York Knicks. Now, those world champions, they're
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: going to tip off against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight at
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: 7 p.m., but things will get underway before that. Because
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the team's going to raise the 2026 championship banner to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the rafters of Madison Square Garden. And the players get
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: their championship rings. So who is ready for the return
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of this NBA season?
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a Knicks fan from New York.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I can't wait.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Remember the only years they had.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Now I have to wait for some new more years.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm definitely ready. I can't wait to see it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. I think the Knicks will prevail again. Obviously.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Let's go Knicks.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Knicks are fine.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Hopefully they do it again.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to be good this year, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: I know there was some question about Kyle Anthony's contract.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? So I don't know if
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: that's going to do some kind of damage.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Do you say give him the money, though?
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: The guy's good.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: If you can't get it, get it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Now, contract negotiations between Cat and the team, as far
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: as we knew, stalled ahead of regular season. He was
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: eligible for a four-year, $ 276 million extension, but the team
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: offering him, $ 200 million deal for the same amount of time.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: At the time of the dispute, Cat had said it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was news to him. But what's not news to him
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: or the rest of the team is that they'll be
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: facing off against the 76ers who now have LeBron James
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: in their corner. How's that going to go?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I think the Knicks will lose. Why do you say that?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Because LeBron's just too tough to deal with. And it's
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: a whole new a team they haven't played for a
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: long time, so I think it'll be tough. He'll be
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: looking to score 100 points. I think it's going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: be a different atmosphere, a different environment for him.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: LeBron has definitely overcome a lot of things, and I
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: think he's going to pull through.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think we can take him.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's getting a little up there, LeBron, so
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's time for some new talent. Now, LeBron James has
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: gone from West Coast to East Coast, and he's not
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: expected to live in Philadelphia. Okay, he's actually expected to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: live here in New York. So how's he going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: get between the two cities? He says he's going to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: take a helicopter, dismissing it as just another form of transportation.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: If I was LeBron, I would do the same thing.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds very LeBron. I think that, yeah,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: it sounds like him.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I've I think that sounds ridiculous, but I mean, what
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: is that, like a 40-minute fight?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: What's the worst that could happen? Another Kobe situation?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Come on, man.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: When you reach that kind of peak like these guys,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: you know, anything goes. It ain't going to be weekly.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Trust me, he'll find a nice big mansion. right up
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: there in Philly or whatever, once you settle in. Wouldn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: you jump on a helicopter?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You literally opened it with what else could happen, another Kobe?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, that's the chances of life.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: The chances of life. So that guy would jump on a,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I was going to say on a roller coaster, on
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a helicopter. And the guy, the first guy was right.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's about a 40 minute helicopter ride, they say, between
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Philly and New York. So that's what LeBron is going to, uh,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Two at this point. Now, the last guy who we
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: talked to said that's the chances of life. Larry, when
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I first came in, asked, what are the chances of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Knicks winning this game?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Who's favored?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And that's the Knicks. They're favored to win, but Curtis
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: thinks not.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: No, I'm a Knick fan. Been a Knick fan my
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: whole life. They're going to lose tonight. The Sixers, there's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: too much background drama going on in the Knicks clubhouse
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: over contracts. Now, for a guy to be complaining, who
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: would have been making 50 mil a year, right? 200
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a million. 50 mil a year. Oh, I ain't getting
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: paid enough. You know that ain't going away.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But you don't think that he's proved to himself he's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: worth the money? He won a championship ring with five
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: guys on the court.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That's what I was asking people.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: He won the ring. Just suck it up and negotiate
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: after this year. Hopefully you don't get injured and you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: can get what you want. Win another championship. Get another
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: ring first.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Now, one guy on the street said he thought that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: they were going to lose because of all the hoopla
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that's going to go on tonight. They're going to raise
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the banner.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: They're going to get their rings.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: He called it, I couldn't get it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He called it dopamina. Yeah. Let me ask you a question.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me that Spike Lee's going to get a ring. Please.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I hate seeing that guy. We'll find out. I hate
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: seeing that guy out on the court.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: There's so much hate.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: There's so much hate. It's weird, isn't it? Oh, no.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Knicks are going to lose.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Do you just want to go against the grain? You
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think they're going.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: To win, Larry?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who's going to win tonight. I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: really don't.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a tremendous game.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: But the Knicks are favored by four and a half.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You know me.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Whatever that means.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The owner, Jimmy Dolan, pay your property taxes, $ 48 million.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Thanks a lot.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Natalie McGlurie will be back tomorrow morning at 7.50.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Let's check in on the midterms.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It's getting close and there's a lot of drama.
