• 0:28
  while

  I've

  been
• 0:29
  here.
• 0:29
  I
• 0:29
  actually
• 0:30
  had
• 0:30
  to

  sure
• 0:30
  that

  to
• 0:31
  get

  into

  the

• 1:05
  by
• 1:06
  Harris
• 1:06
  Richard
• 1:06
  from
• 1:07
  Knickerbocker
• 1:07
  Banner.
• 1:08
  We
• 1:09
  had
• 1:09
  him
• 1:09
  on
• 1:09
  last
• 1:09
  year
• 1:10
  during
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  run
• 1:11
  to
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  Eastern
• 1:11
  Conference
• 1:12
  finals.
• 1:12
  And
• 1:12
  now
• 1:12
  this
• 1:13
  year
• 1:13
  we
• 1:13
  get
• 1:14
  to
• 1:14
  talk
• 1:14
  about
• 1:14
  the
• 1:15
  world
• 1:15
  champion
• 1:16
  New
• 1:16
  York
• 1:16
  Knicks.
• 1:17
  So,
• 1:17
  Harris,
• 1:17
  how
• 1:17
  are
• 1:17
  you?
• 1:18
  Well,
• 1:18
  after
• 1:19
  you
• 1:19
  say
• 1:19
  world
• 1:19
  championship,
• 1:21
  how
• 1:21
  could
• 1:21
  I
• 1:21
  not
• 1:21
  be
• 1:22
  great?
• 1:22
  Andy,
• 1:23
  I
• 1:23
  really
• 1:23
  appreciate
• 1:23
  you
• 1:24
  having
• 1:24
  me
• 1:24
  on.
• 1:25
  You
• 1:25
  mentioned
• 1:26
  last
• 1:26
  year,
• 1:26
  but
• 1:27
  I
• 1:27
  mean,
• 1:28
  very
• 1:28
  surreal.
• 1:28
  People
• 1:29
  have
• 1:29
  asked
• 1:29
  me
• 1:29
  how
• 1:29
  I,
• 1:30
  you
• 1:30
  know,
• 1:30
  feel
• 1:30
  about
• 1:30
  the
• 1:31
  run
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  team
• 1:32
  and
• 1:33
  everything
• 1:33
  that's
• 1:33
  gone
• 1:33
  on.
• 1:34
  Lucky
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  survive
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  parade.
• 1:36
  I'm
• 1:36
  sure
• 1:36
  we'll
• 1:36
  get
• 1:36
  to
• 1:36
  that.
• 1:37
  But
• 1:37
  the
• 1:38
  2026
• 1:39
  NBA
• 1:40
  champion
• 1:40
  New
• 1:41
  York
• 1:41
  Knicks,
• 1:41
  it
• 1:42
  rolls
• 1:42
  right
• 1:42
  off
• 1:42
  the
• 1:43
  tongue.
• 1:43
  We
• 1:43
  waited
• 1:43
  our
• 1:43
  whole
• 1:44
  lifetimes
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  say
• 1:44
  it.
• 1:45
  It's
• 1:45
  an
• 1:46
  unbelievable
• 1:46
  feeling.
• 1:46
  That's
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  best
• 1:47
  way
• 1:47
  I
• 1:47
  could
• 1:47
  describe
• 1:48
  it.
• 1:48
  That
• 1:48
  seems
• 1:48
  totally
• 1:49
  fair.
• 1:49
  And
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  know,
• 1:50
  we'll
• 1:50
  jump
• 1:50
  right
• 1:50
  into
• 1:50
  it.
• 1:51
  You
• 1:51
  know,
• 1:52
  this
• 1:52
  is
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  team
• 1:53
  that
• 1:53
  went
• 1:54
  on
• 1:54
  one
• 1:54
  of
• 1:54
  the,
• 1:55
  one
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  the
• 1:56
  more
• 1:56
  memorable
• 1:56
  runs
• 1:57
  of
• 1:58
  NBA
• 1:58
  playoff
• 2:00
  history
• 2:00
  in
• 2:01
  recent
• 2:01
  memory.
• 2:01
  Anyway,
• 2:03
  16
• 2:04
  3,
• 2:04
  including
• 2:04
  151
• 2:06
  in
• 2:06
  their
• 2:06
  last
• 2:07
  16
• 2:07
  after
• 2:07
  losing
• 2:08
  two
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  row
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  Atlanta.
• 2:10
  A
• 2:10
  plus
• 2:11
  minus,
• 2:12
  arguably
• 2:12
  one
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  best
• 2:13
  in
• 2:14
  the
• 2:15
  NBA
• 2:15
  playoffs.
• 2:17
  When
• 2:17
  you
• 2:17
  watched
• 2:18
  that
• 2:18
  team,
• 2:18
  was
• 2:19
  it
• 2:19
  something
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  you
• 2:19
  saw
• 2:20
  early
• 2:20
  on,
• 2:20
  like
• 2:21
  this
• 2:21
  is
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  team
• 2:21
  that
• 2:21
  can
• 2:21
  get
• 2:22
  there?
• 2:22
  Well,
• 2:23
  I'll
• 2:23
  tell
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  this.
• 2:24
  I,
• 2:25
  as
• 2:25
  I
• 2:25
  we
• 2:26
  talked
• 2:26
  about
• 2:26
  before
• 2:26
  the
• 2:27
  show,
• 2:28
  I'm
• 2:28
  always
• 2:28
  glass
• 2:29
  half
• 2:29
  full.
• 2:29
  I'm
• 2:29
  always
• 2:29
  an
• 2:30
  optimistic
• 2:30
  person.
• 2:31
  But
• 2:32
  even
• 2:33
  me,
• 2:34
  with
• 2:34
  the
• 2:35
  Game
• 2:35
  3
• 2:36
  loss
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  Atlanta
• 2:38
  There
• 2:38
  was
• 2:38
  a
• 2:38
  little
• 2:38
  concern
• 2:39
  that
• 2:39
  was
• 2:40
  setting
• 2:40
  in.
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  remember
• 2:41
  being
• 2:41
  outside
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  Garden
• 2:42
  because
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  went
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  watch
• 2:43
  party
• 2:44
  that
• 2:44
  night.
• 2:45
  They
• 2:45
  had
• 2:45
  lost
• 2:45
  on
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  road.
• 2:47
  And
• 2:47
  you're
• 2:47
  thinking
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  yourself,
• 2:48
  are
• 2:48
  we
• 2:48
  really
• 2:49
  going
• 2:49
  out
• 2:49
  Sad.
• 2:50
  Are
• 2:50
  we
• 2:50
  really
• 2:51
  going
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  lose
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  the.
• 2:52
  The.
• 2:53
  I
• 2:53
  want
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  say
• 2:53
  inexperienced
• 2:54
  Atlanta
• 2:54
  Hawks?
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  want
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  shout
• 2:55
  out
• 2:55
  McCollum,
• 2:56
  who
• 2:56
  sparked
• 2:57
  that
• 2:57
  run
• 2:57
  for
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  Knicks.
• 2:58
  And
• 2:58
  I
• 2:58
  think
• 2:58
  if
• 2:59
  they
• 2:59
  didn't
• 2:59
  lose
• 2:59
  those
• 2:59
  two
• 3:00
  games
• 3:00
  by
• 3:00
  one
• 3:00
  in
• 3:00
  that
• 3:00
  fashion,
• 3:01
  we
• 3:01
  might
• 3:02
  not
• 3:02
  be
• 3:02
  having
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  conversation
• 3:03
  that
• 3:03
  we're
• 3:03
  having
• 3:04
  today.
• 3:04
  But
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  adjustments
• 3:05
  that
• 3:06
  were
• 3:06
  made,
• 3:07
  and
• 3:07
  I
• 3:07
  want
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  shout
• 3:08
  out
• 3:08
  Cat
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  collaboration
• 3:09
  with
• 3:10
  Brown
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  that
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  stuff
• 3:12
  that
• 3:12
  went
• 3:12
  down
• 3:12
  and
• 3:13
  all
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  things
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  they
• 3:13
  talk
• 3:13
  about
• 3:14
  now
• 3:15
  where,
• 3:15
  hey,
• 3:16
  let
• 3:16
  me
• 3:16
  play
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  little
• 3:17
  point
• 3:17
  forward,
• 3:17
  let
• 3:18
  me
• 3:18
  get
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  little
• 3:18
  bit
• 3:18
  more
• 3:18
  comfortable
• 3:19
  in
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  offense.
• 3:20
  And
• 3:21
  they
• 3:21
  just
• 3:21
  started
• 3:21
  blitzing
• 3:22
  people.
• 3:22
  You
• 3:23
  know,
• 3:23
  it
• 3:23
  went
• 3:23
  from,
• 3:24
  I
• 3:24
  don't
• 3:25
  know
• 3:25
  if
• 3:25
  we're
• 3:25
  going
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  survive
• 3:25
  this
• 3:26
  first
• 3:26
  round
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  I
• 3:26
  don't
• 3:26
  know
• 3:27
  if
• 3:27
  we're
• 3:27
  going
• 3:27
  to
• 3:27
  lose
• 3:27
  again.
• 3:27
  That's
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  pretty
• 3:28
  dramatic
• 3:29
  turn
• 3:29
  of
• 3:30
  events
• 3:30
  there.
• 3:30
  And
• 3:30
  again,
• 3:30
  shout
• 3:31
  out
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  Towns,
• 3:32
  because
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  think
• 3:32
  him
• 3:33
  being
• 3:33
  able
• 3:33
  to,
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:34
  he
• 3:34
  had
• 3:35
  those
• 3:35
  triple
• 3:35
  doubles
• 3:36
  and
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  vision
• 3:37
  and
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  way
• 3:38
  he
• 3:38
  opened
• 3:38
  up
• 3:38
  their
• 3:39
  offense
• 3:39
  and
• 3:40
  everybody
• 3:40
  kind
• 3:40
  of
• 3:41
  just
• 3:41
  fell
• 3:41
  into
• 3:41
  place
• 3:41
  after
• 3:42
  that.
• 3:42
  Right?
• 3:42
  It
• 3:42
  just,
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  know,
• 3:43
  they
• 3:44
  played
• 3:44
  at
• 3:44
  their
• 3:44
  highest
• 3:45
  level
• 3:45
  possible
• 3:46
  after
• 3:46
  losing
• 3:47
  two
• 3:47
  crushing
• 3:48
  games
• 3:48
  in
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  row
• 3:49
  where
• 3:49
  it
• 3:49
  was
• 3:49
  like,
• 3:50
  emotional.
• 3:50
  In
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  Knicks
• 3:51
  locker,
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  remember
• 3:51
  a
• 3:52
  couple
• 3:52
  beat
• 3:52
  reporters
• 3:53
  saying
• 3:53
  that,
• 3:53
  like,
• 3:54
  wow,
• 3:54
  this
• 3:54
  Knick
• 3:54
  team
• 3:55
  is
• 3:55
  dejected.
• 3:56
  How
• 3:56
  are
• 3:56
  they
• 3:56
  going
• 3:56
  to
• 3:56
  respond?
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  I
• 3:57
  also
• 3:57
  want
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  point
• 3:58
  to
• 3:59
  a
• 3:59
  time
• 3:59
  in
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  season
• 4:00
  where
• 4:00
  they
• 4:00
  went
• 4:00
  2
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  9.
• 4:01
  I
• 4:01
  don't
• 4:01
  know
• 4:01
  if
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  recall
• 4:02
  that.
• 4:02
  And
• 4:03
  everybody
• 4:03
  was
• 4:04
  calling
• 4:04
  for
• 4:04
  Mike
• 4:04
  Brown's
• 4:05
  head.
• 4:05
  If
• 4:05
  they
• 4:05
  lose
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  the
• 4:06
  Nets
• 4:07
  during
• 4:07
  that
• 4:08
  stretch,
• 4:08
  could
• 4:08
  it
• 4:08
  be
• 4:08
  over
• 4:09
  for
• 4:09
  them?
• 4:10
  And
• 4:10
  they
• 4:10
  responded
• 4:10
  with
• 4:11
  eight
• 4:11
  straight
• 4:11
  wins
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  they
• 4:12
  righted
• 4:12
  the
• 4:13
  ship.
• 4:13
  And
• 4:14
  so
• 4:14
  that's
• 4:14
  kind
• 4:14
  of
• 4:14
  how
• 4:14
  I'm
• 4:15
  always
• 4:15
  going
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  remember
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  refer
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  this
• 4:17
  team
• 4:17
  as.
• 4:18
  No
• 4:18
  matter
• 4:18
  what
• 4:18
  situation
• 4:19
  they
• 4:19
  get
• 4:19
  in,
• 4:20
  no
• 4:20
  matter
• 4:20
  if
• 4:21
  it's
• 4:21
  backs
• 4:21
  against
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  wall,
• 4:22
  what
• 4:22
  adversity,
• 4:22
  down
• 4:23
  29,
• 4:23
  whatever
• 4:24
  it
• 4:24
  is,
• 4:24
  they're
• 4:25
  going
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  right
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  ship.
• 4:25
  They're
• 4:25
  going
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  figure
• 4:26
  it
• 4:26
  out.
• 4:26
  And
• 4:27
  to
• 4:28
  that
• 4:28
  Cat
• 4:28
  point,
• 4:30
  I
• 4:30
  remember
• 4:30
  one
• 4:30
  of
• 4:31
  the
• 4:31
  criticisms
• 4:32
  last
• 4:32
  year
• 4:32
  of
• 4:32
  him
• 4:32
  was
• 4:33
  that
• 4:33
  he
• 4:33
  would
• 4:34
  occasionally
• 4:34
  disappear
• 4:35
  games.
• 4:36
  And
• 4:36
  we
• 4:37
  saw
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  very
• 4:37
  different
• 4:38
  version
• 4:38
  of
• 4:39
  Towns
• 4:40
  this
• 4:40
  year
• 4:40
  in
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  playoffs
• 4:41
  where
• 4:41
  he,
• 4:41
  like
• 4:41
  you
• 4:42
  said,
• 4:42
  he
• 4:42
  was
• 4:43
  more
• 4:43
  running
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  ball
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  things
• 4:45
  are
• 4:45
  running
• 4:46
  through
• 4:46
  him
• 4:46
  more
• 4:46
  so
• 4:46
  than
• 4:47
  Brunson.
• 4:48
  And
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  think
• 4:48
  that's
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  really
• 4:49
  good
• 4:50
  leadership
• 4:50
  quality
• 4:51
  that,
• 4:52
  you
• 4:52
  know,
• 4:52
  he
• 4:52
  went
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  Mike
• 4:54
  Brown
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  Said,
• 4:54
  hey,
• 4:54
  let's,
• 4:55
  let's
• 4:55
  try
• 4:55
  this
• 4:56
  out.
• 4:56
  Definitely.
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  mean,
• 4:57
  he
• 4:58
  showed
• 4:59
  some
• 4:59
  great
• 4:59
  leadership
• 5:00
  qualities
• 5:00
  to
• 5:01
  second
• 5:01
  your
• 5:02
  point,
• 5:02
  but
• 5:03
  also
• 5:03
  something
• 5:03
  that
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  don't
• 5:04
  want
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  get
• 5:04
  lost
• 5:04
  in
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  shuffle
• 5:05
  here
• 5:06
  is
• 5:06
  Towns's
• 5:07
  defense.
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  know
• 5:07
  he
• 5:08
  fouled
• 5:08
  out
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  the
• 5:09
  closing
• 5:10
  game,
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  clincher,
• 5:11
  but
• 5:12
  I
• 5:12
  thought
• 5:13
  there
• 5:13
  were
• 5:13
  many
• 5:13
  times
• 5:14
  there
• 5:14
  were
• 5:14
  blocks
• 5:15
  that
• 5:15
  he
• 5:15
  had
• 5:16
  where
• 5:16
  he's
• 5:16
  walling
• 5:17
  up,
• 5:17
  he's
• 5:18
  denying
• 5:18
  people
• 5:18
  at
• 5:19
  the
• 5:19
  rim,
• 5:20
  and
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  just
• 5:20
  thought
• 5:21
  it
• 5:21
  kind
• 5:21
  of
• 5:21
  clicked
• 5:22
  there
• 5:22
  at
• 5:22
  some
• 5:22
  point
• 5:23
  where
• 5:23
  he
• 5:23
  got
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  lot
• 5:23
  more
• 5:24
  comfortable.
• 5:24
  I
• 5:25
  remember
• 5:25
  last
• 5:25
  year
• 5:25
  when
• 5:26
  they
• 5:26
  were
• 5:26
  eliminated.
• 5:26
  The
• 5:27
  vision
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  have
• 5:27
  in
• 5:27
  my
• 5:28
  mind,
• 5:28
  his
• 5:28
  Towns
• 5:29
  backing
• 5:29
  up
• 5:29
  into
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  middle
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  paint
• 5:31
  as
• 5:31
  they
• 5:31
  had
• 5:31
  trouble
• 5:32
  guarding
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  high
• 5:32
  pick
• 5:33
  and
• 5:33
  roll
• 5:33
  and
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  Pacers
• 5:34
  are
• 5:34
  shooting
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  lights
• 5:35
  out.
• 5:36
  And
• 5:36
  this
• 5:36
  year,
• 5:36
  as
• 5:37
  much
• 5:37
  as
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  passing
• 5:38
  was
• 5:38
  great
• 5:39
  and
• 5:39
  he
• 5:39
  attacked
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  rim
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  wasn't
• 5:40
  afraid
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  be
• 5:41
  aggressive,
• 5:42
  I
• 5:42
  think
• 5:43
  about
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  defense,
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  think
• 5:44
  about
• 5:44
  his
• 5:45
  hands,
• 5:45
  I
• 5:45
  think
• 5:45
  about,
• 5:46
  you
• 5:46
  know,
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  plays
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  he
• 5:47
  was
• 5:47
  able
• 5:48
  to
• 5:48
  make
• 5:48
  to
• 5:49
  jumpstart
• 5:49
  them
• 5:49
  in
• 5:50
  transition.
• 5:50
  So
• 5:51
  I
• 5:51
  didn't
• 5:51
  think
• 5:51
  I'd
• 5:52
  ever
• 5:52
  say
• 5:52
  this,
• 5:52
  but
• 5:52
  there
• 5:52
  were
• 5:53
  times
• 5:53
  where
• 5:53
  he
• 5:53
  was
• 5:53
  an
• 5:53
  elite
• 5:54
  rim
• 5:54
  protector.
• 5:55
  Usually
• 5:55
  you
• 5:56
  reserve
• 5:56
  those
• 5:57
  compliments
• 5:57
  for
• 5:57
  Robinson
• 5:58
  and
• 5:59
  I
• 5:59
  thought
• 5:59
  Towns
• 6:00
  was
• 6:00
  just
• 6:00
  great
• 6:01
  on
• 6:01
  that
• 6:01
  end
• 6:01
  and
• 6:02
  everybody
• 6:02
  defensively,
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  mean,
• 6:04
  there
• 6:04
  were
• 6:04
  times,
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  it
• 6:05
  started
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  that,
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  end
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  Atlanta
• 6:06
  series
• 6:06
  where,
• 6:07
  wow,
• 6:07
  this
• 6:07
  is
• 6:08
  swarming
• 6:09
  championship
• 6:10
  level
• 6:10
  defense
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  Knicks
• 6:11
  are
• 6:12
  playing.
• 6:12
  And
• 6:12
  Carl
• 6:13
  had
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  role
• 6:13
  in
• 6:13
  that.
• 6:14
  Yeah,
• 6:14
  I
• 6:15
  remember
• 6:15
  watching,
• 6:15
  I
• 6:16
  think
• 6:16
  it
• 6:16
  was
• 6:16
  game
• 6:16
  four
• 6:17
  against,
• 6:18
  or
• 6:18
  game
• 6:18
  five
• 6:19
  against
• 6:19
  Atlanta
• 6:20
  and
• 6:21
  it
• 6:21
  was
• 6:21
  just
• 6:21
  like
• 6:22
  one,
• 6:22
  it
• 6:22
  was
• 6:22
  just
• 6:22
  one
• 6:22
  after
• 6:23
  another,
• 6:23
  just
• 6:24
  steal
• 6:24
  score,
• 6:24
  steal
• 6:25
  score,
• 6:25
  steal
• 6:25
  score.
• 6:26
  And
• 6:27
  this
• 6:27
  is
• 6:27
  not
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  same
• 6:28
  team
• 6:28
  that
• 6:29
  we
• 6:29
  saw
• 6:30
  four
• 6:30
  days
• 6:30
  ago
• 6:32
  lose
• 6:33
  that,
• 6:33
  lose
• 6:33
  that,
• 6:33
  game
• 6:34
  three
• 6:34
  and
• 6:35
  they
• 6:35
  just,
• 6:35
  and
• 6:36
  then,
• 6:36
  then
• 6:36
  they
• 6:36
  just
• 6:37
  kept
• 6:37
  it
• 6:37
  going
• 6:37
  and
• 6:38
  continue
• 6:38
  to
• 6:39
  play
• 6:39
  that
• 6:39
  hard
• 6:39
  nosed
• 6:40
  basketball
• 6:40
  that
• 6:41
  like,
• 6:42
  I'm
• 6:42
  a
• 6:42
  hockey
• 6:43
  guy.
• 6:43
  So
• 6:43
  this
• 6:43
  kind
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  would
• 6:44
  kind
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  remind
• 6:44
  me
• 6:45
  when
• 6:45
  John
• 6:45
  Tortorello
• 6:46
  was
• 6:46
  coaching
• 6:46
  the
• 6:47
  New
• 6:47
  York
• 6:47
  Rangers
• 6:47
  back
• 6:47
  in
• 6:48
  like
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  early
• 6:48
  2010s
• 6:49
  and
• 6:50
  they
• 6:50
  called
• 6:51
  them
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  black
• 6:51
  and
• 6:51
  blue
• 6:51
  shirts
• 6:52
  because
• 6:52
  they
• 6:53
  were
• 6:53
  always
• 6:53
  block
• 6:54
  shots,
• 6:54
  they
• 6:55
  would
• 6:55
  be
• 6:55
  playing
• 6:55
  very
• 6:56
  tough
• 6:56
  defensively.
• 6:56
  They
• 6:57
  would
• 6:57
  only
• 6:57
  score
• 6:57
  like
• 6:57
  one
• 6:58
  goal
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  game.
• 6:58
  So
• 6:59
  that's
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  little
• 6:59
  different
• 7:00
  than
• 7:00
  this
• 7:00
  Knicks
• 7:01
  team
• 7:01
  that
• 7:01
  was
• 7:01
  scoring
• 7:01
  125
• 7:02
  points
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  game
• 7:03
  in
• 7:04
  the
• 7:04
  playoffs.
• 7:05
  But
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  was
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  team
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  would
• 7:06
  do
• 7:07
  all
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  like
• 7:07
  nitty
• 7:08
  gritty
• 7:08
  work
• 7:08
  that,
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  know,
• 7:10
  lunch
• 7:10
  pail,
• 7:11
  blue
• 7:11
  collar
• 7:11
  kind
• 7:11
  of
• 7:12
  kind
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  team
• 7:13
  that
• 7:14
  I
• 7:14
  think
• 7:14
  really
• 7:14
  resonates
• 7:15
  with
• 7:15
  New
• 7:16
  Yorkers.
• 7:16
  Absolutely.
• 7:17
  There's
• 7:17
  no
• 7:17
  doubt
• 7:18
  about
• 7:18
  it.
• 7:18
  And
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  know,
• 7:19
  obviously
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  start
• 7:20
  when
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  think
• 7:21
  about
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  Knicks
• 7:22
  Defense,
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  talk
• 7:23
  about
• 7:24
  an
• 7:24
  anobi
• 7:25
  at
• 7:25
  first,
• 7:25
  but
• 7:26
  because
• 7:26
  of
• 7:26
  his
• 7:26
  versatility.
• 7:28
  But
• 7:28
  to
• 7:28
  me
• 7:28
  it
• 7:28
  was
• 7:29
  guys
• 7:29
  like
• 7:29
  Bridges
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  Hart,
• 7:31
  they
• 7:31
  took
• 7:32
  their
• 7:32
  perimeter
• 7:32
  defense
• 7:33
  and
• 7:34
  their
• 7:34
  intensity
• 7:35
  and
• 7:35
  once
• 7:36
  they
• 7:36
  made
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  adjustment
• 7:37
  on
• 7:37
  Hart,
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  know
• 7:37
  we're
• 7:38
  talking
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  lot
• 7:38
  about
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  first
• 7:38
  round.
• 7:39
  We'll
• 7:39
  chronicle
• 7:39
  the
• 7:40
  playoffs
• 7:40
  as
• 7:41
  we
• 7:41
  go
• 7:41
  here.
• 7:42
  But
• 7:42
  again,
• 7:42
  something
• 7:42
  that
• 7:43
  comes
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  mind
• 7:43
  in
• 7:43
  that
• 7:44
  Atlanta
• 7:44
  series,
• 7:44
  it
• 7:44
  feels
• 7:45
  like
• 7:45
  five
• 7:45
  months
• 7:45
  ago,
• 7:45
  by
• 7:45
  the
• 7:46
  way,
• 7:47
  is
• 7:47
  hard
• 7:48
  saying,
• 7:48
  you
• 7:48
  know
• 7:48
  what,
• 7:48
  C.J.
• 7:49
  McComb's
• 7:49
  not
• 7:49
  beating
• 7:50
  us
• 7:50
  anymore.
• 7:50
  You
• 7:51
  know,
• 7:51
  I'm
• 7:51
  taking
• 7:52
  this
• 7:52
  match
• 7:52
  up
• 7:52
  personally.
• 7:53
  He's
• 7:54
  came
• 7:54
  out
• 7:54
  here,
• 7:55
  you
• 7:55
  know,
• 7:55
  he's
• 7:55
  toyed
• 7:56
  with
• 7:56
  us.
• 7:56
  He
• 7:56
  stole
• 7:56
  game
• 7:56
  two
• 7:57
  at
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  Garden,
• 7:57
  then
• 7:58
  he
• 7:58
  has
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  game
• 7:58
  winning
• 7:59
  shot
• 7:59
  in
• 7:59
  game
• 7:59
  three.
• 8:00
  I'm
• 8:00
  taking
• 8:00
  it,
• 8:00
  I'm
• 8:01
  taking
• 8:01
  this
• 8:01
  match
• 8:01
  up
• 8:02
  personally
• 8:02
  and
• 8:03
  I'm
• 8:03
  not
• 8:03
  letting
• 8:03
  this
• 8:03
  loose.
• 8:04
  And
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  saw
• 8:05
  a
• 8:05
  lot
• 8:05
  of
• 8:05
  that
• 8:05
  and
• 8:05
  that,
• 8:06
  that
• 8:06
  became
• 8:07
  contagious
• 8:07
  for
• 8:08
  everybody.
• 8:08
  And
• 8:09
  again,
• 8:09
  we
• 8:09
  could
• 8:10
  talk
• 8:10
  about
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  offense
• 8:10
  till
• 8:11
  we're
• 8:11
  blue
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  face.
• 8:12
  Not
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  be
• 8:12
  cliche,
• 8:13
  but
• 8:13
  we
• 8:13
  know
• 8:13
  we
• 8:13
  have
• 8:13
  to
• 8:14
  get
• 8:14
  stops
• 8:15
  down
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  stretch
• 8:15
  of
• 8:16
  games.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:17
  what
• 8:18
  happened
• 8:18
  to
• 8:19
  this
• 8:19
  team
• 8:19
  as
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  light
• 8:19
  bulb
• 8:20
  went
• 8:20
  off
• 8:20
  was
• 8:21
  unbelievable
• 8:21
  to
• 8:22
  watch.
• 8:22
  Yeah,
• 8:22
  we're
• 8:22
  talking
• 8:23
  with
• 8:23
  Harris
• 8:23
  Burchard
• 8:23
  from
• 8:24
  Knickerbocker
• 8:24
  Banner.
• 8:25
  And
• 8:25
  you
• 8:25
  were
• 8:25
  in,
• 8:25
  you
• 8:26
  were
• 8:26
  in
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  building
• 8:26
  for
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  lot
• 8:27
  of
• 8:27
  this
• 8:27
  run
• 8:27
  like
• 8:29
  every
• 8:29
  other
• 8:29
  night
• 8:29
  on
• 8:30
  Instagram.
• 8:30
  Like
• 8:30
  I've
• 8:31
  seen
• 8:31
  you,
• 8:31
  I'm
• 8:31
  seeing
• 8:31
  you
• 8:31
  walk
• 8:31
  into
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  garden
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  I'm
• 8:32
  like
• 8:34
  kind
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  jealous.
• 8:35
  Like
• 8:36
  this
• 8:36
  look
• 8:36
  looked
• 8:36
  like
• 8:37
  just
• 8:38
  watching
• 8:38
  it
• 8:38
  on
• 8:38
  tv,
• 8:38
  it
• 8:39
  looked
• 8:39
  like
• 8:39
  it
• 8:39
  was
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  lot
• 8:40
  of
• 8:40
  fun
• 8:41
  regardless,
• 8:42
  win
• 8:42
  or
• 8:42
  lose,
• 8:42
  like
• 8:43
  obviously
• 8:43
  winning
• 8:44
  better
• 8:45
  but
• 8:45
  like
• 8:45
  either
• 8:46
  way
• 8:46
  it's
• 8:46
  just
• 8:46
  like
• 8:46
  it
• 8:46
  looked
• 8:47
  just
• 8:47
  fun
• 8:47
  to
• 8:48
  be
• 8:48
  in
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  building
• 8:49
  for
• 8:49
  a
• 8:50
  lot
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  that.
• 8:50
  Well
• 8:51
  blessed.
• 8:51
  I
• 8:52
  mean
• 8:52
  I
• 8:52
  want
• 8:52
  to
• 8:52
  also
• 8:53
  shout
• 8:53
  out
• 8:54
  my
• 8:54
  brother
• 8:54
  in
• 8:55
  law
• 8:55
  George
• 8:55
  because
• 8:55
  he's
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  season
• 8:56
  ticket
• 8:56
  holder
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  if
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  went
• 8:58
  on
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  second
• 8:58
  market
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  wouldn't
• 9:00
  be
• 9:00
  able
• 9:00
  to
• 9:00
  pay
• 9:00
  my
• 9:00
  rent
• 9:01
  at
• 9:01
  all.
• 9:02
  So
• 9:03
  shout
• 9:03
  out
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  him
• 9:03
  for
• 9:05
  taking
• 9:05
  me
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  some
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  these
• 9:06
  games
• 9:06
  and
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  family
• 9:07
  discount,
• 9:08
  etc.
• 9:09
  So
• 9:09
  I
• 9:10
  went
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  five
• 9:10
  in
• 9:10
  total
• 9:11
  of
• 9:11
  the
• 9:12
  19,
• 9:12
  which
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  pretty
• 9:13
  outstanding.
• 9:14
  And
• 9:15
  my
• 9:15
  favorite
• 9:16
  experience
• 9:16
  was
• 9:17
  being
• 9:17
  with
• 9:17
  my
• 9:17
  family
• 9:19
  on
• 9:19
  Mother's
• 9:20
  Day.
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  mean
• 9:20
  there
• 9:20
  were
• 9:20
  better
• 9:21
  games
• 9:21
  than
• 9:21
  beating
• 9:21
  the
• 9:22
  Sixers
• 9:22
  by
• 9:22
  40,
• 9:23
  but
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  look
• 9:24
  over
• 9:24
  and
• 9:24
  see
• 9:24
  my
• 9:24
  dad
• 9:25
  sitting
• 9:26
  with
• 9:26
  my
• 9:26
  nephews
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  the
• 9:28
  generations
• 9:29
  of
• 9:29
  our
• 9:29
  family
• 9:30
  and
• 9:30
  also
• 9:31
  my
• 9:31
  mom
• 9:32
  being
• 9:32
  with
• 9:32
  us
• 9:32
  on
• 9:33
  Mother's
• 9:33
  Day,
• 9:33
  that
• 9:33
  was
• 9:33
  a
• 9:33
  non
• 9:34
  negotiable
• 9:34
  as
• 9:34
  well.
• 9:34
  She
• 9:35
  was
• 9:35
  coming
• 9:35
  and
• 9:36
  that
• 9:36
  building
• 9:36
  was
• 9:36
  80%
• 9:38
  nick
• 9:38
  fan.
• 9:39
  So
• 9:40
  the
• 9:40
  Sixers
• 9:41
  had
• 9:41
  quit.
• 9:42
  It
• 9:42
  was
• 9:42
  a
• 9:42
  celebration
• 9:43
  right
• 9:43
  from
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  opening
• 9:44
  tip
• 9:44
  as
• 9:44
  The
• 9:44
  Knicks
• 9:44
  made
• 9:45
  18
• 9:45
  threes,
• 9:45
  if
• 9:46
  you
• 9:46
  remember
• 9:46
  that.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:48
  it
• 9:48
  was
• 9:48
  incredible
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  watch.
• 9:50
  And
• 9:50
  obviously
• 9:51
  we'll
• 9:51
  get
• 9:51
  to
• 9:51
  the
• 9:52
  other
• 9:52
  couple
• 9:52
  of
• 9:52
  exciting
• 9:53
  ones
• 9:53
  that
• 9:53
  I
• 9:53
  was
• 9:53
  in
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  building
• 9:54
  for.
• 9:54
  But
• 9:55
  again,
• 9:56
  this
• 9:56
  run,
• 9:57
  this
• 9:58
  team
• 9:58
  to
• 9:58
  win
• 9:58
  nine
• 9:59
  straight
• 9:59
  on
• 9:59
  the
• 9:59
  road.
• 10:00
  You
• 10:00
  mentioned
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  15
• 10:01
  out
• 10:01
  of
• 10:01
  16,
• 10:02
  the
• 10:03
  dominating
• 10:03
  fashion
• 10:04
  to
• 10:04
  sweep
• 10:04
  two
• 10:04
  series
• 10:05
  in
• 10:05
  a
• 10:05
  row
• 10:05
  and
• 10:05
  then
• 10:06
  win
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  first
• 10:06
  two
• 10:06
  games
• 10:06
  in
• 10:06
  the
• 10:07
  NBA
• 10:07
  Finals.
• 10:08
  I'm
• 10:08
  not
• 10:08
  sure
• 10:09
  we're
• 10:09
  ever
• 10:09
  going
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  see
• 10:10
  something
• 10:10
  like
• 10:10
  this
• 10:10
  ever
• 10:11
  again.
• 10:12
  It'd
• 10:12
  be
• 10:12
  very
• 10:12
  hard
• 10:13
  pressed.
• 10:13
  Like
• 10:13
  a
• 10:14
  team
• 10:14
  would
• 10:14
  have
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  go
• 10:14
  160
• 10:15
  to
• 10:16
  like,
• 10:17
  I
• 10:17
  don't
• 10:17
  even
• 10:17
  want
• 10:17
  to
• 10:18
  say
• 10:18
  come
• 10:18
  close
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  that
• 10:18
  because
• 10:19
  you
• 10:19
  know,
• 10:19
  it
• 10:20
  depends
• 10:20
  on
• 10:20
  how
• 10:20
  things
• 10:21
  go.
• 10:21
  But
• 10:22
  like
• 10:22
  to
• 10:22
  your
• 10:23
  point,
• 10:23
  watching
• 10:23
  that,
• 10:24
  watching
• 10:24
  that
• 10:24
  game
• 10:24
  against
• 10:25
  Philadelphia
• 10:26
  and
• 10:27
  like,
• 10:27
  you
• 10:27
  know,
• 10:27
  we're
• 10:28
  New
• 10:28
  Yorkers,
• 10:28
  like
• 10:29
  Philly
• 10:29
  sports,
• 10:30
  they
• 10:30
  all
• 10:30
  suck.
• 10:30
  We,
• 10:31
  we
• 10:31
  don't
• 10:31
  like
• 10:31
  them.
• 10:31
  So
• 10:32
  like
• 10:32
  there's
• 10:33
  like,
• 10:33
  like
• 10:34
  there
• 10:34
  was
• 10:34
  that
• 10:34
  kind
• 10:34
  of
• 10:35
  cathartic
• 10:35
  feeling
• 10:35
  to
• 10:36
  just
• 10:37
  watching
• 10:37
  the
• 10:37
  Sixers
• 10:38
  get
• 10:38
  dog
• 10:38
  walked
• 10:38
  for
• 10:39
  a
• 10:39
  week
• 10:39
  straight
• 10:40
  and
• 10:41
  watching
• 10:42
  them
• 10:42
  just
• 10:42
  give
• 10:42
  up
• 10:43
  in
• 10:43
  real
• 10:43
  time.
• 10:44
  And
• 10:45
  like
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  said,
• 10:46
  looking
• 10:46
  at
• 10:47
  the,
• 10:47
  looking
• 10:47
  at
• 10:48
  what?
• 10:48
  Whatever
• 10:49
  they
• 10:49
  call.
• 10:49
  I
• 10:49
  think,
• 10:49
  I
• 10:49
  don't
• 10:49
  know
• 10:50
  if
• 10:50
  it's
• 10:50
  still
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  Wells
• 10:50
  Fargo
• 10:50
  center
• 10:51
  or
• 10:51
  not.
• 10:52
  See,
• 10:52
  hearing
• 10:52
  they're
• 10:53
  all
• 10:53
  in
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  same
• 10:53
  area,
• 10:53
  you
• 10:54
  know,
• 10:54
  it
• 10:55
  would
• 10:55
  never
• 10:55
  happen
• 10:55
  in
• 10:55
  New
• 10:55
  York.
• 10:55
  All
• 10:56
  their
• 10:56
  arenas
• 10:57
  are
• 10:57
  in
• 10:57
  the
• 10:57
  same
• 10:58
  vicinity
• 10:58
  of
• 10:58
  each
• 10:58
  other.
• 10:59
  It's
• 10:59
  actually
• 10:59
  really
• 10:59
  cool.
• 11:00
  Like
• 11:00
  years
• 11:00
  ago
• 11:01
  I
• 11:01
  went
• 11:01
  to
• 11:01
  a
• 11:01
  Phillies
• 11:02
  game
• 11:02
  like
• 11:02
  looking
• 11:02
  like
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  link
• 11:03
  is
• 11:03
  right
• 11:03
  there.
• 11:04
  I
• 11:04
  think
• 11:04
  it
• 11:05
  was
• 11:05
  still
• 11:05
  the,
• 11:05
  maybe
• 11:05
  the
• 11:06
  Wachovia
• 11:06
  center
• 11:06
  at
• 11:06
  that
• 11:07
  point.
• 11:07
  And
• 11:07
  like
• 11:08
  they're
• 11:08
  all,
• 11:08
  all
• 11:09
  in
• 11:09
  that
• 11:09
  same
• 11:09
  area
• 11:10
  and
• 11:10
  it's
• 11:10
  like,
• 11:10
  oh,
• 11:10
  like
• 11:10
  that's
• 11:10
  actually
• 11:11
  like
• 11:11
  kind
• 11:11
  of
• 11:12
  smart.
• 11:12
  But
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  know,
• 11:14
  watching
• 11:15
  the
• 11:15
  Knicks
• 11:15
  take,
• 11:15
  Knicks
• 11:16
  fans
• 11:16
  take
• 11:16
  over
• 11:17
  that,
• 11:17
  it's
• 11:17
  like
• 11:18
  that's
• 11:19
  really
• 11:19
  cool
• 11:19
  to
• 11:19
  see
• 11:20
  because
• 11:20
  that
• 11:20
  like
• 11:21
  that's
• 11:21
  something
• 11:21
  that
• 11:21
  if
• 11:21
  you
• 11:22
  told
• 11:22
  Knicks
• 11:22
  fan
• 11:22
  that
• 11:23
  10
• 11:23
  years
• 11:23
  ago,
• 11:23
  they'd
• 11:24
  probably
• 11:24
  be
• 11:24
  like,
• 11:24
  yeah,
• 11:24
  yeah,
• 11:25
  sure,
• 11:25
  that's
• 11:25
  not
• 11:25
  happening.
• 11:26
  And
• 11:26
  I
• 11:26
  want
• 11:27
  to,
• 11:27
  I
• 11:27
  want
• 11:27
  to
• 11:27
  talk
• 11:27
  about
• 11:27
  the
• 11:28
  fans.
• 11:28
  I'm
• 11:28
  glad
• 11:28
  you
• 11:28
  brought
• 11:29
  that
• 11:29
  up
• 11:30
  because
• 11:30
  another
• 11:30
  thing
• 11:31
  of
• 11:31
  note
• 11:32
  during
• 11:32
  this
• 11:33
  run
• 11:33
  was
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  traveling
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  fans
• 11:35
  did
• 11:36
  and
• 11:36
  their
• 11:36
  ability
• 11:37
  to
• 11:37
  take
• 11:37
  over
• 11:37
  arenas,
• 11:39
  whether
• 11:39
  that
• 11:40
  was
• 11:40
  Philadelphia,
• 11:41
  Cleveland
• 11:41
  and
• 11:41
  then
• 11:41
  San
• 11:42
  Antonio
• 11:42
  in
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  finals
• 11:44
  as
• 11:44
  Nick
• 11:44
  fans
• 11:44
  sense
• 11:45
  something
• 11:45
  special
• 11:46
  here.
• 11:47
  They
• 11:47
  were
• 11:47
  on
• 11:47
  StubHub,
• 11:48
  Ticketmaster,
• 11:49
  and
• 11:49
  then
• 11:49
  you
• 11:49
  hear
• 11:50
  things
• 11:50
  that
• 11:50
  are
• 11:50
  coming
• 11:50
  out.
• 11:51
  What
• 11:51
  other
• 11:51
  fan
• 11:52
  base
• 11:52
  is
• 11:52
  forcing,
• 11:53
  whether
• 11:53
  it's
• 11:53
  ownership
• 11:54
  to
• 11:55
  say,
• 11:55
  hey,
• 11:55
  we're
• 11:55
  limiting
• 11:56
  this
• 11:56
  or
• 11:56
  some
• 11:57
  of
• 11:57
  these
• 11:57
  things
• 11:57
  that
• 11:57
  came
• 11:57
  out.
• 11:57
  I'm
• 11:58
  like,
• 11:58
  is
• 11:58
  that
• 11:58
  legal?
• 11:58
  I
• 11:58
  just
• 11:59
  saw,
• 11:59
  I
• 11:59
  saw
• 11:59
  some
• 11:59
  things
• 11:59
  I
• 12:00
  didn't
• 12:00
  know
• 12:00
  if
• 12:00
  it
• 12:00
  was
• 12:00
  real,
• 12:00
  AI.
• 12:01
  You
• 12:01
  never
• 12:01
  know
• 12:01
  what's
• 12:01
  real
• 12:01
  today.
• 12:02
  So
• 12:03
  I'm
• 12:03
  like,
• 12:03
  hey,
• 12:03
  you
• 12:03
  could
• 12:04
  limit
• 12:04
  people
• 12:04
  if
• 12:04
  you
• 12:04
  want.
• 12:05
  You
• 12:05
  could
• 12:05
  try
• 12:05
  whatever
• 12:05
  you're
• 12:06
  going
• 12:06
  to
• 12:06
  try
• 12:06
  to
• 12:06
  do.
• 12:06
  Nick
• 12:07
  fans
• 12:07
  are
• 12:07
  going
• 12:07
  to
• 12:07
  show
• 12:07
  up
• 12:08
  in
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  groves,
• 12:08
  especially
• 12:09
  if
• 12:09
  they
• 12:09
  sense
• 12:10
  a
• 12:10
  title
• 12:10
  coming.
• 12:11
  And
• 12:11
  that's
• 12:11
  what
• 12:11
  everybody
• 12:11
  got
• 12:12
  the
• 12:12
  idea.
• 12:12
  Hey,
• 12:12
  this
• 12:12
  is
• 12:13
  not
• 12:13
  just
• 12:14
  another
• 12:14
  run.
• 12:15
  This
• 12:15
  is
• 12:15
  a
• 12:15
  team
• 12:16
  that
• 12:16
  has
• 12:16
  a
• 12:16
  real
• 12:17
  chance
• 12:17
  here.
• 12:17
  And
• 12:18
  the
• 12:18
  traveling
• 12:18
  and
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  way
• 12:19
  they
• 12:19
  showed
• 12:19
  up
• 12:20
  in
• 12:20
  packs.
• 12:21
  And
• 12:21
  yes,
• 12:21
  there
• 12:21
  is
• 12:21
  some
• 12:22
  behavior.
• 12:22
  This
• 12:22
  is
• 12:22
  what
• 12:22
  I
• 12:23
  also
• 12:23
  want
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  call
• 12:23
  out,
• 12:23
  too.
• 12:24
  I
• 12:24
  don't
• 12:25
  condon
• 12:26
  any,
• 12:26
  that
• 12:26
  I
• 12:27
  don't
• 12:27
  get
• 12:27
  behind
• 12:27
  any
• 12:27
  of
• 12:28
  it.
• 12:28
  I
• 12:28
  think
• 12:29
  there
• 12:29
  are
• 12:29
  some
• 12:29
  people
• 12:29
  that
• 12:29
  just
• 12:29
  don't
• 12:29
  know
• 12:29
  how
• 12:30
  to
• 12:30
  control
• 12:30
  themselves,
• 12:30
  which
• 12:31
  I
• 12:31
  don't.
• 12:32
  I'm
• 12:32
  not.
• 12:32
  Again,
• 12:32
  not
• 12:33
  defending
• 12:33
  in
• 12:33
  any
• 12:34
  way,
• 12:34
  stretch
• 12:35
  shape
• 12:35
  or
• 12:35
  form.
• 12:36
  But
• 12:37
  that's
• 12:37
  not
• 12:37
  everybody
• 12:38
  that
• 12:38
  doesn't
• 12:38
  represent
• 12:39
  for
• 12:39
  a
• 12:39
  vast
• 12:40
  majority
• 12:40
  of
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  people
• 12:40
  that
• 12:41
  are
• 12:41
  just
• 12:41
  trying
• 12:41
  to
• 12:41
  have
• 12:41
  a
• 12:41
  good
• 12:42
  time
• 12:42
  and
• 12:42
  enjoy
• 12:42
  their
• 12:42
  basketball
• 12:43
  team.
• 12:43
  And
• 12:44
  obviously
• 12:44
  the
• 12:44
  Knicks
• 12:44
  gave
• 12:44
  him
• 12:45
  a
• 12:45
  great
• 12:45
  show.
• 12:45
  And
• 12:46
  again,
• 12:47
  just,
• 12:47
  that's,
• 12:48
  that's
• 12:48
  the
• 12:48
  vision.
• 12:49
  When
• 12:49
  you
• 12:49
  think
• 12:49
  back,
• 12:50
  remember
• 12:50
  that
• 12:50
  team
• 12:51
  from
• 12:51
  2026,
• 12:52
  and
• 12:52
  people
• 12:52
  will
• 12:52
  be
• 12:52
  talking
• 12:52
  about
• 12:53
  them
• 12:53
  like
• 12:53
  they
• 12:53
  talk
• 12:53
  about
• 12:53
  the
• 12:54
  73
• 12:54
  team.
• 12:55
  And
• 12:55
  it's
• 12:55
  just
• 12:55
  the
• 12:55
  chance,
• 12:56
  it's
• 12:56
  the
• 12:56
  energy,
• 12:57
  it's
• 12:58
  the
• 12:58
  light
• 12:58
  that
• 12:59
  this
• 12:59
  team
• 12:59
  provided
• 13:00
  for
• 13:00
  New
• 13:00
  York
• 13:00
  City
• 13:01
  and
• 13:01
  all
• 13:01
  their
• 13:02
  loyalty,
• 13:03
  tremendous
• 13:03
  supporters.
• 13:05
  When
• 13:05
  did
• 13:05
  you
• 13:05
  know
• 13:05
  that
• 13:06
  this
• 13:06
  team
• 13:06
  was
• 13:06
  different?
• 13:07
  And
• 13:07
  I
• 13:07
  like
• 13:07
  their.
• 13:07
  Like
• 13:08
  the
• 13:08
  run
• 13:08
  was
• 13:08
  possible.
• 13:11
  Man,
• 13:12
  I'll
• 13:12
  say
• 13:12
  this.
• 13:13
  When
• 13:13
  you're
• 13:13
  up
• 13:13
  101
• 13:14
  to
• 13:14
  40
• 13:14
  on
• 13:14
  somebody,
• 13:15
  that's
• 13:16
  usually
• 13:16
  a
• 13:16
  good
• 13:16
  sign,
• 13:16
  right?
• 13:17
  I
• 13:17
  can't
• 13:17
  argue
• 13:17
  that.
• 13:18
  I
• 13:18
  don't
• 13:19
  know
• 13:19
  if
• 13:19
  it
• 13:19
  was
• 13:19
  necessarily
• 13:19
  in
• 13:20
  that
• 13:20
  first
• 13:20
  round,
• 13:21
  but
• 13:21
  once
• 13:22
  they
• 13:22
  handled
• 13:23
  business
• 13:23
  in
• 13:23
  Philadelphia,
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  I'm
• 13:24
  glad
• 13:24
  you
• 13:24
  brought
• 13:25
  this
• 13:25
  up
• 13:25
  because
• 13:25
  I
• 13:25
  didn't
• 13:25
  want
• 13:25
  to
• 13:26
  forget
• 13:26
  to
• 13:26
  talk
• 13:26
  about
• 13:27
  what
• 13:27
  I
• 13:27
  thought
• 13:28
  was
• 13:28
  a
• 13:28
  overlooked
• 13:29
  turning
• 13:30
  point
• 13:30
  of
• 13:30
  the
• 13:31
  postseason,
• 13:32
  which
• 13:32
  when
• 13:32
  Adenoby
• 13:33
  went
• 13:33
  down
• 13:34
  at
• 13:34
  the
• 13:34
  end
• 13:35
  of
• 13:35
  game
• 13:35
  two,
• 13:35
  everybody
• 13:36
  was
• 13:36
  scared,
• 13:37
  rightfully
• 13:38
  so.
• 13:38
  He
• 13:38
  was
• 13:38
  playing
• 13:39
  at
• 13:39
  an
• 13:39
  unbelievable
• 13:40
  level.
• 13:40
  And
• 13:41
  he's
• 13:41
  very
• 13:41
  important
• 13:41
  to
• 13:42
  the
• 13:42
  team.
• 13:42
  Right.
• 13:42
  No
• 13:42
  one
• 13:42
  can
• 13:43
  argue
• 13:43
  that.
• 13:44
  And
• 13:44
  so
• 13:44
  when
• 13:44
  he
• 13:44
  hurt
• 13:44
  his
• 13:45
  hamstring,
• 13:46
  it
• 13:46
  was
• 13:46
  announced,
• 13:46
  all
• 13:47
  right,
• 13:47
  he's
• 13:47
  not
• 13:47
  going
• 13:47
  to
• 13:47
  play
• 13:48
  in
• 13:48
  game
• 13:48
  three.
• 13:49
  What
• 13:49
  are
• 13:49
  we
• 13:49
  going
• 13:50
  to
• 13:50
  do?
• 13:50
  They
• 13:50
  turn
• 13:51
  to
• 13:51
  shame
• 13:51
  it.
• 13:51
  Who?
• 13:52
  Through
• 13:52
  the
• 13:52
  first
• 13:52
  eight
• 13:53
  games,
• 13:53
  six
• 13:53
  against
• 13:54
  Atlanta
• 13:55
  and
• 13:55
  two
• 13:55
  against
• 13:55
  Philly,
• 13:56
  he
• 13:57
  averaged
• 13:57
  under
• 13:57
  two
• 13:58
  points
• 13:58
  a
• 13:58
  game.
• 13:58
  It's
• 13:59
  hard
• 13:59
  to.
• 13:59
  It's
• 13:59
  hard
• 14:00
  to
• 14:00
  imagine
• 14:01
  that
• 14:01
  and
• 14:01
  picture
• 14:02
  it
• 14:02
  because
• 14:02
  of
• 14:02
  how
• 14:03
  good
• 14:03
  he
• 14:03
  was
• 14:04
  for
• 14:04
  the
• 14:04
  next
• 14:04
  11
• 14:05
  games
• 14:05
  of
• 14:05
  the
• 14:05
  playoffs.
• 14:05
  But
• 14:06
  through
• 14:06
  the
• 14:06
  first
• 14:06
  eight,
• 14:07
  you
• 14:07
  didn't
• 14:08
  see
• 14:08
  Landry
• 14:08
  Shamit
• 14:09
  much.
• 14:09
  And
• 14:09
  when
• 14:09
  you
• 14:09
  did
• 14:09
  it
• 14:10
  was
• 14:10
  for
• 14:10
  five
• 14:10
  to
• 14:11
  seven
• 14:11
  minutes
• 14:11
  and
• 14:12
  then
• 14:12
  he'd
• 14:12
  go
• 14:12
  sit
• 14:12
  down
• 14:13
  for
• 14:13
  the
• 14:13
  rest
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  the
• 14:13
  game.
• 14:14
  So
• 14:14
  I
• 14:14
  think
• 14:15
  that
• 14:15
  injury
• 14:16
  and
• 14:16
  unlocking
• 14:16
  Shamet
• 14:17
  to
• 14:17
  shoot
• 14:17
  well
• 14:18
  in
• 14:18
  Game
• 14:18
  3
• 14:18
  and
• 14:18
  4
• 14:19
  of
• 14:19
  Philly,
• 14:20
  then.
• 14:20
  Then
• 14:20
  to
• 14:21
  see
• 14:21
  what
• 14:21
  he
• 14:21
  did
• 14:21
  versus
• 14:21
  Cleveland,
• 14:22
  which
• 14:22
  was
• 14:22
  tremendous.
• 14:23
  And
• 14:23
  then
• 14:23
  as
• 14:23
  I
• 14:23
  said
• 14:24
  to
• 14:24
  you
• 14:24
  before
• 14:24
  the
• 14:24
  show
• 14:25
  he
• 14:25
  played
• 14:25
  in,
• 14:26
  I
• 14:26
  think
• 14:26
  it
• 14:26
  was
• 14:26
  either
• 14:26
  game
• 14:27
  one
• 14:27
  or
• 14:27
  two,
• 14:27
  the
• 14:28
  third
• 14:28
  most
• 14:28
  minutes
• 14:29
  on
• 14:29
  the
• 14:29
  Knicks
• 14:29
  in
• 14:29
  the
• 14:29
  finals.
• 14:30
  It's
• 14:31
  just
• 14:31
  an
• 14:31
  amazing
• 14:31
  turnaround.
• 14:32
  And
• 14:32
  I
• 14:32
  really
• 14:33
  don't
• 14:33
  think
• 14:34
  we
• 14:34
  would
• 14:34
  have
• 14:34
  seen
• 14:34
  that
• 14:35
  version
• 14:35
  of
• 14:35
  Shamet
• 14:36
  if
• 14:36
  not
• 14:36
  for
• 14:36
  Games
• 14:36
  3
• 14:37
  and
• 14:37
  4
• 14:37
  in
• 14:37
  Philadelphia.
• 14:38
  And
• 14:38
  I
• 14:38
  think
• 14:38
  that's
• 14:39
  also
• 14:39
  a
• 14:39
  testament
• 14:39
  to
• 14:40
  Mike
• 14:40
  Brown's
• 14:41
  working.
• 14:41
  Of
• 14:41
  this
• 14:41
  roster
• 14:42
  where
• 14:42
  you
• 14:43
  don't
• 14:43
  see
• 14:43
  very
• 14:44
  many
• 14:44
  teams
• 14:44
  go
• 14:45
  nine
• 14:45
  deep,
• 14:46
  10
• 14:46
  deep,
• 14:47
  where
• 14:48
  the
• 14:48
  Knicks
• 14:49
  had
• 14:49
  that
• 14:49
  option
• 14:49
  with
• 14:50
  guys
• 14:50
  coming
• 14:50
  off
• 14:50
  the
• 14:50
  bench
• 14:51
  like
• 14:51
  a
• 14:51
  shame.
• 14:52
  It
• 14:52
  like
• 14:52
  a
• 14:52
  Jose
• 14:52
  Alvarado,
• 14:53
  like
• 14:53
  Mitch
• 14:54
  would
• 14:54
  like.
• 14:55
  Most
• 14:55
  teams
• 14:56
  would
• 14:56
  have
• 14:56
  like
• 14:56
  three
• 14:57
  of
• 14:57
  those
• 14:57
  guys.
• 14:58
  Like
• 14:58
  the
• 14:58
  Knicks
• 14:59
  had
• 14:59
  five.
• 14:59
  Like
• 14:59
  you
• 15:00
  could.
• 15:00
  They
• 15:01
  were
• 15:01
  able
• 15:01
  to
• 15:02
  mix
• 15:02
  a
• 15:02
  match
• 15:03
  at
• 15:03
  will.
• 15:04
  And
• 15:04
  that
• 15:04
  was
• 15:05
  something
• 15:05
  that
• 15:05
  you
• 15:05
  didn't
• 15:06
  see
• 15:06
  in
• 15:07
  previous
• 15:07
  seasons
• 15:08
  where
• 15:09
  previous
• 15:09
  staffs
• 15:10
  would
• 15:10
  kind
• 15:10
  of
• 15:10
  shorten
• 15:11
  their
• 15:11
  bench
• 15:11
  as
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  season
• 15:12
  wore
• 15:12
  on
• 15:12
  or
• 15:13
  just
• 15:13
  pretend
• 15:13
  like
• 15:13
  it
• 15:13
  didn't
• 15:14
  exist.
• 15:14
  No
• 15:14
  question.
• 15:15
  And
• 15:15
  staying
• 15:16
  ready,
• 15:16
  Right.
• 15:17
  Something
• 15:17
  I
• 15:17
  talk
• 15:17
  about
• 15:17
  a
• 15:18
  lot,
• 15:18
  the
• 15:19
  professionalism
• 15:19
  of
• 15:20
  these
• 15:20
  guys
• 15:20
  where,
• 15:21
  all
• 15:21
  right,
• 15:21
  whether
• 15:22
  it's
• 15:22
  sham
• 15:22
  and
• 15:22
  I
• 15:22
  wasn't
• 15:23
  playing
• 15:23
  that
• 15:23
  much,
• 15:23
  now
• 15:23
  I'm
• 15:24
  ready
• 15:24
  to
• 15:24
  go.
• 15:25
  I'm
• 15:25
  going
• 15:25
  to
• 15:25
  score
• 15:25
  13
• 15:26
  in
• 15:26
  this
• 15:26
  big
• 15:26
  game
• 15:26
  for
• 15:27
  us
• 15:27
  to
• 15:27
  go
• 15:27
  up
• 15:27
  three
• 15:27
  zero.
• 15:28
  Whether
• 15:28
  it's
• 15:28
  Jordan
• 15:29
  Clarkson,
• 15:29
  who
• 15:30
  there
• 15:30
  were
• 15:30
  at
• 15:30
  times
• 15:30
  throughout
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  season
• 15:31
  where
• 15:31
  he
• 15:32
  could
• 15:32
  have
• 15:32
  pouted.
• 15:33
  I'm
• 15:33
  a
• 15:33
  veteran.
• 15:34
  I've
• 15:34
  won
• 15:34
  six
• 15:34
  man
• 15:35
  of
• 15:35
  the
• 15:35
  year.
• 15:35
  I'm
• 15:35
  32,
• 15:36
  33
• 15:36
  years
• 15:36
  old.
• 15:37
  I've
• 15:37
  been
• 15:37
  around
• 15:37
  the
• 15:37
  block
• 15:37
  a
• 15:38
  few
• 15:38
  times.
• 15:38
  What
• 15:38
  do
• 15:38
  you
• 15:38
  mean?
• 15:39
  I'm
• 15:39
  not
• 15:39
  going
• 15:39
  to
• 15:39
  play
• 15:39
  for
• 15:39
  a
• 15:40
  month,
• 15:40
  right?
• 15:41
  Where
• 15:41
  was
• 15:41
  a
• 15:41
  deuce
• 15:41
  McBride
• 15:42
  overcoming
• 15:43
  a
• 15:43
  shooting
• 15:43
  slump
• 15:44
  and
• 15:44
  still
• 15:44
  trying
• 15:44
  to
• 15:45
  give
• 15:45
  you
• 15:45
  something
• 15:45
  defensively.
• 15:46
  Or
• 15:46
  it's
• 15:46
  Mitch
• 15:47
  Robinson.
• 15:47
  I
• 15:47
  broke
• 15:47
  my
• 15:48
  pinky.
• 15:48
  I'm
• 15:48
  still
• 15:48
  going
• 15:48
  to
• 15:49
  have
• 15:49
  an
• 15:49
  impact
• 15:49
  on
• 15:49
  this
• 15:50
  series.
• 15:50
  And
• 15:51
  again,
• 15:51
  Jose
• 15:52
  Alvarado
• 15:52
  is
• 15:52
  somebody
• 15:53
  that
• 15:54
  is
• 15:54
  going
• 15:54
  to
• 15:54
  pop
• 15:54
  up
• 15:54
  when
• 15:55
  you
• 15:55
  think
• 15:55
  about
• 15:55
  this
• 15:55
  team
• 15:56
  because
• 15:56
  of
• 15:57
  his
• 15:57
  impact
• 15:57
  on
• 15:57
  a
• 15:57
  couple
• 15:58
  of
• 15:58
  the
• 15:58
  comebacks.
• 15:58
  But
• 15:59
  does
• 15:59
  anybody
• 16:00
  represent
• 16:00
  this
• 16:00
  team
• 16:01
  better?
• 16:01
  Not
• 16:01
  only
• 16:02
  that,
• 16:02
  he's
• 16:02
  from
• 16:02
  New
• 16:02
  York,
• 16:03
  right?
• 16:04
  It
• 16:04
  doesn't
• 16:04
  matter.
• 16:04
  I'm
• 16:04
  going
• 16:04
  to
• 16:04
  give
• 16:05
  you
• 16:05
  whatever
• 16:05
  I
• 16:05
  have
• 16:05
  in
• 16:06
  12
• 16:06
  minutes.
• 16:06
  I'm
• 16:06
  undersized.
• 16:07
  I'm
• 16:08
  going
• 16:08
  to
• 16:08
  battle.
• 16:08
  I'm
• 16:08
  going
• 16:08
  to
• 16:08
  force
• 16:09
  some
• 16:09
  turnovers.
• 16:09
  I'm
• 16:10
  going
• 16:10
  to
• 16:10
  make
• 16:10
  Big
• 16:10
  shots.
• 16:11
  The
• 16:11
  bench
• 16:12
  was
• 16:12
  very
• 16:12
  refreshing.
• 16:13
  And
• 16:13
  again,
• 16:14
  I
• 16:14
  don't
• 16:14
  want
• 16:14
  to
• 16:14
  knock
• 16:14
  what
• 16:15
  happened
• 16:15
  in
• 16:15
  the
• 16:15
  past.
• 16:16
  I'm
• 16:16
  focusing
• 16:17
  on
• 16:17
  the
• 16:17
  fact
• 16:17
  that
• 16:18
  the
• 16:18
  Knicks
• 16:18
  called
• 16:19
  on
• 16:19
  people
• 16:19
  and
• 16:20
  they
• 16:20
  were
• 16:20
  ready
• 16:20
  to
• 16:20
  do
• 16:21
  their
• 16:21
  job.
• 16:21
  And
• 16:21
  that's
• 16:22
  the
• 16:22
  testament
• 16:22
  of
• 16:22
  a
• 16:23
  champion.
• 16:24
  And
• 16:24
  it
• 16:24
  starts
• 16:25
  at
• 16:25
  the
• 16:25
  top
• 16:25
  with
• 16:25
  Brunson
• 16:25
  and
• 16:26
  his
• 16:26
  leadership
• 16:26
  qualities.
• 16:27
  And
• 16:27
  they
• 16:28
  were
• 16:28
  able
• 16:28
  to
• 16:28
  keep
• 16:28
  things
• 16:29
  together.
• 16:29
  It
• 16:29
  was
• 16:29
  never
• 16:29
  finger
• 16:30
  pointing.
• 16:30
  I'd
• 16:31
  always
• 16:31
  look
• 16:31
  at
• 16:31
  the
• 16:31
  press
• 16:32
  conferences
• 16:33
  of
• 16:33
  other
• 16:33
  teams
• 16:34
  compared
• 16:34
  to
• 16:34
  the
• 16:34
  Knicks.
• 16:35
  I
• 16:35
  think
• 16:35
  that's
• 16:36
  a
• 16:36
  telltale
• 16:37
  of
• 16:37
  the
• 16:37
  things
• 16:37
  that
• 16:37
  are
• 16:38
  gone
• 16:38
  on
• 16:38
  here,
• 16:38
  not
• 16:39
  just
• 16:39
  this
• 16:39
  season,
• 16:39
  but
• 16:39
  in
• 16:39
  the
• 16:40
  past.
• 16:40
  I
• 16:40
  think
• 16:40
  they've
• 16:40
  always
• 16:40
  had
• 16:41
  those
• 16:41
  qualities.
• 16:42
  But
• 16:42
  this
• 16:42
  year
• 16:43
  it
• 16:43
  was
• 16:43
  magnified
• 16:44
  and
• 16:44
  they
• 16:45
  were
• 16:45
  able
• 16:45
  to
• 16:45
  get
• 16:45
  the
• 16:45
  job
• 16:46
  done
• 16:46
  because
• 16:46
  they
• 16:46
  were.
• 16:46
  They
• 16:47
  weren't
• 16:47
  just
• 16:47
  the
• 16:47
  five
• 16:48
  starters,
• 16:48
  it
• 16:48
  was
• 16:48
  the
• 16:48
  other
• 16:49
  guys
• 16:49
  contributing
• 16:49
  to
• 16:49
  winning.
• 16:50
  And
• 16:50
  like
• 16:51
  that,
• 16:51
  like
• 16:51
  one
• 16:52
  of
• 16:52
  those,
• 16:52
  one
• 16:52
  of
• 16:52
  the
• 16:52
  people,
• 16:53
  like,
• 16:53
  like
• 16:53
  I,
• 16:54
  like.
• 16:54
  I
• 16:54
  remember
• 16:55
  they
• 16:55
  showed.
• 16:56
  I
• 16:56
  think
• 16:56
  it
• 16:56
  was
• 16:56
  Alvarado's
• 16:57
  like
• 16:57
  middle
• 16:57
  school
• 16:58
  yearbook
• 16:58
  or
• 16:58
  something.
• 16:58
  And
• 16:59
  he
• 16:59
  said,
• 17:00
  like,
• 17:00
  I
• 17:00
  like,
• 17:00
  I'm.
• 17:01
  I'm
• 17:01
  going
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  be
• 17:01
  a
• 17:01
  pro.
• 17:02
  I
• 17:03
  base
• 17:04
  myself
• 17:04
  on
• 17:04
  Chris
• 17:04
  Paul.
• 17:05
  I
• 17:05
  think
• 17:05
  it's
• 17:05
  kind
• 17:06
  of
• 17:06
  funny
• 17:06
  that
• 17:06
  Alvarado
• 17:07
  got
• 17:07
  a
• 17:07
  ring
• 17:08
  before
• 17:08
  Chris
• 17:08
  Paul.
• 17:09
  And
• 17:10
  you
• 17:10
  know,
• 17:10
  like
• 17:11
  that,
• 17:11
  like
• 17:11
  that,
• 17:11
  like,
• 17:11
  that's
• 17:11
  just
• 17:12
  kind
• 17:12
  of
• 17:12
  like
• 17:12
  one
• 17:12
  of
• 17:12
  those,
• 17:12
  like
• 17:13
  one
• 17:13
  of
• 17:13
  those
• 17:13
  attitudes
• 17:13
  that
• 17:14
  really
• 17:14
  will
• 17:14
  endear
• 17:15
  you
• 17:16
  to
• 17:16
  the
• 17:17
  New
• 17:17
  York
• 17:17
  Knicks
• 17:18
  fans.
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  like,
• 17:19
  that's
• 17:19
  going
• 17:19
  to
• 17:19
  be
• 17:19
  somebody
• 17:19
  that
• 17:21
  maybe
• 17:21
  you're
• 17:21
  not
• 17:22
  gonna
• 17:22
  see
• 17:22
  his
• 17:22
  jersey
• 17:23
  running
• 17:23
  around
• 17:23
  New
• 17:24
  York
• 17:24
  all
• 17:24
  day
• 17:25
  long,
• 17:25
  but
• 17:25
  everybody's
• 17:26
  gonna
• 17:26
  remember
• 17:27
  that
• 17:27
  guy,
• 17:29
  definitely.
• 17:29
  And
• 17:29
  the
• 17:30
  fact
• 17:30
  that
• 17:30
  he's
• 17:30
  from
• 17:31
  here,
• 17:31
  as
• 17:31
  you
• 17:31
  said,
• 17:32
  and
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  qualities
• 17:34
  that
• 17:34
  you
• 17:35
  mentioned
• 17:35
  something
• 17:35
  in
• 17:35
  the
• 17:35
  opening
• 17:36
  about
• 17:37
  blue
• 17:37
  collar
• 17:38
  lunch
• 17:39
  pail,
• 17:39
  like,
• 17:39
  does
• 17:39
  anybody
• 17:40
  fit
• 17:40
  that
• 17:40
  description
• 17:41
  better?
• 17:41
  I
• 17:41
  think
• 17:42
  the
• 17:43
  miniature
• 17:43
  Josh
• 17:43
  Hart
• 17:44
  is
• 17:44
  something
• 17:44
  I
• 17:44
  refer
• 17:45
  to
• 17:45
  him
• 17:45
  as
• 17:45
  during
• 17:46
  the
• 17:46
  course
• 17:47
  of
• 17:47
  this
• 17:47
  run,
• 17:47
  because
• 17:48
  when
• 17:48
  the
• 17:48
  Knicks
• 17:48
  first
• 17:49
  got
• 17:49
  Josh,
• 17:49
  it
• 17:50
  was,
• 17:50
  wow.
• 17:52
  This
• 17:52
  level
• 17:52
  of
• 17:53
  compete,
• 17:54
  know,
• 17:54
  competitiveness,
• 17:55
  you
• 17:55
  refer
• 17:55
  to
• 17:55
  it
• 17:56
  as
• 17:56
  jumps
• 17:57
  off
• 17:57
  your
• 17:57
  screen.
• 17:58
  This
• 17:58
  guy
• 17:58
  wants
• 17:58
  to
• 17:59
  win
• 17:59
  more
• 17:59
  than
• 17:59
  other
• 17:59
  people
• 18:00
  do.
• 18:00
  And
• 18:00
  the
• 18:01
  more
• 18:01
  guys
• 18:01
  you
• 18:01
  have
• 18:01
  like
• 18:02
  that
• 18:02
  around,
• 18:02
  it
• 18:02
  was
• 18:03
  a
• 18:03
  brilliant
• 18:03
  move
• 18:04
  that
• 18:04
  the
• 18:04
  Knicks
• 18:05
  made.
• 18:05
  It
• 18:05
  felt
• 18:05
  inevitable.
• 18:06
  When
• 18:06
  they
• 18:06
  started
• 18:06
  talking
• 18:07
  about
• 18:07
  it,
• 18:07
  Yabba
• 18:08
  selly
• 18:08
  obviously
• 18:09
  didn't
• 18:09
  work
• 18:09
  out
• 18:09
  for
• 18:10
  him.
• 18:10
  They
• 18:10
  moved
• 18:11
  him
• 18:11
  to
• 18:11
  another
• 18:11
  for
• 18:11
  another
• 18:12
  piece
• 18:12
  and
• 18:12
  then
• 18:12
  they
• 18:13
  transferred
• 18:13
  that
• 18:14
  over
• 18:15
  to
• 18:15
  make
• 18:15
  the
• 18:15
  Alvarado
• 18:16
  trade
• 18:17
  a
• 18:17
  reality.
• 18:17
  And
• 18:19
  again,
• 18:19
  I
• 18:19
  don't
• 18:20
  know
• 18:20
  if
• 18:20
  you.
• 18:20
  It's
• 18:21
  hard.
• 18:21
  It
• 18:21
  sounds
• 18:22
  funny
• 18:22
  to
• 18:22
  say
• 18:22
  this
• 18:23
  because
• 18:23
  of
• 18:23
  how
• 18:24
  great
• 18:24
  Brunson
• 18:25
  is
• 18:25
  and
• 18:25
  the
• 18:25
  other
• 18:25
  talent
• 18:26
  they
• 18:26
  have,
• 18:26
  but
• 18:27
  bench
• 18:27
  guys
• 18:27
  swing,
• 18:28
  can
• 18:28
  swing
• 18:28
  the
• 18:29
  series.
• 18:29
  I
• 18:29
  mean,
• 18:29
  I
• 18:29
  know
• 18:30
  and
• 18:30
  I
• 18:30
  want
• 18:30
  to
• 18:30
  get
• 18:30
  into
• 18:31
  the
• 18:31
  game
• 18:31
  for
• 18:31
  story
• 18:31
  and,
• 18:32
  you
• 18:33
  know,
• 18:33
  maybe,
• 18:33
  maybe
• 18:33
  we
• 18:33
  will
• 18:33
  touch
• 18:34
  on
• 18:34
  that
• 18:34
  in
• 18:34
  just
• 18:34
  a
• 18:34
  little.
• 18:34
  Bit,
• 18:35
  but
• 18:36
  we'll
• 18:36
  get,
• 18:37
  we'll
• 18:37
  get
• 18:37
  to
• 18:37
  that
• 18:38
  after
• 18:38
  the
• 18:38
  break.
• 18:39
  But
• 18:41
  they
• 18:41
  don't
• 18:42
  win
• 18:42
  that
• 18:42
  game
• 18:42
  without
• 18:42
  him.
• 18:43
  So.
• 18:43
  And
• 18:44
  that,
• 18:44
  that's
• 18:44
  fair
• 18:44
  to
• 18:45
  say.
• 18:45
  Anybody
• 18:45
  that
• 18:45
  was
• 18:45
  watching
• 18:46
  the
• 18:46
  most
• 18:46
  historic
• 18:47
  comeback
• 18:47
  in
• 18:47
  NBA
• 18:47
  Finals
• 18:48
  history
• 18:48
  knows
• 18:48
  that
• 18:49
  if
• 18:49
  Alvarado
• 18:49
  doesn't
• 18:50
  come
• 18:50
  into
• 18:50
  that
• 18:50
  game
• 18:50
  and
• 18:51
  light
• 18:51
  the
• 18:51
  spark
• 18:52
  that
• 18:53
  we're
• 18:53
  singing
• 18:54
  a
• 18:54
  different
• 18:54
  tune.
• 18:55
  We're
• 18:56
  talking
• 18:56
  with
• 18:56
  Harris,
• 18:56
  Richard
• 18:56
  from
• 18:57
  Knickerbocker
• 18:57
  Banner,
• 18:58
  where
• 19:00
  one
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  the
• 19:00
  things
• 19:00
  I
• 19:00
  definitely
• 19:01
  thought
• 19:02
  of
• 19:02
  and
• 19:02
  like,
• 19:02
  this
• 19:02
  has
• 19:03
  been
• 19:03
  a
• 19:03
  thing
• 19:03
  now
• 19:03
  with
• 19:03
  the
• 19:03
  Knicks
• 19:04
  for
• 19:04
  several
• 19:04
  years
• 19:05
  is
• 19:05
  that
• 19:05
  a
• 19:06
  lot
• 19:06
  of
• 19:06
  the
• 19:06
  core
• 19:06
  has
• 19:07
  been
• 19:07
  Villanova
• 19:08
  based,
• 19:08
  like
• 19:08
  with
• 19:08
  Brunson,
• 19:09
  with
• 19:10
  Hart,
• 19:10
  with
• 19:11
  Bridges,
• 19:11
  and
• 19:11
  before
• 19:11
  that,
• 19:12
  Dante
• 19:13
  Dimoncenzo.
• 19:14
  And
• 19:14
  like,
• 19:15
  so,
• 19:15
  like,
• 19:15
  these
• 19:15
  were
• 19:15
  all
• 19:15
  guys.
• 19:15
  And
• 19:16
  shout
• 19:16
  out
• 19:16
  to
• 19:16
  Jay
• 19:16
  Wright,
• 19:16
  by
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  way,
• 19:17
  where
• 19:18
  if
• 19:18
  they
• 19:18
  want
• 19:18
  to,
• 19:18
  if
• 19:18
  the
• 19:18
  Knicks
• 19:19
  want
• 19:19
  to
• 19:19
  give
• 19:19
  him
• 19:19
  a
• 19:19
  ring,
• 19:19
  I'm
• 19:20
  okay
• 19:20
  with
• 19:20
  that.
• 19:21
  He's
• 19:21
  got
• 19:22
  enough.
• 19:23
  That's
• 19:23
  true.
• 19:24
  Never,
• 19:25
  never
• 19:25
  doubt
• 19:25
  him
• 19:26
  in
• 19:26
  March.
• 19:27
  But
• 19:28
  one
• 19:28
  of
• 19:28
  the
• 19:28
  things
• 19:28
  that
• 19:28
  I,
• 19:29
  I
• 19:29
  forgot
• 19:29
  who
• 19:29
  said
• 19:30
  it,
• 19:30
  but
• 19:31
  watching,
• 19:31
  like,
• 19:32
  during
• 19:32
  the
• 19:32
  Knicks
• 19:32
  run,
• 19:32
  it
• 19:33
  was
• 19:33
  like,
• 19:34
  it
• 19:34
  was
• 19:34
  like
• 19:34
  they
• 19:34
  were,
• 19:34
  instead
• 19:35
  of
• 19:35
  playing
• 19:35
  a
• 19:35
  series,
• 19:35
  like
• 19:36
  they
• 19:36
  were
• 19:36
  playing
• 19:36
  one
• 19:36
  individual
• 19:37
  game
• 19:37
  that
• 19:37
  they
• 19:37
  couldn't
• 19:38
  lose.
• 19:38
  So,
• 19:38
  like,
• 19:39
  that's
• 19:39
  why
• 19:39
  they,
• 19:40
  I
• 19:40
  forgot
• 19:40
  who
• 19:40
  said
• 19:41
  it
• 19:41
  was
• 19:41
  like,
• 19:41
  it's
• 19:41
  like
• 19:41
  going
• 19:42
  back
• 19:42
  to
• 19:42
  that
• 19:42
  March
• 19:43
  Madness
• 19:43
  mindset.
• 19:44
  I
• 19:44
  was
• 19:44
  like,
• 19:45
  I,
• 19:45
  I
• 19:45
  can't
• 19:45
  lose.
• 19:46
  I
• 19:46
  can't.
• 19:46
  Like,
• 19:47
  it's
• 19:47
  one
• 19:47
  game
• 19:48
  and
• 19:48
  that's
• 19:48
  it.
• 19:48
  Not,
• 19:49
  oh,
• 19:49
  you
• 19:49
  know,
• 19:49
  we
• 19:50
  lose,
• 19:50
  we
• 19:50
  have
• 19:50
  three
• 19:51
  more
• 19:51
  that
• 19:51
  we
• 19:51
  can,
• 19:52
  we
• 19:52
  can
• 19:52
  work
• 19:52
  with.
• 19:52
  It's
• 19:52
  like,
• 19:53
  no,
• 19:53
  one
• 19:53
  one
• 19:53
  and
• 19:54
  over.
• 19:54
  And
• 19:54
  I
• 19:54
  kind
• 19:55
  of
• 19:55
  thought
• 19:55
  it
• 19:55
  was
• 19:55
  like
• 19:55
  a
• 19:56
  very
• 19:56
  interesting
• 19:56
  mindset
• 19:56
  to
• 19:57
  take
• 19:57
  where,
• 19:58
  like,
• 19:58
  maybe
• 19:59
  that
• 19:59
  maybe
• 19:59
  there
• 19:59
  was
• 19:59
  something
• 20:00
  to
• 20:00
  that.
• 20:01
  Well,
• 20:01
  what
• 20:01
  do
• 20:01
  you
• 20:01
  hear
• 20:01
  the
• 20:01
  Knicks
• 20:02
  talk
• 20:02
  about
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  lot
• 20:03
  when
• 20:03
  they
• 20:03
  were
• 20:03
  asked
• 20:04
  about,
• 20:04
  you're
• 20:05
  up
• 20:05
  20
• 20:05
  or
• 20:06
  you're
• 20:06
  up
• 20:06
  3
• 20:06
  0,
• 20:07
  or,
• 20:07
  you
• 20:07
  know,
• 20:07
  what's
• 20:07
  the
• 20:08
  mentality
• 20:08
  now?
• 20:09
  And
• 20:09
  it
• 20:09
  sounds
• 20:10
  cliche
• 20:10
  and
• 20:11
  to
• 20:11
  some
• 20:11
  people
• 20:11
  is
• 20:11
  like,
• 20:12
  oh,
• 20:12
  come
• 20:12
  on,
• 20:13
  it's
• 20:13
  a
• 20:13
  little
• 20:13
  corny.
• 20:14
  The
• 20:14
  human
• 20:15
  nature
• 20:15
  has
• 20:15
  to
• 20:15
  set.
• 20:16
  And
• 20:16
  they
• 20:16
  were
• 20:16
  like,
• 20:16
  zero,
• 20:16
  zero.
• 20:17
  They
• 20:17
  kept
• 20:17
  referring
• 20:18
  to
• 20:18
  that.
• 20:18
  They
• 20:18
  kept
• 20:19
  saying
• 20:19
  that,
• 20:19
  zero,
• 20:19
  zero.
• 20:20
  The
• 20:20
  team
• 20:21
  got
• 20:21
  locked
• 20:21
  in.
• 20:22
  They
• 20:22
  flipped
• 20:23
  that
• 20:23
  switch.
• 20:23
  And
• 20:25
  this
• 20:25
  is
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  first
• 20:25
  time
• 20:25
  I'm
• 20:26
  hearing
• 20:26
  the
• 20:27
  March
• 20:27
  Madness
• 20:27
  analogy
• 20:28
  made.
• 20:28
  And
• 20:28
  it
• 20:28
  makes
• 20:29
  a
• 20:29
  lot
• 20:29
  of
• 20:29
  sense.
• 20:30
  I
• 20:30
  give
• 20:31
  Jay
• 20:31
  Wright
• 20:31
  all
• 20:31
  the
• 20:32
  credit
• 20:32
  in
• 20:32
  the
• 20:32
  world.
• 20:32
  That's
• 20:32
  not
• 20:32
  just.
• 20:33
  I
• 20:33
  attended
• 20:33
  his
• 20:33
  basketball
• 20:34
  camp
• 20:34
  at
• 20:34
  Hofstra
• 20:35
  and
• 20:35
  then
• 20:35
  also
• 20:35
  attended
• 20:36
  his
• 20:36
  basketball
• 20:36
  camp
• 20:36
  at
• 20:37
  Villanova's
• 20:37
  sleepaway
• 20:38
  camp,
• 20:38
  too,
• 20:39
  as
• 20:39
  well.
• 20:39
  But
• 20:40
  this
• 20:40
  is
• 20:40
  one
• 20:40
  of
• 20:40
  the
• 20:40
  best
• 20:41
  winners
• 20:41
  that
• 20:41
  there
• 20:41
  are.
• 20:42
  Completely
• 20:43
  changed
• 20:43
  that
• 20:43
  program
• 20:43
  around.
• 20:44
  Obviously
• 20:44
  won
• 20:44
  two
• 20:44
  national
• 20:45
  titles
• 20:45
  with
• 20:45
  this
• 20:45
  group.
• 20:46
  And
• 20:46
  a
• 20:46
  lot
• 20:46
  of
• 20:46
  people
• 20:47
  said,
• 20:47
  well,
• 20:48
  you
• 20:48
  can't
• 20:48
  operate
• 20:48
  on
• 20:48
  the
• 20:49
  power
• 20:49
  of
• 20:49
  friendship.
• 20:49
  And
• 20:50
  just
• 20:50
  because
• 20:50
  you
• 20:50
  won
• 20:51
  in
• 20:51
  college
• 20:51
  doesn't
• 20:51
  mean.
• 20:52
  Well,
• 20:52
  to
• 20:53
  a
• 20:53
  certain
• 20:53
  extent,
• 20:53
  yes.
• 20:54
  But
• 20:54
  what
• 20:54
  these
• 20:55
  three
• 20:55
  guys
• 20:56
  represent
• 20:57
  and
• 20:57
  I
• 20:57
  talked
• 20:58
  to
• 20:58
  you
• 20:58
  about
• 20:58
  before,
• 20:58
  professionalism,
• 21:00
  how
• 21:00
  they
• 21:00
  carry
• 21:01
  themselves,
• 21:01
  how
• 21:02
  they
• 21:02
  compete.
• 21:02
  I
• 21:02
  mean,
• 21:03
  we
• 21:03
  talk
• 21:03
  about
• 21:03
  Bridges
• 21:04
  not
• 21:04
  missing
• 21:05
  a
• 21:05
  game
• 21:05
  in
• 21:05
  his
• 21:05
  career.
• 21:06
  We
• 21:06
  talk
• 21:06
  about
• 21:07
  Hart's
• 21:07
  compete
• 21:07
  level
• 21:08
  and
• 21:08
  there
• 21:08
  might
• 21:08
  be
• 21:08
  a
• 21:09
  statue
• 21:09
  for
• 21:09
  Jalen
• 21:09
  Brunson.
• 21:10
  So
• 21:11
  that
• 21:11
  that
• 21:12
  group.
• 21:13
  And
• 21:13
  you
• 21:13
  know,
• 21:14
  obviously
• 21:14
  they'd
• 21:14
  want
• 21:15
  Dante
• 21:15
  around.
• 21:15
  I
• 21:15
  know
• 21:15
  a
• 21:16
  lot
• 21:16
  of
• 21:16
  guys
• 21:16
  reached
• 21:16
  out
• 21:16
  to
• 21:17
  him
• 21:17
  and
• 21:17
  felt
• 21:17
  bad
• 21:17
  that.
• 21:18
  He
• 21:18
  wasn't
• 21:18
  part
• 21:18
  of.
• 21:18
  He
• 21:18
  was
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  casualty
• 21:19
  in
• 21:19
  the
• 21:19
  trade,
• 21:19
  but
• 21:20
  he
• 21:20
  was
• 21:20
  like
• 21:21
  that
• 21:21
  as
• 21:21
  well.
• 21:21
  These
• 21:22
  guys
• 21:22
  are
• 21:22
  cut
• 21:22
  from
• 21:22
  that
• 21:23
  cloth
• 21:23
  where
• 21:24
  winning
• 21:24
  matters
• 21:25
  more
• 21:25
  than
• 21:25
  anything,
• 21:25
  and
• 21:25
  they're
• 21:26
  able
• 21:26
  to
• 21:26
  put
• 21:26
  their
• 21:26
  ego
• 21:27
  aside
• 21:27
  for
• 21:27
  the
• 21:28
  betterment
• 21:28
  of
• 21:28
  the
• 21:28
  group.
• 21:29
  And
• 21:29
  that,
• 21:29
  like,
• 21:30
  that.
• 21:30
  That
• 21:30
  was
• 21:30
  definitely
• 21:31
  something
• 21:31
  very
• 21:31
  really,
• 21:32
  like,
• 21:32
  really
• 21:32
  interesting

  to
• 21:33
  watch
• 21:33
  how
• 21:34
  like,

  they,
• 21:34
  like,
• 21:35
  everybody
• 21:35
  bought
• 21:36
  in.
• 21:36
  And
• 21:37
  that
• 21:37
  was
• 21:37
  something
• 21:37
  we
• 21:38
  were
• 21:38
  talking
• 21:38
  about
• 21:38
  before
• 21:38
  the
• 21:39
  show.
• 21:39
  Like,
• 21:40
  I
• 21:40
  kind
• 21:40
  of
• 21:40
  equated
• 21:40
  it
• 21:41
  to
• 21:41
  the
• 21:41
  Vegas
• 21:42
  Golden
• 21:42
  Knights
• 21:42
  in
• 21:42
  the
• 21:42
  NHL.
• 21:44
  While
• 21:44
  they
• 21:44
  didn't
• 21:44
  win
• 21:44
  the
• 21:45
  Stanley
• 21:45
  cup,
• 21:46
  they
• 21:46
  were.
• 21:47
  They
• 21:48
  were
• 21:48
  fighting
• 21:48
  for
• 21:48
  a
• 21:48
  playoff
• 21:48
  spot.
• 21:49
  They
• 21:49
  fired
• 21:49
  their
• 21:50
  head
• 21:50
  coach
• 21:50
  with
• 21:50
  five
• 21:51
  games
• 21:51
  left
• 21:51
  in
• 21:51
  the
• 21:51
  season.
• 21:52
  Bring
• 21:52
  in
• 21:53
  and
• 21:53
  bring
• 21:53
  in
• 21:53
  a
• 21:53
  new
• 21:54
  guy
• 21:54
  and
• 21:54
  everybody
• 21:55
  buys
• 21:55
  in.
• 21:55
  They
• 21:56
  get
• 21:56
  hot
• 21:56
  at
• 21:56
  the
• 21:56
  right
• 21:57
  time,
• 21:57
  they
• 21:58
  go
• 21:58
  and
• 21:58
  they
• 21:58
  dominate
• 21:59
  in
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  Western
• 21:59
  Conference
• 22:00
  playoffs
• 22:00
  and
• 22:01
  then
• 22:01
  take
• 22:01
  the
• 22:02
  Carolina
• 22:02
  Hurricanes
• 22:03
  six
• 22:03
  games.
• 22:03
  Like
• 22:04
  that.
• 22:04
  Like,
• 22:05
  when
• 22:05
  you
• 22:05
  have
• 22:05
  a
• 22:05
  team
• 22:05
  that
• 22:06
  buys
• 22:06
  in
• 22:07
  and
• 22:08
  everything
• 22:08
  clicks,
• 22:09
  it's
• 22:09
  just
• 22:09
  really
• 22:10
  amazing
• 22:10
  to
• 22:10
  watch
• 22:11
  that
• 22:11
  all
• 22:11
  kind
• 22:12
  of
• 22:12
  go
• 22:12
  in
• 22:12
  motion.
• 22:13
  Yeah,
• 22:13
  no
• 22:13
  doubt
• 22:14
  about
• 22:14
  it.
• 22:14
  And
• 22:15
  honestly,
• 22:15
  I
• 22:16
  want
• 22:16
  to
• 22:16
  also
• 22:16
  bring
• 22:16
  this
• 22:17
  up
• 22:17
  because
• 22:18
  it
• 22:18
  is
• 22:18
  something
• 22:18
  I
• 22:19
  made
• 22:19
  note
• 22:19
  of
• 22:19
  and
• 22:20
  want
• 22:20
  to
• 22:20
  bring
• 22:20
  light
• 22:21
  to
• 22:21
  is
• 22:22
  the
• 22:22
  Dolan
• 22:22
  speech.
• 22:23
  I
• 22:23
  know
• 22:23
  he's
• 22:23
  not
• 22:24
  the.
• 22:25
  That
• 22:25
  necessarily
• 22:26
  have
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  best
• 22:26
  reputation
• 22:27
  around
• 22:28
  New
• 22:28
  York
• 22:28
  City
• 22:29
  for
• 22:29
  all
• 22:29
  the
• 22:29
  things
• 22:30
  that
• 22:30
  have
• 22:30
  gone
• 22:30
  on
• 22:30
  with
• 22:30
  this
• 22:31
  within
• 22:31
  this
• 22:31
  organization.
• 22:32
  I
• 22:33
  just.
• 22:33
  I
• 22:33
  just
• 22:33
  thought
• 22:33
  it
• 22:33
  was
• 22:34
  interesting
• 22:34
  how
• 22:34
  he
• 22:35
  addressed
• 22:35
  the
• 22:35
  team.
• 22:36
  And
• 22:37
  it
• 22:37
  almost
• 22:37
  felt
• 22:38
  like
• 22:38
  somewhat
• 22:38
  of
• 22:38
  like
• 22:39
  a
• 22:39
  Hollywood
• 22:39
  speech
• 22:40
  of,
• 22:40
  like,
• 22:40
  when
• 22:40
  I
• 22:41
  first
• 22:41
  saw
• 22:41
  that,
• 22:41
  I
• 22:41
  thought
• 22:42
  it
• 22:42
  was
• 22:42
  actually
• 22:42
  AI.
• 22:43
  Like,
• 22:43
  I
• 22:43
  didn't
• 22:43
  think
• 22:43
  that
• 22:44
  Dolan
• 22:44
  would
• 22:45
  talk
• 22:45
  to
• 22:45
  them
• 22:45
  about
• 22:46
  these
• 22:46
  values
• 22:47
  and
• 22:47
  these,
• 22:47
  you
• 22:47
  know,
• 22:47
  the
• 22:48
  10
• 22:48
  weeks
• 22:48
  and
• 22:48
  the
• 22:48
  principles
• 22:49
  and
• 22:49
  the.
• 22:50
  And
• 22:50
  the
• 22:50
  things
• 22:50
  that
• 22:50
  are
• 22:50
  going
• 22:51
  to
• 22:51
  need
• 22:51
  to
• 22:51
  happen.
• 22:51
  And
• 22:52
  you
• 22:52
  know
• 22:53
  what
• 22:53
  I
• 22:53
  will
• 22:53
  give
• 22:53
  him
• 22:53
  credit
• 22:53
  for
• 22:54
  because
• 22:54
  again,
• 22:54
  a
• 22:54
  lot
• 22:55
  of
• 22:55
  people
• 22:55
  that
• 22:55
  talk
• 22:55
  to
• 22:55
  him
• 22:55
  might
• 22:56
  not
• 22:56
  know
• 22:56
  him
• 22:56
  personally.
• 22:57
  Let
• 22:57
  the
• 22:58
  basketball
• 22:58
  people
• 22:58
  be
• 22:58
  the
• 22:59
  basketball
• 22:59
  people
• 23:00
  and
• 23:00
  you
• 23:00
  can
• 23:00
  kind
• 23:01
  of
• 23:01
  take
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  step
• 23:01
  back
• 23:01
  and
• 23:02
  trust.
• 23:02
  And,
• 23:03
  you
• 23:03
  know,
• 23:03
  they
• 23:04
  made
• 23:04
  the
• 23:04
  tough
• 23:04
  decision
• 23:04
  last
• 23:05
  year
• 23:05
  to
• 23:05
  move
• 23:06
  on
• 23:06
  from
• 23:06
  the
• 23:06
  head
• 23:06
  coach,
• 23:07
  but
• 23:08
  from
• 23:08
  everything
• 23:08
  that
• 23:08
  you
• 23:09
  see,
• 23:09
  they
• 23:09
  let
• 23:09
  the
• 23:10
  leaders
• 23:10
  lead,
• 23:11
  and
• 23:11
  he
• 23:11
  made
• 23:11
  points
• 23:12
  that
• 23:12
  made
• 23:13
  sense.
• 23:13
  Right.
• 23:13
  Like,
• 23:14
  I
• 23:14
  watched
• 23:14
  that
• 23:14
  speech
• 23:15
  back
• 23:15
  and
• 23:15
  I
• 23:15
  said,
• 23:15
  you
• 23:16
  know
• 23:16
  what?
• 23:17
  This
• 23:17
  is
• 23:17
  accurate.
• 23:17
  You
• 23:18
  got
• 23:18
  to,
• 23:18
  you
• 23:18
  know,
• 23:18
  you
• 23:18
  can
• 23:19
  have.
• 23:19
  You
• 23:19
  could
• 23:19
  have
• 23:19
  feelings
• 23:20
  about
• 23:20
  somebody
• 23:20
  and
• 23:20
  say,
• 23:21
  all
• 23:21
  right,
• 23:21
  I
• 23:21
  don't
• 23:21
  like
• 23:22
  this
• 23:22
  guy.
• 23:22
  I
• 23:22
  don't
• 23:22
  like
• 23:22
  what
• 23:22
  he's
• 23:23
  done
• 23:23
  in
• 23:23
  the
• 23:23
  past.
• 23:24
  But
• 23:24
  if
• 23:25
  the
• 23:25
  message
• 23:25
  was
• 23:26
  received
• 23:27
  and
• 23:27
  that
• 23:27
  was
• 23:27
  given
• 23:27
  a
• 23:27
  couple
• 23:28
  weeks
• 23:28
  before
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  postseason
• 23:29
  and
• 23:30
  it
• 23:30
  was
• 23:30
  on
• 23:30
  the
• 23:30
  money
• 23:30
  and
• 23:31
  guys
• 23:31
  were
• 23:31
  receptive
• 23:32
  to
• 23:32
  it
• 23:32
  and,
• 23:33
  you
• 23:33
  know,
• 23:33
  maybe
• 23:33
  had
• 23:34
  a
• 23:34
  good
• 23:34
  relationship,
• 23:34
  we
• 23:34
  don't
• 23:35
  know
• 23:35
  a
• 23:35
  lot
• 23:35
  of
• 23:35
  the
• 23:35
  things
• 23:35
  that
• 23:35
  people
• 23:36
  talk
• 23:36
  about.
• 23:37
  We
• 23:37
  don't
• 23:37
  know
• 23:38
  what
• 23:38
  happens
• 23:38
  behind
• 23:38
  closed
• 23:39
  doors.
• 23:39
  We
• 23:39
  don't
• 23:39
  know
• 23:39
  what
• 23:39
  Brunson's
• 23:40
  relationship
• 23:40
  is
• 23:41
  with
• 23:41
  him.
• 23:41
  We
• 23:41
  don't
• 23:42
  know
• 23:42
  what
• 23:42
  his
• 23:42
  relationship
• 23:42
  is
• 23:42
  with
• 23:43
  the
• 23:43
  coaching
• 23:43
  staff
• 23:43
  now.
• 23:44
  We
• 23:44
  don't
• 23:45
  know.
• 23:45
  So
• 23:45
  a
• 23:45
  lot
• 23:45
  of
• 23:45
  things
• 23:45
  are
• 23:46
  speculation.
• 23:46
  There's
• 23:47
  stories
• 23:47
  you
• 23:47
  hear
• 23:47
  that
• 23:47
  you're
• 23:48
  not,
• 23:48
  you
• 23:49
  know,
• 23:49
  therefore.
• 23:50
  And
• 23:50
  maybe
• 23:50
  he
• 23:50
  had
• 23:51
  done
• 23:51
  some
• 23:51
  wrong
• 23:51
  in
• 23:51
  the
• 23:52
  past,
• 23:52
  but
• 23:52
  I
• 23:53
  just
• 23:53
  thought
• 23:53
  it
• 23:53
  was
• 23:53
  nice
• 23:54
  that
• 23:54
  he
• 23:54
  addressed
• 23:54
  the
• 23:55
  group.
• 23:55
  And
• 23:56
  the
• 23:56
  roommates
• 23:56
  pod
• 23:57
  is
• 23:57
  the
• 23:57
  one
• 23:57
  that
• 23:57
  I
• 23:57
  guess
• 23:57
  released
• 23:58
  that
• 23:58
  I
• 23:58
  don't
• 23:58
  know
• 23:58
  if
• 23:58
  they
• 23:58
  were
• 23:58
  going
• 23:58
  to
• 23:59
  release
• 23:59
  it
• 23:59
  unless
• 23:59
  they
• 23:59
  won,
• 24:00
  so
• 24:00
  now
• 24:01
  we
• 24:01
  get
• 24:01
  to
• 24:01
  watch
• 24:01
  it.
• 24:02
  But
• 24:02
  that
• 24:03
  was
• 24:03
  pretty
• 24:03
  cool
• 24:03
  to
• 24:03
  see.
• 24:04
  And
• 24:04
  I'm
• 24:04
  glad
• 24:05
  that,
• 24:05
  you
• 24:05
  know,
• 24:06
  he
• 24:06
  actually,
• 24:06
  when
• 24:06
  he
• 24:07
  addressed
• 24:07
  the
• 24:08
  team,
• 24:08
  the
• 24:08
  fans,
• 24:09
  right
• 24:09
  after
• 24:10
  they
• 24:10
  had
• 24:10
  won
• 24:10
  it,
• 24:11
  where
• 24:11
  he
• 24:11
  said,
• 24:11
  sorry
• 24:11
  it
• 24:11
  took
• 24:12
  that
• 24:12
  long,
• 24:13
  that's
• 24:13
  probably
• 24:13
  the
• 24:13
  right
• 24:13
  thing
• 24:13
  to
• 24:13
  say
• 24:14
  in
• 24:14
  that
• 24:14
  situation,
• 24:14
  right?
• 24:15
  I
• 24:15
  would
• 24:15
  think
• 24:15
  so.
• 24:16
  Granted,
• 24:17
  the
• 24:17
  first
• 24:17
  thing
• 24:17
  I
• 24:17
  thought,
• 24:18
  what
• 24:18
  I
• 24:18
  saw
• 24:18
  him
• 24:18
  was
• 24:18
  like,
• 24:19
  wow,
• 24:19
  he
• 24:19
  really
• 24:19
  looks
• 24:19
  like
• 24:20
  Gilbert
• 24:20
  Gottfried
• 24:20
  now.
• 24:21
  But
• 24:22
  for
• 24:22
  years
• 24:22
  it
• 24:23
  was,
• 24:23
  He's
• 24:23
  a
• 24:23
  meddler.
• 24:24
  He.
• 24:24
  He
• 24:24
  sticks
• 24:25
  his
• 24:25
  nose
• 24:25
  where
• 24:25
  it
• 24:25
  doesn't
• 24:26
  belong.
• 24:26
  He
• 24:26
  hires
• 24:27
  and
• 24:27
  fires
• 24:27
  people
• 24:28
  way
• 24:28
  too
• 24:28
  quickly,
• 24:29
  like,
• 24:29
  kind
• 24:29
  of
• 24:29
  like
• 24:29
  George
• 24:30
  Steinbrenner
• 24:30
  does
• 24:31
  and
• 24:32
  doesn't.
• 24:33
  Doesn't
• 24:33
  let.
• 24:33
  Let
• 24:34
  them
• 24:34
  cook.
• 24:34
  What.
• 24:35
  Not
• 24:36
  to
• 24:36
  sound
• 24:36
  super
• 24:37
  Gen
• 24:37
  Z
• 24:37
  cliche,
• 24:38
  but,
• 24:38
  yeah,
• 24:39
  that
• 24:39
  was
• 24:39
  one.
• 24:40
  I.
• 24:40
  I
• 24:40
  will
• 24:41
  admit,
• 24:41
  hand
• 24:41
  up,
• 24:42
  I
• 24:42
  have
• 24:42
  to
• 24:42
  eat
• 24:42
  crow
• 24:43
  on
• 24:43
  this.
• 24:43
  When
• 24:44
  they
• 24:44
  hired.
• 24:45
  When
• 24:45
  he
• 24:45
  hired
• 24:45
  Leon
• 24:46
  Rose
• 24:46
  several
• 24:47
  years
• 24:47
  ago,
• 24:47
  I
• 24:47
  thought
• 24:48
  that
• 24:48
  was
• 24:48
  going
• 24:48
  to
• 24:48
  be
• 24:48
  an
• 24:49
  absolute
• 24:50
  failure.
• 24:50
  Just
• 24:51
  like
• 24:51
  when
• 24:51
  the
• 24:51
  Mets
• 24:51
  hired
• 24:51
  Brody
• 24:52
  Van
• 24:52
  Wagenen
• 24:52
  as
• 24:52
  the
• 24:53
  general
• 24:53
  manager.
• 24:53
  I
• 24:54
  didn't
• 24:54
  think
• 24:54
  it
• 24:54
  was
• 24:54
  going
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  work
• 24:55
  because
• 24:55
  an
• 24:55
  agent
• 24:56
  being
• 24:56
  a
• 24:57
  GM
• 24:57
  just
• 24:57
  didn't
• 24:58
  seem
• 24:58
  like
• 24:58
  something
• 24:58
  that
• 24:58
  was
• 24:59
  a
• 24:59
  really
• 24:59
  wise
• 25:00
  decision.
• 25:00
  But
• 25:01
  Julian
• 25:02
  Rose's
• 25:02
  credit,
• 25:03
  he.
• 25:04
  He
• 25:04
  did
• 25:04
  the
• 25:04
  thing.
• 25:04
  He
• 25:05
  got
• 25:05
  the
• 25:05
  right
• 25:06
  people,
• 25:06
  got
• 25:07
  the
• 25:07
  right
• 25:07
  coaches,
• 25:08
  got
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  right
• 25:08
  personnel
• 25:09
  and
• 25:09
  it
• 25:10
  worked
• 25:10
  out.
• 25:10
  So
• 25:11
  props
• 25:11
  to
• 25:11
  James
• 25:11
  Dolan.
• 25:12
  And
• 25:12
  I
• 25:13
  know
• 25:13
  he's
• 25:13
  not
• 25:13
  listening,
• 25:14
  but
• 25:15
  there's
• 25:15
  a
• 25:15
  general
• 25:15
  manager
• 25:16
  for
• 25:16
  the
• 25:16
  other
• 25:17
  team
• 25:17
  you
• 25:17
  own
• 25:17
  that
• 25:18
  really
• 25:18
  needs
• 25:18
  to
• 25:18
  be
• 25:18
  fired.
• 25:19
  Do
• 25:19
  that,
• 25:21
  because
• 25:21
  I
• 25:21
  know
• 25:22
  you
• 25:22
  want
• 25:22
  the
• 25:22
  Rangers
• 25:23
  to
• 25:23
  experience
• 25:24
  what
• 25:25
  the
• 25:25
  Knicks
• 25:25
  had
• 25:25
  just
• 25:26
  went
• 25:26
  through
• 25:26
  and
• 25:27
  was
• 25:27
  able
• 25:28
  to
• 25:28
  do
• 25:28
  for
• 25:29
  their
• 25:29
  fan
• 25:29
  base.
• 25:30
  Yes,
• 25:30
  I'd
• 25:30
  be
• 25:31
  very
• 25:31
  happy.
• 25:31
  Like,
• 25:31
  I
• 25:32
  would
• 25:32
  love
• 25:32
  to
• 25:32
  see
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  Rangers
• 25:33
  watch
• 25:33
  party
• 25:33
  outside
• 25:33
  the
• 25:34
  Garden.
• 25:35
  Watching
• 25:35
  the
• 25:36
  clips
• 25:36
  from
• 25:36
  the
• 25:37
  watch
• 25:37
  parties
• 25:38
  throughout
• 25:38
  the
• 25:38
  entire
• 25:38
  play.
• 25:39
  Not
• 25:39
  even,
• 25:39
  just,
• 25:40
  not
• 25:40
  even
• 25:40
  the
• 25:40
  finals,
• 25:41
  just
• 25:41
  the
• 25:41
  entirety
• 25:42
  of
• 25:42
  the
• 25:42
  run.
• 25:43
  And
• 25:43
  seeing
• 25:44
  the
• 25:44
  people
• 25:44
  outside
• 25:44
  of
• 25:45
  MSG
• 25:46
  all
• 25:46
  just
• 25:46
  shouting
• 25:47
  news
• 25:47
  and
• 25:47
  seeing
• 25:48
  the
• 25:48
  parties
• 25:48
  in
• 25:49
  every
• 25:50
  neighborhood
• 25:50
  and
• 25:51
  all
• 25:51
  the
• 25:52
  streets
• 25:52
  packed
• 25:53
  like
• 25:53
  we
• 25:53
  were
• 25:53
  talking
• 25:53
  before
• 25:54
  the
• 25:54
  show.
• 25:55
  No
• 25:55
  team
• 25:56
  unites
• 25:57
  the
• 25:57
  city
• 25:57
  the
• 25:57
  way
• 25:58
  the
• 25:58
  Knicks
• 25:58
  would
• 25:59
  because.
• 26:01
  And
• 26:01
  not
• 26:01
  to,
• 26:02
  not
• 26:02
  to
• 26:02
  sound
• 26:03
  bad
• 26:03
  on
• 26:03
  the
• 26:03
  Nets,
• 26:04
  but
• 26:05
  not
• 26:05
  as
• 26:05
  many
• 26:05
  people
• 26:05
  care
• 26:06
  about
• 26:06
  them,
• 26:06
  this
• 26:07
  is,
• 26:07
  it
• 26:07
  is
• 26:08
  a
• 26:08
  Knicks
• 26:08
  city
• 26:09
  where
• 26:09
  there,
• 26:09
  where
• 26:09
  there
• 26:09
  is
• 26:10
  more
• 26:10
  of
• 26:10
  a
• 26:11
  distinctive
• 26:11
  break
• 26:12
  between
• 26:13
  the
• 26:13
  other
• 26:13
  teams
• 26:14
  in
• 26:14
  the
• 26:14
  other
• 26:15
  sports,
• 26:15
  where
• 26:15
  you
• 26:16
  have,
• 26:17
  you
• 26:17
  have
• 26:17
  generations
• 26:18
  of
• 26:18
  fans
• 26:18
  on
• 26:18
  both
• 26:19
  sides.
• 26:19
  Where
• 26:20
  it
• 26:20
  really
• 26:20
  is
• 26:21
  the
• 26:21
  Knicks
• 26:21
  are
• 26:21
  nobody
• 26:23
  for
• 26:23
  basketball.
• 26:24
  Yeah.
• 26:24
  And
• 26:24
  you
• 26:24
  know
• 26:25
  what?
• 26:25
  It's
• 26:25
  something
• 26:25
  I
• 26:25
  mentioned
• 26:26
  to
• 26:26
  you
• 26:26
  earlier.
• 26:28
  Nothing
• 26:28
  really
• 26:29
  moves
• 26:29
  the
• 26:29
  needle
• 26:29
  like
• 26:30
  hoops
• 26:30
  here.
• 26:30
  I
• 26:31
  mean,
• 26:31
  I'm
• 26:31
  not
• 26:32
  just
• 26:32
  because
• 26:32
  I'm
• 26:33
  a
• 26:33
  hoops
• 26:33
  head
• 26:33
  and
• 26:33
  I've
• 26:34
  loved
• 26:34
  the
• 26:34
  game
• 26:34
  forever,
• 26:36
  I
• 26:36
  want
• 26:36
  to
• 26:36
  try
• 26:37
  to
• 26:37
  take
• 26:37
  my
• 26:37
  bias
• 26:37
  out
• 26:38
  of
• 26:38
  it.
• 26:38
  I
• 26:38
  know
• 26:38
  there
• 26:39
  was
• 26:39
  a
• 26:39
  great
• 26:39
  run
• 26:40
  for
• 26:40
  the
• 26:40
  Yankees
• 26:41
  when
• 26:41
  we
• 26:41
  were
• 26:41
  younger.
• 26:42
  I
• 26:42
  know
• 26:42
  that
• 26:42
  the
• 26:42
  Giants
• 26:43
  won
• 26:43
  a
• 26:43
  couple
• 26:43
  Super
• 26:43
  Bowls
• 26:44
  when
• 26:45
  we
• 26:45
  were
• 26:45
  teenagers
• 26:45
  into
• 26:46
  our
• 26:46
  early
• 26:46
  college
• 26:47
  years.
• 26:47
  I
• 26:48
  don't
• 26:48
  want
• 26:48
  to
• 26:48
  take
• 26:48
  away
• 26:49
  from
• 26:49
  the
• 26:49
  other
• 26:49
  professional
• 26:50
  sports
• 26:50
  in
• 26:50
  town,
• 26:52
  but
• 26:52
  less
• 26:53
  competition,
• 26:53
  right?
• 26:54
  So
• 26:54
  you
• 26:54
  talk
• 26:54
  about
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  unite
• 26:55
  factor
• 26:56
  and
• 26:56
  then
• 26:56
  just
• 26:56
  the
• 26:57
  Mecca,
• 26:57
  right?
• 26:57
  Like
• 26:58
  everybody
• 26:58
  hears
• 26:58
  about
• 26:58
  the
• 26:59
  Mecca
• 26:59
  and
• 26:59
  you
• 26:59
  thought,
• 27:00
  well,
• 27:00
  if
• 27:00
  it
• 27:00
  is
• 27:01
  the
• 27:01
  center
• 27:01
  of
• 27:01
  the
• 27:01
  basketball
• 27:02
  universe,
• 27:02
  we
• 27:02
  should
• 27:02
  probably
• 27:03
  win
• 27:03
  at
• 27:03
  some
• 27:03
  point.
• 27:04
  Right.
• 27:04
  Like,
• 27:04
  we
• 27:04
  should
• 27:04
  probably
• 27:05
  play
• 27:06
  at
• 27:06
  a
• 27:06
  high
• 27:06
  enough
• 27:06
  level
• 27:07
  where
• 27:07
  people
• 27:07
  could
• 27:07
  understand
• 27:08
  why
• 27:08
  we're
• 27:09
  referring
• 27:09
  to
• 27:09
  it
• 27:09
  as
• 27:10
  that.
• 27:10
  Talk
• 27:11
  about
• 27:11
  West
• 27:11
  4th
• 27:12
  Rucker,
• 27:13
  just,
• 27:13
  you
• 27:14
  know,
• 27:14
  some
• 27:14
  of
• 27:14
  the
• 27:14
  movies
• 27:15
  and
• 27:15
  a
• 27:16
  basketball
• 27:16
  hoop
• 27:16
  at
• 27:17
  every
• 27:17
  corner.
• 27:17
  And
• 27:18
  I've
• 27:18
  always
• 27:18
  referred
• 27:18
  to
• 27:19
  it
• 27:19
  as
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  heartbeat
• 27:19
  of
• 27:19
  the
• 27:20
  city.
• 27:20
  And
• 27:21
  you
• 27:21
  don't
• 27:21
  need
• 27:21
  a
• 27:21
  lot
• 27:21
  to
• 27:21
  play.
• 27:22
  Think
• 27:22
  about
• 27:22
  all
• 27:22
  the
• 27:22
  other
• 27:23
  equipment
• 27:23
  involved
• 27:24
  in,
• 27:24
  you
• 27:25
  know,
• 27:25
  all
• 27:25
  the
• 27:25
  other
• 27:25
  sports
• 27:26
  that
• 27:26
  are,
• 27:26
  that
• 27:26
  are
• 27:26
  popular
• 27:27
  and
• 27:27
  just
• 27:27
  roll
• 27:28
  the
• 27:28
  ball
• 27:28
  out.
• 27:29
  And
• 27:29
  now
• 27:29
  everyone's
• 27:30
  practicing
• 27:30
  their
• 27:30
  Jalen
• 27:31
  Brunson,
• 27:31
  you
• 27:31
  know,
• 27:32
  step
• 27:32
  throughs
• 27:33
  and
• 27:33
  the
• 27:33
  kids
• 27:34
  that
• 27:34
  love
• 27:34
  the
• 27:34
  hoops
• 27:34
  and
• 27:35
  not
• 27:35
  having
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  see
• 27:35
  the
• 27:35
  LeBrons
• 27:36
  and
• 27:36
  Curry
• 27:36
  jersey
• 27:37
  that
• 27:37
  you
• 27:37
  had
• 27:37
  seen
• 27:37
  10,
• 27:38
  15
• 27:38
  years
• 27:38
  ago.
• 27:39
  You
• 27:39
  know,
• 27:39
  I
• 27:39
  work
• 27:39
  in
• 27:39
  basketball.
• 27:40
  I
• 27:40
  train
• 27:40
  kids
• 27:41
  So
• 27:41
  I
• 27:41
  see
• 27:42
  a
• 27:42
  lot
• 27:43
  of
• 27:43
  what
• 27:44
  portraying
• 27:44
  now
• 27:44
  and
• 27:45
  the
• 27:45
  pride
• 27:45
  now
• 27:46
  that
• 27:47
  is
• 27:47
  in
• 27:47
  New
• 27:47
  York
• 27:48
  because
• 27:48
  of
• 27:48
  this
• 27:49
  team
• 27:49
  and
• 27:49
  the
• 27:49
  energy.
• 27:50
  I,
• 27:51
  as
• 27:51
  I
• 27:51
  told
• 27:51
  you
• 27:52
  too,
• 27:52
  went
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  the
• 27:52
  Larry
• 27:53
  Johnson
• 27:53
  four
• 27:53
  point
• 27:54
  play
• 27:54
  game
• 27:54
  as
• 27:54
  a
• 27:54
  kid
• 27:55
  and
• 27:55
  all
• 27:55
  I
• 27:55
  could
• 27:55
  think
• 27:56
  about
• 27:56
  that
• 27:56
  week
• 27:56
  at
• 27:56
  school
• 27:57
  was
• 27:57
  that
• 27:58
  pop,
• 27:58
  that
• 27:58
  sound.
• 27:59
  I
• 27:59
  covered
• 27:59
  my
• 27:59
  ears.
• 28:00
  I
• 28:00
  was
• 28:00
  a
• 28:00
  young
• 28:00
  kid
• 28:01
  at
• 28:01
  the
• 28:01
  time
• 28:01
  and
• 28:01
  I
• 28:01
  said,
• 28:02
  this
• 28:02
  is
• 28:02
  amazing.
• 28:03
  I'm
• 28:03
  addicted
• 28:03
  to
• 28:03
  this.
• 28:04
  I
• 28:04
  was
• 28:05
  running
• 28:05
  around
• 28:06
  yelling
• 28:06
  the
• 28:06
  starting
• 28:07
  lineup.
• 28:07
  So
• 28:07
  I
• 28:07
  heard
• 28:07
  Ward
• 28:08
  on
• 28:08
  here
• 28:08
  before
• 28:09
  Charlie
• 28:09
  Ward,
• 28:09
  Chris
• 28:10
  Childs,
• 28:11
  Allen,
• 28:11
  Houston,
• 28:11
  Sprewell
• 28:12
  can
• 28:12
  be.
• 28:12
  I
• 28:13
  remember
• 28:13
  being
• 28:13
  eight
• 28:13
  or
• 28:14
  nine
• 28:14
  and
• 28:14
  just
• 28:14
  fascinated
• 28:16
  by
• 28:16
  that
• 28:16
  team
• 28:16
  that
• 28:17
  made
• 28:17
  the
• 28:17
  run.
• 28:17
  And
• 28:17
  I
• 28:17
  do
• 28:18
  think
• 28:18
  it
• 28:18
  played
• 28:18
  a
• 28:19
  large
• 28:19
  role
• 28:19
  for
• 28:19
  me,
• 28:20
  at
• 28:20
  least
• 28:20
  in
• 28:21
  how
• 28:21
  much
• 28:21
  I
• 28:21
  started
• 28:21
  to
• 28:22
  love
• 28:22
  basketball
• 28:23
  because
• 28:23
  of
• 28:23
  the
• 28:23
  Knicks
• 28:24
  and
• 28:24
  because
• 28:25
  of
• 28:25
  Madison
• 28:25
  Square
• 28:26
  Garden.
• 28:26
  I
• 28:26
  just
• 28:27
  for
• 28:27
  so
• 28:28
  many
• 28:28
  years,
• 28:28
  even
• 28:28
  though
• 28:28
  we
• 28:29
  still
• 28:29
  loved
• 28:29
  it,
• 28:30
  we
• 28:30
  couldn't
• 28:31
  recapture
• 28:32
  that
• 28:32
  feeling.
• 28:32
  And
• 28:32
  Brunson
• 28:33
  brought
• 28:33
  it
• 28:33
  back
• 28:33
  obviously
• 28:34
  a
• 28:34
  few
• 28:34
  years
• 28:34
  ago,
• 28:35
  but
• 28:36
  now
• 28:36
  it's
• 28:37
  even
• 28:38
  exemplified
• 28:38
  that
• 28:39
  level
• 28:39
  of
• 28:39
  99
• 28:40
  because
• 28:40
  they
• 28:40
  actually
• 28:40
  finished
• 28:41
  the
• 28:41
  job.
• 28:42
  But
• 28:42
  again,
• 28:43
  the
• 28:44
  2000
• 28:44
  and
• 28:44
  20s,
• 28:46
  we
• 28:46
  look
• 28:46
  back
• 28:46
  at
• 28:46
  this
• 28:46
  run,
• 28:47
  we
• 28:47
  no
• 28:47
  longer
• 28:47
  have
• 28:48
  to
• 28:48
  say
• 28:49
  what
• 28:50
  if
• 28:50
  or
• 28:51
  that
• 28:51
  was
• 28:52
  so
• 28:52
  close
• 28:52
  or
• 28:53
  all
• 28:53
  these
• 28:53
  nightmare
• 28:54
  stories
• 28:54
  you
• 28:55
  hear
• 28:55
  about
• 28:55
  a
• 28:55
  finger

  I

• 30:41
  it
• 30:41

• 30:42
  I

  want
• 30:42
  to
• 30:42
  wish
• 30:42
  a
• 30:43
  happy
• 30:43
  father's
• 30:43

  all
• 30:44
  the
• 30:44

• 30:44

• 30:45
  there.
• 30:45
  You
• 30:45
  know,
• 30:46
  I
• 30:46
  think
• 30:46
  for
• 30:46
  the
• 30:46
  first
• 30:47
  time
• 30:47
  in
• 30:47
  like
• 30:47
  three
• 30:47
  years,
• 30:47
  we
• 30:47
  actually
• 30:48
  got
• 30:48
  like
• 30:48
  a
• 30:48
  really
• 30:48
  nice
• 30:48
  Father's
• 30:49
  Day
• 30:49
  so
• 30:49
  you
• 30:49
  could
• 30:49
  actually
• 30:49
  be
• 30:50
  outside
• 30:50
  and,
• 30:50
  and
• 30:50
  it
• 30:51
  didn't
• 30:51
  suck.
• 30:52
  So,
• 30:53
  like,
• 30:53
  that
• 30:53
  definitely
• 30:53
  was
• 30:54
  definitely
• 30:54
  nice
• 30:54
  to,
• 30:55
  you
• 30:55
  know,
• 30:55

• 30:56
  And,
• 30:56

• 30:56
  know,
• 30:57

  one
• 30:58
  of

  you
• 31:41
  were
• 31:41
  in
• 31:41
  the
• 31:41
  city

  So
• 31:48
  I

  started
• 31:48
  going
• 31:49
  to
• 31:49
  a
• 31:49
  place
• 31:49
  called

  Diamantes
• 31:51
  after,
• 31:52

  with,
• 31:53

• 31:55
  on

  Knickerbocker
• 31:56
  Banter,
• 31:57
  you
• 31:57
  know,
• 31:57
  I've
• 31:57
  gotten
• 31:58
  more
• 31:59
  connected
• 31:59
  with
• 31:59
  the
• 31:59
  Knicks
• 32:00
  community
• 32:01
  and
• 32:01
  they've
• 32:01
  been
• 32:01
  really
• 32:02
  great.
• 32:02
  I
• 32:02
  mean,
• 32:02
  there's
• 32:03
  so
• 32:03
  many
• 32:04
  die
• 32:04
  hard,
• 32:05
  you
• 32:06
  know,
• 32:06
  genuine
• 32:06
  people
• 32:07
  that,
• 32:07
  and
• 32:08
  I,
• 32:08
  I,
• 32:08
  I've,
• 32:09
  I've
• 32:09
  been
• 32:09
  on
• 32:09
  the
• 32:09
  record
• 32:10
  saying,
• 32:10
  if,
• 32:10
  you
• 32:11
  know,
• 32:11
  I
• 32:11
  Woke
• 32:11
  up
• 32:11
  at
• 32:11
  6am
• 32:12
  and
• 32:12
  went
• 32:12
  to
• 32:12
  bed
• 32:13
  at
• 32:13
  10
• 32:13
  and
• 32:13
  it
• 32:13
  was
• 32:13
  nothing
• 32:14
  but
• 32:14
  talking
• 32:14
  hoops.
• 32:15
  That's
• 32:15
  a
• 32:15
  quality
• 32:16
  day
• 32:16
  for
• 32:16
  me.
• 32:16
  And
• 32:17
  I
• 32:17
  think
• 32:17
  just
• 32:18
  being
• 32:18
  around
• 32:18
  people
• 32:19
  that
• 32:19
  are
• 32:19
  like
• 32:19
  that
• 32:20
  and,
• 32:21
  and
• 32:21
  that
• 32:21
  share
• 32:21
  that
• 32:22
  same
• 32:22
  love
• 32:22
  for
• 32:22
  it,
• 32:23
  it's
• 32:24
  like
• 32:24
  you
• 32:24
  find,
• 32:24
  you
• 32:24
  know,
• 32:25
  not
• 32:25
  to
• 32:25
  sound
• 32:26
  cliche
• 32:27
  again,
• 32:27
  you
• 32:28
  find
• 32:28
  your
• 32:28
  people,
• 32:28
  right?
• 32:29
  You
• 32:29
  find
• 32:29
  your
• 32:30
  people
• 32:30
  that
• 32:30
  you
• 32:30
  want
• 32:30
  to
• 32:31
  be
• 32:31
  around
• 32:31
  and
• 32:32
  experience
• 32:34
  these
• 32:34
  things
• 32:34
  with.
• 32:35
  And
• 32:36
  I
• 32:36
  know
• 32:36
  you
• 32:36
  mentioned
• 32:37
  your
• 32:37
  dad
• 32:37
  before.
• 32:39
  I
• 32:39
  wanted
• 32:39
  to
• 32:39
  close
• 32:40
  and
• 32:40
  maybe
• 32:40
  later
• 32:40
  on
• 32:41
  I'll
• 32:41
  get
• 32:41
  into
• 32:42
  what
• 32:42
  game
• 32:42
  five

  the
• 32:43
  clincher
• 32:44
  with

  But
• 32:45
  yes,
• 32:45
  games
• 32:45
  one
• 32:46
  and
• 32:46
  two,
• 32:47
  I
• 32:47
  was
• 32:47
  in
• 32:47
  the
• 32:47
  city
• 32:48
  and
• 32:48
  the
• 32:48
  emotion
• 32:50
  after
• 32:50
  two,
• 32:50
  because
• 32:51
  game
• 32:51
  one
• 32:51
  was
• 32:51
  a
• 32:51
  great
• 32:52
  win,
• 32:53
  right?
• 32:53
  You
• 32:53
  had
• 32:55
  the
• 32:55
  Knicks
• 32:55
  making
• 32:55
  a
• 32:55
  run.
• 32:56
  They
• 32:56
  were
• 32:57
  up
• 32:57
  like
• 32:57
  eight
• 32:57
  or
• 32:57
  nine
• 32:58
  in
• 32:58
  the
• 32:58
  fourth.
• 32:58
  Then
• 32:58
  the
• 32:59
  spurs
• 32:59
  closed
• 32:59
  it
• 33:00
  and
• 33:01
  then
• 33:01
  Brunson
• 33:02
  hit
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  three
• 33:03
  in
• 33:03
  the
• 33:03
  corner
• 33:03
  to
• 33:04
  give
• 33:04
  them
• 33:04
  a
• 33:04
  lead.
• 33:04
  So
• 33:05
  some
• 33:05
  of
• 33:05
  these
• 33:05
  games
• 33:06
  blur
• 33:06
  together.
• 33:06
  Like
• 33:07
  you
• 33:07
  just
• 33:07
  always
• 33:08
  felt
• 33:08
  like
• 33:08
  the
• 33:08
  Knicks
• 33:09
  made
• 33:09
  their
• 33:09
  run
• 33:09
  when
• 33:09
  they
• 33:09
  needed
• 33:10
  to
• 33:10
  make
• 33:10
  their
• 33:10
  run
• 33:10
  in
• 33:10
  the
• 33:10
  fourth
• 33:11
  quarter,
• 33:11
  but
• 33:12
  not
• 33:12
  after
• 33:12
  the
• 33:12
  Knicks
• 33:13
  had
• 33:13
  to
• 33:13
  overcome
• 33:13
  and
• 33:14
  you
• 33:14
  know,
• 33:14
  go,
• 33:15
  go
• 33:15
  uphill
• 33:15
  climb
• 33:16
  and
• 33:16
  get
• 33:16
  back
• 33:17
  into
• 33:17
  games.
• 33:17
  But
• 33:18
  yeah,
• 33:18
  definitely
• 33:19
  watch
• 33:19
  the
• 33:19
  first
• 33:20
  two
• 33:22
  at
• 33:22
  Diamantes
• 33:23
  in
• 33:23
  the
• 33:23
  city
• 33:24
  and
• 33:25
  there
• 33:25
  wasn't
• 33:25
  much
• 33:26
  breathing
• 33:26
  room
• 33:26
  in
• 33:27
  there.
• 33:28
  The
• 33:28
  bathroom
• 33:28
  line
• 33:29
  was
• 33:29
  probably
• 33:29
  about
• 33:29
  a
• 33:29
  quarter
• 33:30
  long,
• 33:31
  but
• 33:31
  it
• 33:32
  was
• 33:32
  so
• 33:32
  worth
• 33:32
  it.
• 33:33
  Like
• 33:33
  I
• 33:33
  said,
• 33:33
  there's
• 33:34
  so
• 33:34
  many
• 33:34
  things
• 33:35
  and
• 33:35
  I
• 33:35
  told
• 33:35
  you
• 33:35
  I
• 33:35
  want
• 33:36
  to
• 33:36
  write
• 33:36
  about
• 33:36
  this
• 33:36
  and
• 33:36
  I
• 33:37
  will.
• 33:37
  It's
• 33:37
  one
• 33:37
  of
• 33:37
  my
• 33:38
  goals
• 33:38
  to
• 33:38
  have
• 33:38
  that
• 33:38
  the
• 33:38
  project
• 33:39
  of
• 33:39
  the
• 33:39
  season.
• 33:40
  But
• 33:40
  one
• 33:41
  of
• 33:41
  the
• 33:41
  things
• 33:41
  you
• 33:41
  look
• 33:42
  back
• 33:42
  on
• 33:42
  and
• 33:43
  it's
• 33:43
  the
• 33:44
  environments
• 33:45
  that
• 33:45
  this
• 33:45
  created
• 33:46
  and
• 33:47
  the
• 33:47
  friendships
• 33:48
  and
• 33:49
  you
• 33:49
  know,
• 33:49
  the
• 33:49
  moments
• 33:50
  of
• 33:50
  celebration
• 33:52
  for
• 33:52
  things
• 33:53
  that
• 33:53
  we
• 33:53
  haven't
• 33:53
  seen,
• 33:54
  right?
• 33:54
  Like
• 33:55
  last
• 33:55
  time
• 33:55
  the
• 33:55
  Knicks
• 33:55
  were
• 33:55
  in
• 33:55
  the
• 33:56
  finals
• 33:56
  in
• 33:56
  99,
• 33:57
  they
• 33:57
  lost
• 33:57
  in
• 33:58
  five
• 33:58
  games
• 33:58
  and
• 33:58
  they
• 33:58
  were
• 33:58
  down
• 33:59
  20
• 33:59
  right
• 33:59
  away.
• 34:00
  So
• 34:00
  I
• 34:00
  remember
• 34:01
  being
• 34:01
  outside
• 34:03
  near
• 34:03
  the
• 34:04
  Garden
• 34:04
  after
• 34:05
  they
• 34:05
  went
• 34:05
  up
• 34:05
  20
• 34:06
  and
• 34:06
  there
• 34:06
  are
• 34:06
  grown
• 34:07
  men
• 34:07
  in
• 34:07
  their
• 34:07
  50s
• 34:08
  weeping
• 34:09
  like,
• 34:09
  and
• 34:10
  I
• 34:10
  know
• 34:10
  that
• 34:10
  the
• 34:10
  job.
• 34:10
  Listen,
• 34:11
  not
• 34:11
  everybody,
• 34:12
  not
• 34:12
  all
• 34:12
  the
• 34:12
  fans
• 34:12
  have
• 34:12
  to
• 34:12
  be
• 34:13
  Kobe
• 34:13
  Bryant,
• 34:13
  right?
• 34:14
  Like,
• 34:14
  not
• 34:14
  everyone.
• 34:14
  The
• 34:15
  players
• 34:15
  were
• 34:15
  stoic
• 34:16
  and
• 34:16
  Bridges
• 34:16
  had
• 34:16
  a
• 34:17
  great
• 34:17
  postgame
• 34:18
  interview
• 34:18
  after
• 34:19
  they
• 34:19
  won
• 34:19
  game
• 34:19
  two.
• 34:20
  But
• 34:20
  some
• 34:21
  of
• 34:21
  the
• 34:21
  fans
• 34:21
  were
• 34:21
  starting
• 34:21
  to
• 34:22
  lose
• 34:22
  it
• 34:22
  because
• 34:23
  this
• 34:23
  was
• 34:23
  uncharted
• 34:24
  territory
• 34:24
  for
• 34:25
  them.
• 34:25
  And
• 34:26
  you
• 34:26
  know,
• 34:27
  let's
• 34:27
  talk
• 34:27
  about
• 34:27
  for
• 34:27
  a
• 34:28
  second.
• 34:28
  You

• 34:36
  thought
• 34:36
  come
• 34:36
  from?
• 34:37
  Was
• 34:37
  that
• 34:37
  something
• 34:37
  you
• 34:38
  figured
• 34:38
  you
• 34:38
  would
• 34:38
  do,
• 34:39
  like
• 34:39
  starting
• 34:39
  at
• 34:39
  the
• 34:39
  playoffs?
• 34:40
  Or
• 34:40
  was
• 34:40
  that
• 34:40
  like
• 34:40
  something
• 34:41
  like
• 34:41
  from

  beginning,
• 34:42
  like

  I

  Well,

  I
• 34:46
  mentioned
• 34:46
  you
• 34:46
  getting
• 34:47
  more
• 34:47
  involved
• 34:47
  in
• 34:47
  the
• 34:48
  community
• 34:49
  with
• 34:49
  the
• 34:49
  Knicks
• 34:49
  and
• 34:49
  a
• 34:49
  lot
• 34:50
  of

  that

• 34:50
  with

  And

  And

  you
• 34:59
  know,
• 34:59
  progressed
• 35:00
  here,
• 35:01
  the
• 35:01
  written
• 35:02
  word
• 35:02
  has
• 35:02
  excited
• 35:03
  me
• 35:03
  just
• 35:03
  as
• 35:03
  much
• 35:03
  as
• 35:03
  the
• 35:04
  spoken,
• 35:04
  which
• 35:04
  if
• 35:04
  you
• 35:04
  told
• 35:05
  17
• 35:05
  year
• 35:05
  old
• 35:05
  me
• 35:06
  that
• 35:06
  he
• 35:06
  would
• 35:06
  have
• 35:06
  looked
• 35:06
  at
• 35:06
  you
• 35:06
  like
• 35:07
  you
• 35:07
  were
• 35:07
  nuts.
• 35:07
  When
• 35:08
  I
• 35:08
  was
• 35:08
  trying
• 35:08
  to
• 35:08
  get
• 35:08
  through
• 35:09
  with
• 35:09
  essays
• 35:09
  in
• 35:09
  high
• 35:09
  school
• 35:10
  and
• 35:10
  college.
• 35:10
  So
• 35:11
  it's
• 35:11
  funny
• 35:11
  that
• 35:11
  that's
• 35:11
  where
• 35:12
  my
• 35:12
  life
• 35:12
  is
• 35:12
  at
• 35:12
  now,
• 35:12
  where
• 35:13
  in
• 35:13
  my
• 35:13
  30s,
• 35:13
  I'm
• 35:13
  like,
• 35:14
  I
• 35:14
  can't
• 35:14
  wait
• 35:14
  to
• 35:14
  pick
• 35:15
  up
• 35:15
  a
• 35:15
  pen
• 35:15
  and
• 35:15
  describe
• 35:16
  what
• 35:16
  had
• 35:16
  happened
• 35:16
  or
• 35:17
  get
• 35:17
  on
• 35:17
  Twitter
• 35:17
  and
• 35:18
  describe
• 35:18
  what
• 35:18
  had
• 35:18
  happened.
• 35:19
  But
• 35:19
  to
• 35:19
  start
• 35:19
  this
• 35:19
  season,
• 35:20
  I
• 35:20
  had,
• 35:20
  I
• 35:20
  had
• 35:21
  made
• 35:21
  the
• 35:21
  decision,
• 35:21
  hey,
• 35:22
  I
• 35:22
  don't
• 35:22
  know
• 35:23
  what
• 35:23
  this
• 35:23
  is
• 35:23
  going
• 35:23
  to
• 35:23
  look
• 35:23
  like,
• 35:23
  but
• 35:24
  I
• 35:24
  want
• 35:24
  to
• 35:24
  make
• 35:24
  sure
• 35:24
  that
• 35:25
  I
• 35:25
  document
• 35:25
  this.
• 35:26
  The
• 35:26
  feeling
• 35:27
  the
• 35:27
  season
• 35:27
  was
• 35:28
  feeling

  special

  expectations
• 35:32
  were
• 35:33
  through
• 35:33
  the
• 35:33
  roof.
• 35:34
  I
• 35:34
  had
• 35:34
  gotten
• 35:34
  the
• 35:35
  unbelievable
• 35:35
  opportunity
• 35:36
  that

• 35:45
  over
• 35:45
  the
• 35:45
  place.
• 35:46
  And
• 35:46
  then,
• 35:46
  and
• 35:46
  then
• 35:47
  to
• 35:47
  me,
• 35:47
  the
• 35:47
  bucket
• 35:47
  list
• 35:48
  interview,
• 35:48
  which
• 35:48
  was
• 35:48
  Mike
• 35:49
  Breen,
• 35:50
  so
• 35:51
  that
• 35:51
  goes
• 35:52
  without
• 35:52
  saying,
• 35:52
  is
• 35:52
  the
• 35:53
  voice
• 35:53
  of
• 35:53
  our
• 35:53
  generation
• 35:55
  who
• 35:55
  had
• 35:55
  some
• 35:55
  incredible
• 35:56
  calls.
• 35:56
  And
• 35:56
  I
• 35:56
  reached
• 35:56
  out
• 35:57
  to
• 35:57
  him
• 35:57
  and
• 35:57
  let
• 35:57
  him
• 35:57
  know,
• 35:57
  hey,
• 35:58
  you
• 35:58
  know,
• 35:58
  goosebumps
• 35:59
  for
• 36:00
  their
• 36:01
  life
• 36:01
  isn't
• 36:01
  perfect,
• 36:01
  but
• 36:02
  there
• 36:02
  are
• 36:02
  perfect
• 36:02
  moments.
• 36:03
  When
• 36:03
  he
• 36:03
  said
• 36:03
  that,
• 36:03
  I
• 36:03
  couldn't
• 36:04
  help
• 36:04
  but
• 36:04
  get
• 36:04
  emotional.
• 36:05
  So
• 36:05
  when
• 36:05
  I
• 36:06
  started
• 36:06
  getting
• 36:06
  those
• 36:06
  interviews,
• 36:08
  then
• 36:08
  I
• 36:08
  took
• 36:08
  it
• 36:09
  to
• 36:09
  another
• 36:09
  level
• 36:09
  where
• 36:09
  after
• 36:10
  every
• 36:10
  game
• 36:10
  I
• 36:10
  did
• 36:10
  the
• 36:11
  write
• 36:11
  ups
• 36:12
  and
• 36:12
  tried
• 36:13
  to
• 36:13
  channel
• 36:13
  the,
• 36:14
  you
• 36:14
  know,
• 36:14
  some
• 36:15
  of
• 36:15
  the
• 36:15
  great
• 36:15
  beat
• 36:15
  writers
• 36:16
  that
• 36:16
  this
• 36:16
  Knicks
• 36:16
  team
• 36:16
  has
• 36:17
  shout
• 36:17
  out
• 36:17
  to
• 36:17
  Steve
• 36:17
  Popper,
• 36:18
  who
• 36:18
  was
• 36:18
  kind
• 36:18
  enough
• 36:19
  to
• 36:19
  be
• 36:19
  part
• 36:19
  of
• 36:19
  my
• 36:19
  program
• 36:20
  as
• 36:20
  well,
• 36:20
  who,
• 36:20
  who
• 36:21
  writes
• 36:21
  for
• 36:21
  Newsday.
• 36:21
  And
• 36:21
  I
• 36:22
  told
• 36:22
  him
• 36:22
  not
• 36:22
  to
• 36:22
  make
• 36:22
  them
• 36:22
  feel
• 36:22
  old,
• 36:23
  but
• 36:23
  I
• 36:23
  used
• 36:24
  to
• 36:24
  have
• 36:24
  the
• 36:24
  Fruity
• 36:24
  Pebbles
• 36:25
  and
• 36:25
  Captain
• 36:25
  Crunch
• 36:25
  when
• 36:25
  I
• 36:26
  was
• 36:26
  9
• 36:26
  or
• 36:26
  10
• 36:26
  years
• 36:26
  old
• 36:27
  and
• 36:27
  flip
• 36:28
  through
• 36:28
  Newsday
• 36:28
  and
• 36:29
  say,
• 36:29
  let's
• 36:29
  get
• 36:29
  right
• 36:29
  to
• 36:29
  the
• 36:30
  back
• 36:30
  page
• 36:31
  and
• 36:31
  read
• 36:31
  about
• 36:31
  the
• 36:32
  Knicks.
• 36:32
  So
• 36:32
  I've
• 36:33
  been
• 36:33
  inspired
• 36:33
  by
• 36:33
  a
• 36:34
  lot
• 36:34
  of
• 36:34
  people
• 36:35
  to
• 36:35
  not
• 36:36
  only
• 36:36
  podcast,
• 36:37
  not
• 36:37
  only
• 36:37
  jump
• 36:37
  on
• 36:38
  the
• 36:38
  IG
• 36:38
  lives,
• 36:39
  but
• 36:40
  to
• 36:40
  write.
• 36:41
  And
• 36:41
  I
• 36:41
  think
• 36:42
  it
• 36:42
  also
• 36:42
  was
• 36:42
  a
• 36:42
  good
• 36:42
  way
• 36:43
  to
• 36:43
  separate
• 36:43
  yourself
• 36:43
  in
• 36:44
  this
• 36:44
  field
• 36:44
  of
• 36:44
  what
• 36:44
  I've
• 36:45
  been
• 36:45
  told
• 36:45
  is
• 36:46
  that
• 36:46
  the
• 36:46
  more
• 36:46
  skill
• 36:47
  you
• 36:47
  have,
• 36:47
  the
• 36:47
  better,
• 36:48
  the
• 36:48
  more
• 36:48
  you
• 36:48
  work
• 36:49
  on
• 36:49
  your
• 36:49
  craft,
• 36:49
  the
• 36:49
  better.
• 36:50
  And
• 36:50
  so
• 36:50
  I
• 36:51
  started
• 36:51
  reading
• 36:52
  all
• 36:52
  these
• 36:52
  great
• 36:52
  people
• 36:53
  that
• 36:53
  were
• 36:53
  covering
• 36:53
  this
• 36:54
  team
• 36:54
  that
• 36:54
  were
• 36:55
  covering
• 36:55
  the
• 36:55
  game.
• 36:55
  And
• 36:56
  then
• 36:56
  I
• 36:56
  kind
• 36:56
  of
• 36:56
  formulated
• 36:57
  into
• 36:57
  my
• 36:57
  own
• 36:58
  little
• 36:58
  style
• 36:58
  here,
• 36:59
  and
• 36:59
  I
• 36:59
  told
• 36:59
  you
• 36:59
  before
• 36:59
  the
• 37:00
  show
• 37:00
  as
• 37:00
  well,
• 37:01
  I
• 37:01
  started
• 37:01
  to
• 37:01
  test
• 37:02
  some
• 37:02
  things
• 37:02
  out.
• 37:02
  Let
• 37:02
  me
• 37:03
  tell
• 37:03
  this
• 37:03
  story
• 37:03
  about,
• 37:04
  you
• 37:04
  know,
• 37:04
  someone
• 37:04
  I
• 37:05
  brought
• 37:05
  on
• 37:05
  the
• 37:05
  show.
• 37:05
  Let
• 37:05
  me
• 37:05
  tell
• 37:06
  this
• 37:06
  story
• 37:06
  about
• 37:06
  my
• 37:07
  dad,
• 37:07
  or
• 37:07
  let
• 37:07
  me
• 37:07
  tell
• 37:07
  you
• 37:08
  how
• 37:08
  much
• 37:08
  I
• 37:09
  love
• 37:09
  the
• 37:09
  game
• 37:09
  and
• 37:09
  why.
• 37:10
  And
• 37:11
  people
• 37:11
  responded
• 37:11
  well
• 37:12
  to
• 37:12
  it.
• 37:12
  So
• 37:12
  it,
• 37:13
  it
• 37:13
  kind
• 37:13
  of
• 37:13
  lit
• 37:13
  a
• 37:13
  fire
• 37:13
  under
• 37:14
  me
• 37:14
  to
• 37:14
  kind
• 37:14
  of
• 37:14
  put
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  whole
• 37:15
  thing
• 37:15
  together
• 37:15
  and
• 37:16
  it
• 37:16
  ended
• 37:16
  in
• 37:16
  a
• 37:16
  championship.
• 37:17
  So
• 37:17
  now
• 37:17
  everybody
• 37:17
  and
• 37:18
  their
• 37:18
  mother
• 37:19
  is
• 37:19
  going

• 37:19
  you,
• 37:20
  be
• 37:20
  wanting
• 37:21

• 37:21
  do
• 37:21
  something
• 37:22
  like
• 37:22
  this.
• 37:22
  But
• 37:22
  for
• 37:23
  me,
• 37:23
  it's
• 37:24
  about
• 37:24
  experience.
• 37:25
  It's
• 37:25
  about
• 37:26
  kind
• 37:26
  of
• 37:26
  getting
• 37:26
  my
• 37:26
  foot
• 37:27
  in
• 37:27
  the
• 37:27
  door.
• 37:27
  And
• 37:28
  the
• 37:29
  emotion
• 37:29
  of
• 37:29
  this
• 37:29
  run
• 37:30
  is
• 37:30
  something
• 37:30
  I
• 37:30
  think
• 37:30
  that
• 37:31
  is
• 37:31
  hard
• 37:31
  to
• 37:31
  describe.
• 37:32
  But
• 37:32
  I'LL
• 37:32
  try
• 37:32
  to
• 37:32
  do
• 37:32
  it.
• 37:33
  Oh,
• 37:33
  for
• 37:33
  sure.
• 37:33
  And
• 37:33
  like,
• 37:34
  so
• 37:34
  it's
• 37:34
  going
• 37:34
  to

• 37:39
  of,
• 37:41

  the

  beauty

  It's

  right.
• 38:01
  It's

  feel,
• 38:01
  it's
• 38:02
  the
• 38:03
  different
• 38:03
  perspective.
• 38:04
  It's.
• 38:05
  We
• 38:05
  could
• 38:05
  argue
• 38:05
  without
• 38:06
  getting
• 38:06
  personal,
• 38:06
  right?
• 38:07
  We

  about
• 38:07
  the

  So

• 38:29
  on
• 38:30
  Father's
• 38:30
  Day
• 38:30
  and
• 38:31
  the
• 38:31
  impact
• 38:31
  he's
• 38:32
  made
• 38:32
  on
• 38:32
  me
• 38:33
  in
• 38:33
  my,
• 38:34
  you
• 38:34
  know,
• 38:34
  love
• 38:34
  of
• 38:34
  basketball
• 38:35
  and
• 38:36
  pursuit
• 38:36
  of
• 38:36
  dreams
• 38:37
  and
• 38:37
  goals.
• 38:37
  Right?
• 38:37
  So
• 38:38
  I
• 38:38
  think
• 38:39
  having
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  balance.
• 38:39
  I
• 38:40
  talked
• 38:40
  to
• 38:40
  someone
• 38:40
  about
• 38:40
  this
• 38:41
  the
• 38:41
  other
• 38:41
  day.
• 38:41
  You
• 38:42
  don't
• 38:42
  want
• 38:42
  to
• 38:42
  overwhelm
• 38:43
  anybody
• 38:43
  with
• 38:43
  one
• 38:44
  thing.
• 38:45
  So
• 38:45
  I
• 38:45
  don't
• 38:45
  want
• 38:46
  this
• 38:46
  to
• 38:46
  be,
• 38:46
  like,
• 38:46
  way
• 38:47
  too
• 38:47
  sentimental.
• 38:48
  You're
• 38:48
  like,
• 38:49
  this
• 38:49
  is,
• 38:49
  this
• 38:49
  is.
• 38:50
  Wait,
• 38:50
  what
• 38:50
  are
• 38:50
  we
• 38:50
  doing
• 38:51
  here?
• 38:51
  Can
• 38:51
  we
• 38:51
  talk
• 38:51
  about
• 38:51
  the
• 38:51
  game
• 38:52
  a
• 38:52
  little
• 38:52
  bit?
• 38:52
  Right?
• 38:52
  So
• 38:52
  it's
• 38:53
  got,
• 38:53
  to
• 38:53
  me,
• 38:53
  it's
• 38:53
  got
• 38:53
  to
• 38:54
  be
• 38:54
  a
• 38:55
  balance,
• 38:55
  a
• 38:55
  little
• 38:55
  bit
• 38:55
  of
• 38:55
  everything.
• 38:56
  Can
• 38:56
  you
• 38:56
  get
• 38:56
  a
• 38:56
  little
• 38:56
  game
• 38:57
  recap?
• 38:57
  Can
• 38:58
  you
• 38:58
  talk
• 38:58
  a
• 38:58
  little
• 38:58
  bit
• 38:58
  about
• 38:58
  a
• 38:59
  Watch
• 38:59
  party?
• 38:59
  Can
• 38:59
  you
• 38:59
  talk
• 38:59
  a
• 39:00
  little
• 39:00
  bit
• 39:00
  about
• 39:00
  an
• 39:00
  interview?
• 39:01
  Can
• 39:01
  you
• 39:01
  talk
• 39:01
  a
• 39:01
  little
• 39:02
  about
• 39:02
  your
• 39:02
  relationship
• 39:02
  with
• 39:02
  this
• 39:02
  person?
• 39:03
  I
• 39:03
  think
• 39:03
  the
• 39:04
  balance
• 39:04
  of
• 39:05
  all
• 39:05
  of
• 39:05
  that,
• 39:06
  where
• 39:06
  you
• 39:06
  could
• 39:06
  tap
• 39:07
  into
• 39:07
  certain
• 39:07
  peak,
• 39:08
  you
• 39:08
  could
• 39:08
  pull
• 39:08
  it
• 39:08
  an
• 39:09
  emotional
• 39:09
  cord,
• 39:10
  then
• 39:10
  you
• 39:10
  could
• 39:10
  go
• 39:11
  back
• 39:11
  to
• 39:11
  basketball,
• 39:11
  then
• 39:12
  you
• 39:12
  pull
• 39:12
  out
• 39:12
  a
• 39:12
  cord
• 39:12
  and
• 39:13
  then
• 39:13
  that
• 39:13
  kind
• 39:14
  of
• 39:14
  roller
• 39:15
  coaster
• 39:15
  type
• 39:16
  feel
• 39:16
  where
• 39:16
  you
• 39:16
  could
• 39:17
  go
• 39:17
  back
• 39:17
  and
• 39:17
  forth
• 39:17
  a
• 39:17
  little
• 39:18
  bit,
• 39:18
  that's
• 39:19
  kind
• 39:19
  of
• 39:19
  how
• 39:19
  I
• 39:19
  want
• 39:19
  to
• 39:19
  tell
• 39:19
  the
• 39:20
  story
• 39:20
  about
• 39:20
  the
• 39:20
  2026
• 39:21
  Knicks
• 39:21
  and
• 39:21
  my
• 39:22
  experience
• 39:22
  podcasting
• 39:23
  and
• 39:23
  covering
• 39:23
  it
• 39:23
  and
• 39:24
  like.
• 39:24
  And
• 39:24
  you
• 39:24
  hosted,
• 39:25
  you
• 39:25
  hosted
• 39:25
  your
• 39:25
  own
• 39:25
  watch
• 39:26
  parties
• 39:26
  this
• 39:26
  year?
• 39:26
  A
• 39:27
  couple
• 39:27
  times
• 39:27
  this
• 39:27
  season,
• 39:29
  fortunately.
• 39:29
  Here
• 39:30
  are
• 39:30
  these.
• 39:30
  I
• 39:30
  was
• 39:30
  working.
• 39:31
  I
• 39:32
  wanted
• 39:32
  to
• 39:32
  go
• 39:32
  to
• 39:32
  the
• 39:32
  March
• 39:32
  one.
• 39:34
  That
• 39:35
  was
• 39:35
  the
• 39:35
  big
• 39:35
  one.
• 39:36
  And
• 39:38
  any
• 39:38
  pictures
• 39:38
  you
• 39:39
  Got
• 39:39
  from
• 39:39
  that.
• 39:39
  That
• 39:39
  would
• 39:39
  be
• 39:40
  great
• 39:40
  visual
• 39:41
  aid
• 39:41
  for
• 39:42
  the
• 39:42
  pages
• 39:42
  that
• 39:43
  you
• 39:43
  discuss
• 39:43
  those.
• 39:44
  Yeah.
• 39:44
  And
• 39:44
  for
• 39:44
  those
• 39:44
  who
• 39:44
  don't
• 39:45
  know,
• 39:45
  because
• 39:45
  we
• 39:46
  naturally
• 39:46
  touch
• 39:46
  on
• 39:46
  this
• 39:47
  today,
• 39:47
  I
• 39:47
  think
• 39:47
  we
• 39:47
  touched
• 39:48
  on
• 39:48
  last
• 39:48
  time.
• 39:48
  Obviously,
• 39:49
  we
• 39:49
  go
• 39:49
  to
• 39:49
  the
• 39:49
  same
• 39:50
  high
• 39:50
  school.
• 39:50
  You're
• 39:50
  one
• 39:50
  year
• 39:50
  younger
• 39:51
  than
• 39:51
  me.
• 39:52
  The
• 39:52
  great
• 39:52
  part
• 39:52
  about
• 39:53
  this
• 39:53
  Knicks
• 39:53
  run
• 39:55
  and
• 39:55
  giving
• 39:55
  a
• 39:56
  forum
• 39:56
  for
• 39:56
  it
• 39:57
  is
• 39:57
  that
• 39:57
  I
• 39:57
  did
• 39:57
  reconnect
• 39:58
  with
• 39:59
  a
• 39:59
  lot
• 39:59
  of
• 39:59
  people
• 39:59
  from
• 39:59
  my
• 40:00
  past.
• 40:00
  And
• 40:01
  whether
• 40:01
  it
• 40:01
  was
• 40:01
  high
• 40:02
  school
• 40:02
  people,
• 40:02
  college
• 40:03
  people,
• 40:03
  people
• 40:03
  I
• 40:04
  used
• 40:04
  to
• 40:04
  work
• 40:04
  with,
• 40:05
  anybody.
• 40:06
  Like,
• 40:06
  if
• 40:06
  it
• 40:06
  wasn't
• 40:07
  for
• 40:07
  the
• 40:07
  Knicks
• 40:07
  and
• 40:08
  this
• 40:08
  show,
• 40:09
  I'm
• 40:09
  not
• 40:09
  sure
• 40:09
  I
• 40:10
  would
• 40:10
  have
• 40:10
  spoken
• 40:10
  to
• 40:11
  those
• 40:11
  people.
• 40:11
  It
• 40:11
  sounds
• 40:12
  kind
• 40:12
  of
• 40:12
  crazy,
• 40:13
  but
• 40:14
  I
• 40:14
  wasn't
• 40:14
  that
• 40:15
  close
• 40:15
  with
• 40:15
  them.
• 40:16
  But
• 40:16
  then
• 40:16
  realizing
• 40:17
  our,
• 40:17
  you
• 40:17
  know,
• 40:17
  we
• 40:18
  shared
• 40:18
  this
• 40:19
  same
• 40:19
  passion,
• 40:20
  that
• 40:21
  we
• 40:21
  were
• 40:21
  able
• 40:21
  to
• 40:21
  connect
• 40:22
  again.
• 40:22
  Next
• 40:22
  thing
• 40:22
  you
• 40:23
  know,
• 40:23
  you
• 40:23
  know,
• 40:24
  I'm
• 40:24
  having
• 40:24
  the
• 40:24
  watch
• 40:24
  parties.
• 40:25
  I'm
• 40:25
  starting
• 40:25
  to
• 40:26
  group
• 40:26
  chats.
• 40:26
  I'm.
• 40:27
  It's
• 40:27
  just
• 40:27
  a
• 40:28
  way
• 40:28
  to.
• 40:28
  And
• 40:29
  then,
• 40:29
  who
• 40:29
  knows?
• 40:30
  You
• 40:30
  know,
• 40:30
  you
• 40:31
  meet
• 40:31
  your
• 40:31
  spouse
• 40:31
  at
• 40:31
  something,
• 40:32
  you
• 40:32
  know,
• 40:32
  oh,
• 40:33
  where'd
• 40:33
  we
• 40:33
  meet?
• 40:33
  At
• 40:33
  Harris's
• 40:34
  watch
• 40:34
  party.
• 40:34
  And
• 40:34
  then
• 40:35
  those
• 40:35
  people
• 40:35
  are
• 40:35
  now
• 40:35
  friends.
• 40:36
  That
• 40:36
  one
• 40:36
  of
• 40:36
  the
• 40:36
  most
• 40:36
  rewarding
• 40:37
  things
• 40:37
  I
• 40:37
  could
• 40:37
  feel.
• 40:38
  And
• 40:38
  then
• 40:38
  obviously,
• 40:38
  we'll
• 40:38
  get
• 40:39
  back
• 40:39
  to
• 40:39
  the
• 40:39
  Knicks
• 40:39
  at
• 40:39
  some
• 40:40
  point,
• 40:40
  when
• 40:40
  people
• 40:41
  that
• 40:41
  I
• 40:41
  introduced,
• 40:42
  like,
• 40:42
  send
• 40:43
  me
• 40:43
  a
• 40:43
  picture,
• 40:43
  like,
• 40:44
  oh,
• 40:44
  we're
• 40:44
  at
• 40:44
  the
• 40:44
  game.
• 40:44
  I
• 40:45
  met
• 40:45
  up.
• 40:45
  That
• 40:46
  makes
• 40:46
  me
• 40:46
  feel
• 40:46
  really
• 40:46
  good
• 40:47
  that
• 40:47
  those
• 40:47
  type
• 40:48
  of
• 40:48
  things
• 40:48
  are
• 40:48
  going
• 40:48
  on,
• 40:49
  because
• 40:50
  this
• 40:50
  thing
• 40:50
  started
• 40:50
  and
• 40:51
  there
• 40:51
  was
• 40:51
  so
• 40:51
  much
• 40:52
  of
• 40:52
  that
• 40:52
  throughout
• 40:52
  this
• 40:52
  run.
• 40:53
  And
• 40:53
  the
• 40:54
  more
• 40:54
  the
• 40:54
  team
• 40:54
  won
• 40:54
  and
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  more
• 40:55
  that
• 40:55
  this
• 40:56
  thing
• 40:56
  built
• 40:56
  up,
• 40:57
  it
• 40:57
  was
• 40:57
  everybody.
• 40:58
  All
• 40:58
  those
• 40:58
  emotions
• 40:59
  that
• 40:59
  came
• 40:59
  out
• 40:59
  and
• 40:59
  everybody
• 41:00
  that
• 41:00
  cared
• 41:00
  so
• 41:00
  much
• 41:00
  about
• 41:01
  it,
• 41:01
  all
• 41:01
  the
• 41:02
  stories.
• 41:02
  I
• 41:02
  want
• 41:03
  to
• 41:03
  hear
• 41:03
  about
• 41:03
  that
• 41:03
  stuff,
• 41:04
  and
• 41:04
  I
• 41:04
  think
• 41:04
  a
• 41:04
  lot
• 41:04
  of
• 41:05
  people
• 41:05
  do.
• 41:06
  And
• 41:07
  one
• 41:07
  of
• 41:07
  the
• 41:07
  best
• 41:07
  stories
• 41:08
  I'll
• 41:08
  ever
• 41:08
  be
• 41:08
  able
• 41:08
  to
• 41:08
  tell
• 41:08
  was
• 41:09
  the
• 41:09
  NBA
• 41:09
  Finals,
• 41:10
  Game
• 41:10
  four.
• 41:10
  Yeah.
• 41:10
  And
• 41:11
  let's
• 41:11
  get
• 41:11
  into
• 41:11
  it,
• 41:12
  because,
• 41:12
  like,
• 41:12
  I.
• 41:13
  I
• 41:13
  need
• 41:14
  to
• 41:14
  know
• 41:15
  you
• 41:15
  were.
• 41:17
  Because,
• 41:17
  I
• 41:17
  don't
• 41:17
  know,
• 41:17
  Timothy
• 41:18
  Chalamet
• 41:18
  or
• 41:19
  Ben
• 41:19
  Stiller.
• 41:20
  You
• 41:20
  know,
• 41:20
  Ben
• 41:21
  Stiller
• 41:21
  a
• 41:21
  little
• 41:21
  bit,
• 41:21
  but
• 41:23
  in
• 41:23
  passing.
• 41:24
  In
• 41:24
  passing,
• 41:24
  yeah.
• 41:24
  Like,
• 41:25
  you
• 41:25
  were
• 41:25
  the
• 41:25
  only
• 41:26
  one
• 41:26
  I
• 41:26
  know
• 41:26
  of
• 41:26
  that
• 41:27
  was
• 41:27
  in
• 41:27
  the
• 41:28
  building
• 41:28
  for
• 41:29
  game
• 41:29
  four.
• 41:30
  And
• 41:30
  that
• 41:31
  was.
• 41:32
  That's
• 41:32
  one
• 41:32
  of
• 41:32
  those,
• 41:32
  like,
• 41:33
  you
• 41:33
  watch
• 41:34
  that
• 41:34
  game,
• 41:34
  you
• 41:34
  watch
• 41:35
  that
• 41:35
  fourth
• 41:35
  quarter,
• 41:35
  and
• 41:37
  you're.
• 41:37
  If
• 41:38
  you're
• 41:38
  watching
• 41:38
  it,
• 41:38
  like,
• 41:38
  okay,
• 41:39
  like
• 41:39
  something
• 41:40
  historic
• 41:40
  is
• 41:40
  happening
• 41:41
  here
• 41:42
  in
• 41:42
  the
• 41:42
  building.
• 41:43
  It
• 41:43
  had
• 41:43
  to
• 41:43
  have
• 41:43
  been
• 41:44
  even
• 41:45
  more
• 41:45
  amplified,
• 41:46
  especially,
• 41:48
  you
• 41:48
  know,
• 41:49
  second
• 41:49
  half,
• 41:49
  where
• 41:50
  they
• 41:50
  start
• 41:50
  to
• 41:50
  chip
• 41:50
  away,
• 41:51
  chip
• 41:51
  away.
• 41:52
  And
• 41:52
  then
• 41:52
  the
• 41:52
  last
• 41:53
  six
• 41:53
  minutes
• 41:53
  is
• 41:53
  just
• 41:54
  absolute
• 41:54
  chaos.
• 41:55
  I
• 41:55
  went.
• 41:56
  And
• 41:56
  by
• 41:57
  the
• 41:57
  way,
• 41:57
  there
• 41:57
  was
• 41:58
  a
• 41:58
  decision
• 41:58
  to
• 41:58
  be
• 41:58
  made
• 41:59
  on
• 41:59
  this
• 41:59
  Game,
• 42:00
  which
• 42:01
  I
• 42:01
  mentioned
• 42:01
  my
• 42:01
  brother
• 42:01
  in
• 42:02
  law
• 42:02
  before,
• 42:03
  and
• 42:03
  I
• 42:04
  wrote
• 42:04
  him
• 42:04
  a
• 42:04
  very
• 42:04
  nice
• 42:04
  Father's
• 42:05
  Day
• 42:05
  card
• 42:05
  today,
• 42:06
  not
• 42:06
  just
• 42:06
  because
• 42:07
  of
• 42:07
  this,
• 42:07
  but
• 42:07
  because
• 42:08
  he's
• 42:08
  a
• 42:08
  great
• 42:08
  guy.
• 42:09
  And
• 42:10
  he
• 42:10
  said,
• 42:11
  harris,
• 42:11
  here's
• 42:12
  the
• 42:12
  final
• 42:12
  situation.
• 42:13
  We
• 42:14
  can't
• 42:14
  do
• 42:14
  three,
• 42:15
  because,
• 42:15
  you
• 42:15
  know,
• 42:15
  the
• 42:15
  Knicks
• 42:16
  had
• 42:16
  three
• 42:16
  home
• 42:16
  games
• 42:16
  in
• 42:16
  that
• 42:17
  series
• 42:17
  if
• 42:17
  they
• 42:17
  needed
• 42:17
  six,
• 42:18
  but
• 42:18
  they
• 42:18
  didn't.
• 42:18
  Yes.
• 42:19
  So
• 42:19
  he
• 42:19
  goes,
• 42:20
  it's
• 42:20
  either
• 42:20
  four
• 42:20
  or
• 42:21
  six.
• 42:21
  And
• 42:22
  the
• 42:22
  back
• 42:22
  of
• 42:22
  my
• 42:22
  mind,
• 42:22
  I'm
• 42:23
  thinking,
• 42:23
  the
• 42:23
  Knicks
• 42:23
  have
• 42:23
  been
• 42:23
  playing
• 42:24
  really
• 42:24
  well,
• 42:25
  but
• 42:25
  can
• 42:26
  they
• 42:26
  really
• 42:26
  win
• 42:26
  this
• 42:27
  series
• 42:27
  in
• 42:27
  four?
• 42:29
  Probably
• 42:30
  not,
• 42:31
  right?
• 42:31
  Maybe
• 42:32
  not
• 42:32
  even
• 42:32
  in
• 42:32
  five,
• 42:33
  which
• 42:33
  they
• 42:33
  ended
• 42:33
  up
• 42:34
  doing.
• 42:34
  So
• 42:35
  my
• 42:35
  initial
• 42:35
  thought
• 42:36
  was
• 42:37
  it's
• 42:37
  either
• 42:37
  going
• 42:37
  to
• 42:37
  go
• 42:38
  six
• 42:38
  or
• 42:38
  seven.
• 42:39
  Why
• 42:39
  not
• 42:39
  be
• 42:40
  at
• 42:40
  the
• 42:40
  potential
• 42:40
  clincher
• 42:41
  at
• 42:41
  the
• 42:41
  Garden?
• 42:42
  How
• 42:42
  cool
• 42:42
  would
• 42:42
  that
• 42:42
  be,
• 42:42
  right?
• 42:43
  Absolutely.
• 42:43
  But
• 42:44
  he
• 42:45
  goes,
• 42:45
  nah,
• 42:46
  let's
• 42:46
  not
• 42:46
  risk
• 42:46
  it.
• 42:47
  So
• 42:47
  I
• 42:47
  give
• 42:47
  him
• 42:47
  all
• 42:48
  the
• 42:48
  credit
• 42:48
  in
• 42:48
  the
• 42:48
  world
• 42:49
  for
• 42:49
  setting
• 42:49
  the
• 42:50
  stage
• 42:51
  for
• 42:51
  what
• 42:51
  was
• 42:51
  the
• 42:52
  best
• 42:52
  experience
• 42:52
  of
• 42:53
  my
• 42:53
  sports
• 42:53
  fandom
• 42:54
  to
• 42:54
  this
• 42:54
  point.
• 42:54
  And
• 42:54
  it
• 42:54
  would
• 42:55
  be
• 42:55
  very
• 42:55
  impossible
• 42:55
  to
• 42:56
  top
• 42:56
  this,
• 42:56
  I
• 42:56
  think.
• 42:57
  But
• 42:57
  so
• 42:58
  I
• 42:58
  give
• 42:58
  him
• 42:58
  again,
• 42:59
  he
• 42:59
  was
• 42:59
  the
• 43:00
  one
• 43:00
  that
• 43:00
  had
• 43:00
  us
• 43:00
  going
• 43:01
  to
• 43:01
  that
• 43:01
  one.
• 43:02
  And
• 43:02
  when
• 43:02
  you're
• 43:02
  sitting
• 43:03
  there
• 43:03
  down
• 43:03
  at
• 43:03
  27
• 43:04
  and
• 43:04
  a
• 43:04
  half,
• 43:05
  and
• 43:06
  Wu
• 43:06
  Tang
• 43:06
  Clan
• 43:07
  comes
• 43:07
  on
• 43:07
  and
• 43:07
  it's
• 43:08
  one
• 43:08
  of
• 43:08
  the
• 43:08
  more
• 43:08
  dead
• 43:08
  halftime
• 43:09
  shows
• 43:09
  I've
• 43:09
  ever
• 43:10
  witnessed,
• 43:10
  I
• 43:10
  went
• 43:10
  on
• 43:10
  my
• 43:11
  live
• 43:11
  and
• 43:12
  I'll
• 43:12
  never
• 43:12
  forget
• 43:12
  this.
• 43:13
  Instead
• 43:13
  of
• 43:14
  normally
• 43:14
  I
• 43:14
  have
• 43:15
  the
• 43:15
  point
• 43:15
  of
• 43:15
  view
• 43:15
  and
• 43:15
  I'm
• 43:16
  talking
• 43:17
  and
• 43:17
  I'm
• 43:17
  giving,
• 43:17
  you
• 43:17
  know,
• 43:18
  the,
• 43:18
  the
• 43:18
  rundown
• 43:19
  of
• 43:19
  the
• 43:19
  half
• 43:19
  and
• 43:20
  what
• 43:20
  we
• 43:20
  need
• 43:20
  to
• 43:20
  do
• 43:20
  better.
• 43:21
  I
• 43:21
  decide,
• 43:21
  you
• 43:21
  know
• 43:21
  what,
• 43:22
  let
• 43:22
  me
• 43:22
  relax
• 43:23
  a
• 43:23
  little
• 43:23
  bit
• 43:23
  here.
• 43:23
  You
• 43:24
  guys
• 43:24
  watch
• 43:24
  the
• 43:24
  halftime
• 43:25
  show.
• 43:25
  The
• 43:26
  eight
• 43:26
  or
• 43:26
  10
• 43:26
  people
• 43:26
  that
• 43:26
  were
• 43:27
  on
• 43:27
  the
• 43:27
  live
• 43:27
  at
• 43:27
  that
• 43:27
  time,
• 43:28
  whoever
• 43:28
  wanted
• 43:28
  to
• 43:29
  think
• 43:29
  that
• 43:29
  this
• 43:29
  game
• 43:29
  wasn't
• 43:30
  over.
• 43:30
  And
• 43:31
  I'll
• 43:31
  never
• 43:31
  forget,
• 43:31
  I
• 43:31
  don't
• 43:32
  remember
• 43:32
  what
• 43:32
  member
• 43:32
  of
• 43:32
  Wu
• 43:33
  Tang
• 43:33
  Method
• 43:33
  man,
• 43:33
  what,
• 43:34
  somebody
• 43:34
  said
• 43:34
  it.
• 43:34
  Nixon
• 43:35
  5.
• 43:36
  He
• 43:36
  screamed
• 43:36
  it
• 43:37
  and
• 43:37
  everyone
• 43:38
  around
• 43:38
  was
• 43:38
  like,
• 43:38
  all
• 43:38
  right,
• 43:39
  whatever.
• 43:39
  Then
• 43:40
  early
• 43:40
  in
• 43:40
  the
• 43:40
  third
• 43:41
  quarter,
• 43:42
  they
• 43:42
  go
• 43:42
  down
• 43:43
  29.
• 43:43
  And
• 43:43
  my
• 43:44
  phone
• 43:44
  was
• 43:45
  obviously,
• 43:46
  the
• 43:46
  general
• 43:46
  tone
• 43:47
  was
• 43:47
  negative.
• 43:48
  A
• 43:48
  lot
• 43:48
  of,
• 43:49
  all
• 43:49
  right,
• 43:49
  good
• 43:50
  season.
• 43:50
  We're,
• 43:50
  you
• 43:51
  know,
• 43:51
  two,
• 43:51
  two.
• 43:51
  We
• 43:52
  lose
• 43:52
  all
• 43:52
  of
• 43:52
  our
• 43:52
  momentum.
• 43:53
  All
• 43:53
  these
• 43:53
  thoughts
• 43:54
  are
• 43:54
  going
• 43:54
  through
• 43:54
  your
• 43:54
  mind.
• 43:54
  And
• 43:54
  then
• 43:55
  I
• 43:55
  think
• 43:55
  Jalen
• 43:55
  Brunson,
• 43:55
  who
• 43:56
  said
• 43:56
  it
• 43:56
  after
• 43:56
  they
• 43:57
  had
• 43:57
  won
• 43:57
  game
• 43:57
  four,
• 43:58
  which
• 43:58
  what
• 43:58
  I
• 43:58
  told
• 43:58
  you
• 43:58
  was,
• 43:59
  I
• 43:59
  thought
• 43:59
  was
• 43:59
  one
• 43:59
  of
• 43:59
  the
• 43:59
  best
• 43:59
  quotes
• 44:00
  I've
• 44:00
  heard
• 44:01
  any
• 44:01
  professional
• 44:02
  athletes.
• 44:02
  And
• 44:02
  I'm,
• 44:02
  hey,
• 44:02
  I'm
• 44:03
  going
• 44:03
  to
• 44:03
  think
• 44:03
  about
• 44:03
  this,
• 44:04
  but
• 44:04
  then
• 44:05
  I'm
• 44:05
  going
• 44:05
  to
• 44:05
  go
• 44:05
  do
• 44:05
  something
• 44:06
  about
• 44:06
  it.
• 44:07
  And
• 44:07
  it
• 44:07
  embodied
• 44:08
  and
• 44:08
  represented
• 44:09
  everything
• 44:10
  you
• 44:10
  love
• 44:10
  about
• 44:10
  this
• 44:10
  Knicks
• 44:11
  team.
• 44:11
  And
• 44:11
  I
• 44:11
  actually
• 44:11
  think
• 44:12
  It's
• 44:12
  a
• 44:12
  life
• 44:12
  lesson
• 44:12
  that
• 44:12
  you
• 44:13
  carry
• 44:13
  with
• 44:13
  you.
• 44:13
  It
• 44:13
  has
• 44:14
  nothing
• 44:14
  to
• 44:14
  do
• 44:14
  with
• 44:14
  basketball,
• 44:15
  which
• 44:15
  is
• 44:16
  some
• 44:16
  people
• 44:17
  are
• 44:17
  going
• 44:17
  to
• 44:17
  wake
• 44:17
  up
• 44:17
  tomorrow,
• 44:18
  it's
• 44:18
  going
• 44:18
  to
• 44:18
  feel
• 44:18
  like
• 44:18
  they're
• 44:18
  down
• 44:18
  29
• 44:19
  the
• 44:19
  third
• 44:19
  quarter.
• 44:20
  Whether
• 44:20
  it's
• 44:20
  a
• 44:20
  health
• 44:20
  reason,
• 44:21
  a
• 44:21
  relationship,
• 44:22
  a
• 44:22
  job
• 44:23
  situation,
• 44:23
  there's
• 44:24
  a
• 44:24
  lot
• 44:24
  of
• 44:24
  people
• 44:24
  that
• 44:24
  are
• 44:24
  going
• 44:24
  to
• 44:24
  put
• 44:24
  their
• 44:25
  backs
• 44:25
  against
• 44:25
  the
• 44:25
  wall.
• 44:26
  And
• 44:26
  so
• 44:26
  as
• 44:26
  fans,
• 44:26
  back
• 44:27
  to
• 44:27
  the
• 44:27
  basketball
• 44:27
  part
• 44:28
  of
• 44:28
  it,
• 44:28
  what
• 44:29
  are
• 44:29
  we
• 44:29
  going
• 44:29
  to
• 44:29
  do?
• 44:30
  There's
• 44:30
  nine
• 44:30
  minutes
• 44:31
  left
• 44:31
  in
• 44:31
  this
• 44:31
  third.
• 44:31
  Are
• 44:32
  we
• 44:32
  really
• 44:32
  going
• 44:32
  out
• 44:32
  ugly?
• 44:33
  And
• 44:34
  when
• 44:34
  it
• 44:34
  got
• 44:34
  to
• 44:34
  like
• 44:35
  24,
• 44:35
  25,
• 44:36
  I
• 44:36
  think
• 44:36
  Brunson
• 44:36
  hit
• 44:37
  a
• 44:37
  three
• 44:37
  or
• 44:37
  somebody
• 44:37
  hit
• 44:38
  a
• 44:38
  shot,
• 44:38
  it
• 44:38
  was
• 44:38
  like
• 44:38
  23.
• 44:39
  And
• 44:40
  you
• 44:40
  heard
• 44:40
  the
• 44:40
  let's
• 44:40
  go,
• 44:40
  Knicks
• 44:41
  chance.
• 44:41
  I'm
• 44:41
  like,
• 44:41
  this
• 44:41
  crowd
• 44:42
  is
• 44:43
  just
• 44:43
  so
• 44:43
  desperate
• 44:45
  to
• 44:45
  get
• 44:45
  into
• 44:45
  this
• 44:46
  basketball
• 44:46
  game.
• 44:46
  And
• 44:47
  you
• 44:47
  heard
• 44:47
  a
• 44:47
  scattering
• 44:48
  booze,
• 44:48
  but
• 44:48
  like,
• 44:48
  it
• 44:48
  was
• 44:49
  never
• 44:49
  anything
• 44:49
  consistent.
• 44:50
  It
• 44:50
  was
• 44:50
  one
• 44:50
  or
• 44:51
  two
• 44:51
  people
• 44:51
  that
• 44:51
  were
• 44:52
  very
• 44:52
  frustrated
• 44:52
  with
• 44:52
  what
• 44:53
  was
• 44:53
  going
• 44:53
  on.
• 44:53
  I
• 44:53
  think
• 44:53
  those
• 44:54
  were
• 44:54
  probably
• 44:54
  more
• 44:54
  directed
• 44:54
  at
• 44:55
  Wemby
• 44:55
  and
• 44:56
  all
• 44:56
  the
• 44:56
  stuff
• 44:56
  that
• 44:56
  he
• 44:56
  was
• 44:57
  trying
• 44:57
  to
• 44:57
  pull.
• 44:58
  But
• 44:59
  it
• 44:59
  really
• 44:59
  was
• 44:59
  amazing
• 45:00
  that
• 45:00
  once
• 45:01
  the
• 45:01
  game
• 45:01
  got
• 45:01
  to
• 45:02
  16,
• 45:03
  and
• 45:04
  I
• 45:04
  told
• 45:04
  you
• 45:04
  this
• 45:04
  before,
• 45:04
  the
• 45:05
  defense
• 45:05
  chance
• 45:07
  was
• 45:07
  as
• 45:07
  if
• 45:07
  it
• 45:07
  was
• 45:07
  a
• 45:08
  tie
• 45:08
  game.
• 45:09
  And
• 45:09
  I
• 45:09
  thought
• 45:09
  the
• 45:10
  crowd
• 45:10
  was
• 45:10
  a
• 45:10
  plus
• 45:11
  plus.
• 45:11
  And
• 45:11
  I'm
• 45:11
  not
• 45:11
  just
• 45:12
  saying
• 45:12
  that
• 45:12
  because
• 45:12
  I
• 45:12
  was
• 45:12
  there,
• 45:13
  but
• 45:14
  I
• 45:14
  was
• 45:14
  really
• 45:14
  encouraged.
• 45:16
  And
• 45:16
  I
• 45:16
  told
• 45:16
  you
• 45:16
  before
• 45:17
  how
• 45:17
  much
• 45:17
  I
• 45:17
  was
• 45:18
  satisfied
• 45:18
  with
• 45:18
  the
• 45:18
  amount
• 45:19
  of
• 45:19
  traveling
• 45:19
  the
• 45:19
  fan
• 45:20
  base
• 45:20
  was
• 45:20
  doing.
• 45:21
  And
• 45:21
  I
• 45:21
  think
• 45:21
  that
• 45:21
  as
• 45:21
  much
• 45:22
  as
• 45:22
  the
• 45:22
  team
• 45:22
  gets,
• 45:23
  you
• 45:23
  know,
• 45:24
  the
• 45:24
  16
• 45:24
  and
• 45:24
  3
• 45:24
  and
• 45:24
  they
• 45:25
  win,
• 45:25
  the
• 45:26
  fans
• 45:26
  did
• 45:26
  a
• 45:26
  lot
• 45:26
  of
• 45:26
  winning,
• 45:27
  too.
• 45:27
  Not
• 45:27
  just
• 45:28
  because
• 45:28
  of
• 45:28
  the
• 45:28
  travel,
• 45:28
  because
• 45:29
  their
• 45:29
  performance
• 45:30
  in
• 45:30
  this
• 45:31
  historic
• 45:31
  comeback
• 45:32
  in
• 45:32
  the
• 45:32
  second
• 45:32
  half
• 45:32
  to
• 45:33
  a
• 45:33
  race
• 45:33
  29.
• 45:34
  Once
• 45:34
  it
• 45:34
  got
• 45:35
  to
• 45:35
  16,
• 45:35
  it
• 45:36
  felt
• 45:36
  like
• 45:37
  everybody
• 45:37
  in
• 45:37
  the
• 45:38
  building
• 45:38
  was
• 45:38
  expecting
• 45:39
  a
• 45:39
  win.
• 45:39
  Imagine
• 45:39
  that
• 45:39
  you're
• 45:40
  down
• 45:40
  16
• 45:40
  in
• 45:40
  the
• 45:40
  finals.
• 45:41
  It's
• 45:41
  still
• 45:42
  the
• 45:42
  fourth
• 45:42
  quarter.
• 45:43
  There's
• 45:43
  only
• 45:43
  about
• 45:44
  seven
• 45:44
  or
• 45:44
  eight
• 45:44
  minutes
• 45:44
  left.
• 45:45
  And
• 45:45
  because
• 45:45
  they'd
• 45:46
  seen
• 45:46
  them
• 45:46
  do
• 45:46
  it
• 45:46
  before,
• 45:47
  side
• 45:47
  note,
• 45:47
  I
• 45:47
  was
• 45:48
  also
• 45:48
  at
• 45:48
  game
• 45:48
  one
• 45:49
  of
• 45:49
  the
• 45:49
  conference
• 45:50
  finals.
• 45:50
  They
• 45:51
  overcame
• 45:51
  the
• 45:51
  22
• 45:52
  point
• 45:52
  game.
• 45:52
  And
• 45:52
  you
• 45:52
  thought,
• 45:52
  I'll
• 45:53
  never
• 45:53
  see
• 45:53
  anything
• 45:53
  better
• 45:54
  than
• 45:54
  that.
• 45:54
  And
• 45:55
  then
• 45:55
  this
• 45:55
  game
• 45:55
  said,
• 45:55
  hold
• 45:55
  my
• 45:56
  beer
• 45:56
  and
• 45:56
  here
• 45:56
  we
• 45:56
  go.
• 45:57
  And
• 45:57
  it
• 45:58
  was
• 45:58
  just
• 45:59
  the
• 45:59
  fourth
• 45:59
  quarter
• 46:00
  of
• 46:00
  that
• 46:00
  game
• 46:01
  is
• 46:01
  the
• 46:01
  closest
• 46:02
  thing
• 46:02
  I
• 46:02
  think
• 46:03
  I've
• 46:03
  ever
• 46:03
  had
• 46:03
  to
• 46:03
  an
• 46:03
  out
• 46:03
  of
• 46:04
  body
• 46:04
  experience.
• 46:05
  Where
• 46:05
  I'm
• 46:06
  at
• 46:06
  towards
• 46:06
  the
• 46:06
  top
• 46:06
  of
• 46:07
  the
• 46:07
  Garden,
• 46:07
  it's
• 46:07
  a
• 46:08
  pretty
• 46:08
  good
• 46:08
  seat,
• 46:08
  but
• 46:08
  I'm
• 46:08
  towards
• 46:09
  the
• 46:09
  top.
• 46:10
  And
• 46:10
  I
• 46:10
  didn't
• 46:11
  sit
• 46:11
  down
• 46:11
  once
• 46:12
  in
• 46:12
  the
• 46:12
  fourth
• 46:12
  quarter.
• 46:14
  I
• 46:15
  was
• 46:15
  in
• 46:15
  the
• 46:15
  aisle
• 46:16
  and
• 46:16
  I
• 46:16
  was
• 46:16
  sitting
• 46:16
  on
• 46:16
  top
• 46:17
  of
• 46:17
  the
• 46:17
  railing.
• 46:17
  And
• 46:17
  when
• 46:17
  they
• 46:18
  Had
• 46:18
  a
• 46:18
  big
• 46:18
  play
• 46:18
  and
• 46:18
  it
• 46:18
  got
• 46:19
  down
• 46:19
  to
• 46:19
  like
• 46:19
  12
• 46:19
  on
• 46:20
  like
• 46:20
  a
• 46:20
  cat
• 46:20
  layup.
• 46:21
  And
• 46:21
  then
• 46:21
  there
• 46:21
  was
• 46:22
  a
• 46:22
  three
• 46:22
  that
• 46:22
  happened.
• 46:23
  I
• 46:23
  would
• 46:23
  go
• 46:23
  just
• 46:23
  hug
• 46:24
  a
• 46:24
  random
• 46:24
  person.
• 46:24
  I'm
• 46:25
  like,
• 46:25
  is
• 46:25
  this.
• 46:26
  Everyone
• 46:26
  kept
• 46:26
  looking
• 46:26
  at
• 46:27
  each
• 46:27
  other,
• 46:27
  like,
• 46:27
  really,
• 46:28
  Is
• 46:28
  this
• 46:28
  what
• 46:28
  we're
• 46:29
  about
• 46:29
  to
• 46:29
  experience?
• 46:30
  We're
• 46:30
  really
• 46:30
  going
• 46:31
  to
• 46:31
  be
• 46:31
  here
• 46:31
  for
• 46:31
  this.
• 46:31
  Where
• 46:32
  they.
• 46:32
  Because
• 46:32
  if
• 46:33
  you
• 46:33
  win
• 46:33
  a
• 46:33
  game
• 46:33
  like
• 46:33
  this,
• 46:34
  I
• 46:34
  don't
• 46:34
  care.
• 46:35
  That
• 46:35
  would
• 46:35
  have
• 46:35
  had
• 46:35
  to
• 46:35
  be
• 46:36
  a
• 46:36
  really
• 46:36
  veteran
• 46:36
  led
• 46:37
  group
• 46:37
  for
• 46:37
  them
• 46:37
  to
• 46:37
  overcome
• 46:38
  it,
• 46:38
  right?
• 46:39
  Like,
• 46:39
  young
• 46:39
  teams
• 46:40
  don't
• 46:40
  overcome
• 46:40
  that.
• 46:41
  They
• 46:41
  don't.
• 46:41
  You
• 46:41
  know,
• 46:42
  you
• 46:42
  could
• 46:42
  have.
• 46:42
  You
• 46:42
  could
• 46:42
  have
• 46:42
  been
• 46:42
  two,
• 46:43
  two.
• 46:43
  Now
• 46:43
  it's
• 46:44
  about
• 46:44
  to
• 46:44
  be
• 46:44
  three
• 46:44
  one.
• 46:45
  And
• 46:45
  I
• 46:45
  said,
• 46:46
  I
• 46:46
  didn't
• 46:46
  sit
• 46:46
  down.
• 46:46
  I
• 46:47
  was
• 46:47
  up
• 46:47
  on
• 46:47
  the
• 46:47
  railing.
• 46:47
  My
• 46:48
  defense,
• 46:48
  Chance
• 46:48
  was
• 46:49
  like,
• 46:49
  I
• 46:49
  was
• 46:49
  channeling
• 46:50
  something
• 46:50
  very
• 46:50
  deep
• 46:51
  on
• 46:51
  my
• 46:51
  defense.
• 46:51
  Chance
• 46:52
  down
• 46:52
  the
• 46:52
  stretch,
• 46:52
  Brunson
• 46:53
  hits
• 46:53
  the
• 46:53
  three.
• 46:54
  And
• 46:54
  I
• 46:54
  got
• 46:54
  chills
• 46:54
  on
• 46:55
  the
• 46:55
  Brunson
• 46:55
  three
• 46:56
  because
• 46:56
  now
• 46:56
  I'm
• 46:56
  like,
• 46:56
  all
• 46:57
  right,
• 46:57
  this
• 46:57
  is
• 46:57
  real.
• 46:57
  It's
• 46:57
  a
• 46:58
  one
• 46:58
  point
• 46:58
  game
• 46:58
  and
• 46:58
  there's
• 46:58
  still
• 46:58
  enough
• 46:59
  time.
• 46:59
  It's
• 46:59
  three
• 46:59
  minutes,
• 47:00
  two
• 47:00
  or
• 47:00
  three
• 47:00
  minutes
• 47:00
  left.
• 47:00
  When
• 47:00
  you
• 47:00
  hit
• 47:01
  that
• 47:01
  shot,
• 47:02
  Hart
• 47:02
  misses
• 47:02
  the
• 47:03
  layup,
• 47:03
  you
• 47:03
  collapse,
• 47:03
  right?
• 47:03
  You
• 47:04
  think
• 47:04
  maybe
• 47:04
  it's
• 47:04
  over.
• 47:05
  And
• 47:06
  then
• 47:06
  obviously
• 47:06
  the
• 47:06
  OG
• 47:06
  tip.
• 47:07
  And
• 47:07
  there's
• 47:07
  just
• 47:08
  so
• 47:08
  much
• 47:08
  to
• 47:09
  dissect
• 47:09
  and
• 47:10
  digest
• 47:10
  in
• 47:10
  that
• 47:11
  game.
• 47:11
  It's
• 47:12
  happened.
• 47:12
  It's
• 47:12
  one
• 47:12
  of
• 47:13
  those
• 47:13
  things
• 47:13
  where
• 47:14
  I
• 47:14
  don't
• 47:14
  want
• 47:15
  to.
• 47:15
  I
• 47:15
  don't
• 47:15
  want
• 47:15
  to
• 47:15
  relate
• 47:15
  it
• 47:15
  to,
• 47:15
  like,
• 47:16
  tragedies
• 47:16
  in
• 47:16
  any
• 47:17
  way,
• 47:17
  because
• 47:17
  it
• 47:17
  was,
• 47:17
  it
• 47:17
  was
• 47:18
  the
• 47:18
  opposite
• 47:18
  of
• 47:18
  that.
• 47:18
  We
• 47:19
  know
• 47:19
  there
• 47:19
  are
• 47:19
  certain
• 47:19
  moments
• 47:19
  that
• 47:20
  happen
• 47:20
  where
• 47:20
  it.
• 47:21
  Even
• 47:21
  when
• 47:21
  you
• 47:22
  think
• 47:22
  about
• 47:22
  it
• 47:22
  and
• 47:22
  what
• 47:22
  was
• 47:22
  it
• 47:23
  a
• 47:23
  couple
• 47:23
  weeks
• 47:23
  ago
• 47:23
  at
• 47:23
  this
• 47:23
  point?
• 47:24
  Right.
• 47:24
  That
• 47:24
  game
• 47:24
  was
• 47:24
  played
• 47:25
  in
• 47:25
  like,
• 47:25
  the
• 47:25
  10th
• 47:26
  or
• 47:26
  something.
• 47:26
  So.
• 47:27
  Yeah,
• 47:27
  like
• 47:27
  11
• 47:27
  days
• 47:27
  ago.
• 47:28
  No
• 47:29
  way.
• 47:29
  Right.
• 47:29
  Like,
• 47:29
  I
• 47:30
  have
• 47:30
  to
• 47:30
  go
• 47:30
  back.
• 47:30
  I've
• 47:31
  never
• 47:31
  watched
• 47:31
  a
• 47:31
  game
• 47:31
  on
• 47:31
  YouTube
• 47:32
  highlights
• 47:32
  more
• 47:33
  than
• 47:33
  this
• 47:33
  one.
• 47:34
  Just.
• 47:34
  I
• 47:34
  want
• 47:35
  to
• 47:35
  make
• 47:35
  sure
• 47:35
  my
• 47:35
  brain
• 47:35
  knows
• 47:36
  that
• 47:36
  it
• 47:36
  was
• 47:36
  reality.
• 47:37
  Oh,
• 47:37
  that's.
• 47:38
  We
• 47:38
  were
• 47:38
  talking,
• 47:39
  like,
• 47:39
  I,
• 47:39
  I
• 47:40
  had.
• 47:40
  I
• 47:40
  had
• 47:40
  work
• 47:40
  early
• 47:41
  the
• 47:41
  next
• 47:41
  morning,
• 47:42
  so
• 47:42
  I,
• 47:42
  I
• 47:42
  went
• 47:43
  to
• 47:43
  bed
• 47:43
  after
• 47:43
  halftime
• 47:44
  and
• 47:44
  I
• 47:44
  open
• 47:44
  up
• 47:45
  my
• 47:45
  phone,
• 47:45
  I
• 47:45
  think
• 47:45
  6:30
• 47:46
  in
• 47:46
  the
• 47:46
  morning.
• 47:47
  I'm
• 47:47
  like,
• 47:47
  I
• 47:47
  think
• 47:47
  I
• 47:47
  need
• 47:48
  to
• 47:48
  get
• 47:48
  my
• 47:48
  eyes
• 47:48
  checked
• 47:48
  because
• 47:48
  this
• 47:49
  is
• 47:49
  the
• 47:49
  Knicks
• 47:49
  one.
• 47:50
  And
• 47:50
  I'm
• 47:50
  like,
• 47:51
  they
• 47:51
  were
• 47:51
  down
• 47:51
  like
• 47:51
  30.
• 47:52
  Like,
• 47:52
  they're
• 47:52
  like,
• 47:52
  they're
• 47:53
  like,
• 47:53
  they
• 47:53
  didn't
• 47:54
  win
• 47:54
  this
• 47:54
  game.
• 47:54
  And
• 47:55
  apparently
• 47:55
  they
• 47:55
  did.
• 47:56
  And
• 47:56
  I,
• 47:57
  I've
• 47:57
  always
• 47:57
  heard,
• 47:58
  like,
• 47:58
  if
• 47:58
  something
• 47:58
  gets
• 47:59
  so
• 47:59
  loud
• 48:00
  that
• 48:00
  eventually
• 48:01
  it
• 48:01
  just
• 48:01
  sounds
• 48:01
  like
• 48:02
  silence.
• 48:03
  Is
• 48:03
  that
• 48:03
  true?
• 48:04
  Well,
• 48:05
  people
• 48:06
  asked
• 48:06
  me
• 48:06
  about,
• 48:06
  did
• 48:06
  the
• 48:07
  building
• 48:07
  shake?
• 48:07
  I
• 48:07
  said,
• 48:08
  well,
• 48:08
  I
• 48:09
  was
• 48:09
  doing
• 48:09
  a
• 48:09
  lot
• 48:09
  of
• 48:09
  Shaking
• 48:10
  myself.
• 48:10
  So
• 48:10
  I
• 48:11
  don't
• 48:11
  know
• 48:11
  what
• 48:12
  the
• 48:12
  building
• 48:12
  was
• 48:12
  doing.
• 48:13
  It
• 48:13
  was
• 48:13
  deafening
• 48:14
  in
• 48:14
  there.
• 48:15
  And
• 48:15
  the
• 48:16
  pop
• 48:16
  you
• 48:16
  said
• 48:17
  you
• 48:17
  watched
• 48:17
  on
• 48:17
  natural
• 48:18
  sound
• 48:18
  before
• 48:19
  the
• 48:19
  pop
• 48:20
  on
• 48:20
  the
• 48:20
  OG
• 48:20
  tip
• 48:21
  was
• 48:22
  Larry
• 48:22
  Johnson,
• 48:23
  99esque.
• 48:24
  I
• 48:24
  would
• 48:24
  have
• 48:24
  to
• 48:24
  agree
• 48:24
  with
• 48:25
  that.
• 48:25
  That's.
• 48:25
  That's.
• 48:26
  I
• 48:26
  hadn't
• 48:26
  heard
• 48:26
  anything
• 48:27
  that
• 48:27
  loud
• 48:28
  since.
• 48:28
  Yes.
• 48:29
  And
• 48:30
  so
• 48:30
  to
• 48:30
  be
• 48:30
  a
• 48:30
  part
• 48:31
  of
• 48:31
  that
• 48:31
  and
• 48:32
  to
• 48:32
  lose
• 48:32
  your
• 48:32
  mind
• 48:33
  because
• 48:33
  the
• 48:33
  Brunson
• 48:33
  shot
• 48:34
  goes
• 48:34
  up,
• 48:34
  and
• 48:35
  I
• 48:35
  want
• 48:35
  to
• 48:35
  touch
• 48:36
  on
• 48:36
  Breen
• 48:36
  for
• 48:36
  a
• 48:37
  second
• 48:37
  because
• 48:37
  he,
• 48:38
  he's
• 48:38
  just
• 48:39
  such
• 48:39
  an
• 48:39
  awesome
• 48:39
  human
• 48:40
  being
• 48:40
  and
• 48:41
  for
• 48:41
  him
• 48:41
  to
• 48:41
  be
• 48:41
  a
• 48:41
  part
• 48:42
  of
• 48:42
  this,
• 48:42
  and
• 48:42
  he
• 48:42
  waited
• 48:42
  his
• 48:43
  whole
• 48:43
  life
• 48:43
  to.
• 48:43
  Because
• 48:43
  he
• 48:44
  did
• 48:44
  a
• 48:44
  radio
• 48:44
  call
• 48:44
  when
• 48:45
  the
• 48:45
  Knicks
• 48:45
  played
• 48:45
  in
• 48:45
  the
• 48:45
  finals
• 48:46
  in
• 48:46
  the
• 48:46
  90s
• 48:47
  for
• 48:47
  him
• 48:47
  to
• 48:47
  be
• 48:47
  on
• 48:47
  TV
• 48:48
  for
• 48:48
  this.
• 48:48
  And
• 48:49
  we
• 48:49
  were
• 48:49
  about
• 48:50
  to
• 48:50
  get
• 48:50
  the
• 48:50
  triple
• 48:50
  bang,
• 48:51
  right?
• 48:51
  Brunson
• 48:51
  shot
• 48:52
  goes
• 48:52
  up.
• 48:53
  We
• 48:53
  wanted
• 48:53
  it.
• 48:54
  The
• 48:54
  Brunson
• 48:55
  shot
• 48:55
  goes
• 48:55
  up
• 48:56
  and
• 48:56
  we're
• 48:56
  about
• 48:56
  to
• 48:56
  get
• 48:56
  the
• 48:56
  triple
• 48:57
  rang
• 48:57
  from
• 48:57
  the
• 48:57
  hall
• 48:57
  of
• 48:57
  Fame
• 48:57
  broadcaster
• 48:58
  who
• 48:59
  again,
• 48:59
  has
• 49:00
  been
• 49:00
  so
• 49:00
  good
• 49:00
  to
• 49:00
  me
• 49:01
  and
• 49:01
  so
• 49:01
  down
• 49:02
  to
• 49:02
  earth.
• 49:02
  I,
• 49:02
  I
• 49:02
  always
• 49:03
  refer
• 49:03
  to
• 49:03
  this
• 49:03
  as
• 49:03
  the
• 49:03
  Mike
• 49:04
  Breen
• 49:04
  rule.
• 49:04
  If
• 49:05
  this
• 49:05
  guy
• 49:05
  is
• 49:05
  so
• 49:05
  accomplished
• 49:06
  and
• 49:06
  he's
• 49:07
  acting
• 49:07
  like
• 49:07
  this,
• 49:07
  what
• 49:07
  would
• 49:08
  be
• 49:08
  your
• 49:08
  excuse
• 49:08
  to
• 49:08
  not
• 49:09
  act
• 49:09
  like
• 49:09
  that?
• 49:09
  Right.
• 49:09
  This
• 49:10
  is
• 49:10
  a
• 49:10
  very,
• 49:11
  very.
• 49:13
  In
• 49:13
  terms
• 49:13
  of
• 49:14
  basketball
• 49:14
  wise,
• 49:14
  just,
• 49:15
  you
• 49:15
  want
• 49:15
  a
• 49:15
  kids
• 49:16
  call
• 49:16
  goat.
• 49:16
  Whatever
• 49:16
  you
• 49:17
  want,
• 49:17
  whatever,
• 49:17
  whatever
• 49:18
  accolade
• 49:18
  you
• 49:18
  want
• 49:18
  to
• 49:18
  attach
• 49:19
  to
• 49:19
  Breen,
• 49:19
  he's
• 49:19
  one
• 49:20
  of
• 49:20
  the
• 49:20
  best
• 49:20
  to
• 49:20
  ever
• 49:20
  do
• 49:20
  it.
• 49:21
  And
• 49:21
  so
• 49:21
  for
• 49:22
  someone
• 49:22
  that's
• 49:22
  done
• 49:22
  that
• 49:23
  and
• 49:23
  to
• 49:24
  act
• 49:24
  the
• 49:24
  way
• 49:24
  that
• 49:24
  he
• 49:24
  does,
• 49:24
  I
• 49:25
  go
• 49:25
  out
• 49:26
  of
• 49:26
  my
• 49:26
  way
• 49:26
  to
• 49:26
  mention
• 49:26
  that
• 49:26
  to
• 49:27
  him
• 49:27
  whenever
• 49:27
  I
• 49:27
  can,
• 49:27
  like.
• 49:28
  And
• 49:28
  when
• 49:28
  he
• 49:29
  was
• 49:29
  on
• 49:29
  the
• 49:29
  show
• 49:29
  in
• 49:29
  October,
• 49:30
  I
• 49:30
  said,
• 49:30
  man,
• 49:31
  you
• 49:31
  don't
• 49:31
  know
• 49:31
  what
• 49:31
  you
• 49:31
  mean
• 49:32
  to
• 49:32
  people.
• 49:32
  And
• 49:32
  the
• 49:33
  fact
• 49:33
  that
• 49:33
  you
• 49:33
  do
• 49:33
  it
• 49:33
  with
• 49:33
  the
• 49:34
  amount
• 49:34
  of
• 49:34
  class
• 49:34
  that
• 49:35
  you
• 49:35
  do
• 49:35
  it
• 49:35
  with
• 49:36
  and
• 49:36
  not
• 49:36
  to
• 49:36
  get
• 49:36
  sidetracked.
• 49:37
  He's
• 49:37
  about
• 49:37
  to
• 49:38
  call
• 49:38
  the
• 49:38
  triple
• 49:38
  bang.
• 49:39
  And
• 49:39
  then
• 49:39
  out
• 49:39
  of
• 49:40
  the
• 49:40
  heavens
• 49:40
  comes
• 49:40
  OG
• 49:41
  Anunoby
• 49:42
  to
• 49:42
  put
• 49:42
  together
• 49:43
  one
• 49:43
  of
• 49:43
  the
• 49:43
  most
• 49:44
  memorable
• 49:44
  individual
• 49:45
  plays.
• 49:45
  And
• 49:45
  not
• 49:46
  just
• 49:46
  Knicks
• 49:46
  history,
• 49:47
  heck,
• 49:47
  basketball
• 49:48
  history.
• 49:49
  The
• 49:49
  best
• 49:49
  part
• 49:49
  about
• 49:50
  this
• 49:50
  game
• 49:50
  is
• 49:50
  usually
• 49:51
  when
• 49:51
  I
• 49:51
  talk
• 49:51
  about
• 49:52
  the
• 49:52
  Knicks,
• 49:52
  I
• 49:52
  have
• 49:52
  to
• 49:52
  preface
• 49:53
  with
• 49:53
  like,
• 49:54
  I'm
• 49:54
  a
• 49:54
  big
• 49:54
  fan.
• 49:54
  I,
• 49:55
  I
• 49:55
  don't
• 49:55
  want
• 49:55
  to
• 49:55
  be
• 49:56
  biased.
• 49:56
  I
• 49:56
  don't
• 49:56
  want
• 49:57
  to
• 49:57
  use
• 49:57
  hyperbola.
• 49:57
  You
• 49:57
  know,
• 49:58
  all
• 49:58
  those
• 49:58
  stuff
• 49:59
  goes
• 49:59
  out
• 49:59
  the
• 49:59
  window
• 49:59
  with
• 49:59
  this
• 50:00
  one.
• 50:00
  You
• 50:00
  were
• 50:00
  down
• 50:01
  29
• 50:01
  the
• 50:01
  second
• 50:01
  half.
• 50:02
  All
• 50:02
  this,
• 50:03
  best
• 50:03
  ever.
• 50:03
  This,
• 50:04
  that
• 50:04
  it's
• 50:04
  in
• 50:04
  the
• 50:05
  conversation
• 50:05
  for
• 50:05
  everything.
• 50:06
  And
• 50:07
  like
• 50:07
  watching
• 50:07
  that
• 50:07
  play
• 50:07
  over
• 50:08
  again,
• 50:09
  the
• 50:10
  basketball
• 50:10
  IQ
• 50:11
  of
• 50:11
  OG
• 50:12
  to
• 50:12
  notice
• 50:12
  that
• 50:13
  nobody
• 50:13
  is
• 50:13
  on
• 50:13
  him
• 50:14
  and
• 50:14
  to
• 50:14
  immediately
• 50:15
  cut
• 50:16
  from
• 50:16
  the
• 50:17
  baseline
• 50:19
  into,
• 50:19
  into
• 50:20
  the
• 50:20
  paint
• 50:21
  to
• 50:21
  get
• 50:21
  that
• 50:21
  Rebound
• 50:21
  because
• 50:22
  Wemby's
• 50:23
  not
• 50:23
  there
• 50:25
  because
• 50:25
  Brunson
• 50:26
  was
• 50:26
  being
• 50:26
  double
• 50:27
  teamed
• 50:27
  because
• 50:28
  when
• 50:28
  we
• 50:28
  came
• 50:29
  over
• 50:29
  and
• 50:30
  there's
• 50:30
  nobody
• 50:31
  on
• 50:32
  the
• 50:32
  inbounder
• 50:33
  and
• 50:34
  to
• 50:34
  have
• 50:34
  the,
• 50:35
  the
• 50:36
  smarts
• 50:36
  to
• 50:36
  know,
• 50:37
  okay,
• 50:37
  I
• 50:37
  have,
• 50:38
  I
• 50:38
  have
• 50:38
  free
• 50:38
  reign
• 50:39
  to
• 50:39
  go
• 50:39
  move
• 50:39
  here
• 50:40
  and
• 50:40
  to
• 50:41
  get
• 50:41
  any
• 50:41
  loose
• 50:41
  rebound
• 50:42
  he
• 50:43
  like
• 50:43
  even
• 50:43
  if
• 50:43
  he
• 50:44
  didn't
• 50:44
  do
• 50:44
  the
• 50:44
  tip
• 50:44
  and
• 50:44
  he
• 50:45
  was,
• 50:45
  he
• 50:45
  was
• 50:45
  probably
• 50:45
  still
• 50:45
  going
• 50:46
  to
• 50:46
  get
• 50:46
  that
• 50:46
  rebound
• 50:46
  and,
• 50:46
  and
• 50:47
  just
• 50:47
  put
• 50:47
  it
• 50:47
  back
• 50:47
  up
• 50:47
  because
• 50:47
  there
• 50:48
  was
• 50:48
  going
• 50:48
  to
• 50:48
  be
• 50:48
  nobody
• 50:48
  around
• 50:49
  him.
• 50:49
  And
• 50:50
  to
• 50:50
  me
• 50:51
  that
• 50:51
  was
• 50:52
  one
• 50:52
  of
• 50:52
  the
• 50:52
  most,
• 50:54
  really
• 50:54
  one
• 50:54
  of
• 50:54
  the
• 50:54
  smartest
• 50:55
  plays
• 50:56
  of
• 50:56
  that
• 50:57
  entire
• 50:57
  run.
• 50:57
  Because
• 50:59
  some
• 50:59
  players
• 50:59
  aren't
• 51:00
  going
• 51:00
  to
• 51:00
  think
• 51:00
  that
• 51:00
  you,
• 51:01
  that
• 51:01
  they're
• 51:01
  going
• 51:01
  to
• 51:01
  just
• 51:01
  hang
• 51:02
  out
• 51:02
  behind
• 51:02
  the
• 51:03
  three
• 51:03
  point
• 51:03
  line
• 51:04
  and
• 51:04
  then
• 51:05
  that
• 51:05
  ball
• 51:05
  goes
• 51:06
  wide,
• 51:06
  there's
• 51:06
  nobody
• 51:07
  there
• 51:07
  and
• 51:08
  time
• 51:08
  runs
• 51:08
  out.
• 51:09
  Well,
• 51:09
  it's
• 51:09
  a
• 51:10
  heads
• 51:10
  up
• 51:10
  play
• 51:11
  from
• 51:11
  everybody
• 51:11
  involved.
• 51:13
  The
• 51:13
  awareness
• 51:14
  of
• 51:14
  Brunson
• 51:15
  to
• 51:16
  they
• 51:16
  really
• 51:17
  wanted
• 51:17
  Wembley.
• 51:17
  There
• 51:18
  was
• 51:18
  a
• 51:18
  lot
• 51:18
  of
• 51:18
  confusion
• 51:18
  with
• 51:19
  the
• 51:19
  Spurs.
• 51:19
  If
• 51:19
  you
• 51:19
  watch
• 51:19
  there's
• 51:20
  a
• 51:20
  clip
• 51:20
  that
• 51:20
  came
• 51:20
  out
• 51:21
  of
• 51:21
  all
• 51:21
  their,
• 51:22
  the
• 51:22
  way
• 51:22
  they
• 51:22
  were
• 51:22
  communicating
• 51:23
  before
• 51:23
  that
• 51:24
  play.
• 51:24
  All
• 51:24
  right,
• 51:25
  they
• 51:25
  didn't
• 51:25
  know.
• 51:25
  All
• 51:25
  right,
• 51:25
  I'm
• 51:25
  going
• 51:25
  to
• 51:26
  go
• 51:26
  here,
• 51:26
  you're
• 51:26
  going
• 51:26
  to
• 51:26
  go
• 51:26
  to
• 51:27
  McKellar,
• 51:27
  I'm
• 51:27
  going
• 51:27
  to
• 51:27
  go
• 51:28
  to
• 51:28
  OG
• 51:28
  or
• 51:29
  who's
• 51:29
  going
• 51:29
  to
• 51:29
  go
• 51:29
  to
• 51:29
  Bro.
• 51:30
  They
• 51:30
  just
• 51:30
  looked
• 51:31
  for
• 51:31
  a
• 51:31
  team
• 51:31
  that
• 51:31
  needed
• 51:32
  to
• 51:32
  stop
• 51:32
  to
• 51:33
  win
• 51:33
  a
• 51:33
  game
• 51:33
  and
• 51:33
  tie
• 51:34
  the
• 51:34
  series.
• 51:35
  There's
• 51:35
  a
• 51:35
  little
• 51:35
  bit
• 51:36
  too
• 51:36
  much
• 51:36
  dysfunction
• 51:36
  going
• 51:37
  on
• 51:37
  from
• 51:37
  what,
• 51:37
  from
• 51:37
  what
• 51:38
  I
• 51:38
  saw
• 51:38
  before
• 51:38
  that
• 51:38
  play,
• 51:39
  OG
• 51:40
  runs
• 51:40
  free
• 51:40
  like
• 51:40
  you
• 51:41
  said
• 51:41
  and
• 51:42
  makes
• 51:42
  the
• 51:42
  tip
• 51:42
  and
• 51:42
  look
• 51:42
  like
• 51:42
  Cat
• 51:43
  was
• 51:43
  in
• 51:43
  decent
• 51:43
  rebounding
• 51:44
  position.
• 51:44
  Once
• 51:44
  Wemby
• 51:44
  leaves
• 51:45
  the
• 51:45
  paint
• 51:46
  and
• 51:46
  once
• 51:46
  he
• 51:46
  left
• 51:46
  games
• 51:47
  like
• 51:47
  he
• 51:47
  played
• 51:47
  a
• 51:47
  lot
• 51:47
  of
• 51:47
  minutes
• 51:48
  in
• 51:48
  that
• 51:48
  series
• 51:48
  and
• 51:48
  it
• 51:48
  probably
• 51:49
  the
• 51:49
  wear
• 51:49
  and
• 51:50
  tear
• 51:50
  on
• 51:50
  his
• 51:50
  body
• 51:51
  being
• 51:51
  young
• 51:52
  and
• 51:52
  seven
• 51:52
  felt
• 51:53
  four
• 51:53
  or
• 51:53
  five
• 51:54
  that
• 51:54
  played
• 51:55
  an
• 51:55
  impact
• 51:55
  because
• 51:55
  anytime
• 51:56
  Luke
• 51:56
  Cornett
• 51:56
  was
• 51:56
  on
• 51:57
  the
• 51:57
  court
• 51:57
  and
• 51:57
  that's
• 51:58
  no
• 51:58
  disrespect
• 51:58
  to
• 51:58
  the
• 51:58
  former
• 51:59
  Nick,
• 51:59
  the
• 51:59
  paint
• 52:00
  felt
• 52:00
  very,
• 52:00
  very
• 52:01
  different.
• 52:02
  It's
• 52:03
  very
• 52:03
  different
• 52:03
  when
• 52:03
  you're
• 52:04
  trying
• 52:04
  to
• 52:04
  rebound
• 52:04
  and
• 52:04
  get
• 52:05
  layups
• 52:05
  off
• 52:05
  and,
• 52:06
  and
• 52:06
  run
• 52:06
  your
• 52:06
  offense
• 52:07
  and
• 52:07
  Wendy
• 52:08
  Wemby
• 52:08
  is
• 52:08
  a
• 52:09
  freak
• 52:09
  of
• 52:09
  nature.
• 52:10
  So
• 52:10
  when
• 52:10
  he
• 52:10
  was
• 52:10
  out
• 52:11
  of
• 52:11
  the
• 52:11
  pain
• 52:11
  and
• 52:11
  OG
• 52:12
  runs
• 52:12
  free
• 52:13
  and
• 52:13
  gets
• 52:13
  his
• 52:13
  hand
• 52:14
  on
• 52:14
  that
• 52:14
  ball
• 52:14
  and
• 52:14
  it
• 52:15
  falls
• 52:15
  in
• 52:15
  it's,
• 52:16
  it's
• 52:16
  euphoria
• 52:17
  like,
• 52:18
  like
• 52:18
  just
• 52:18
  thinking
• 52:18
  about
• 52:19
  it
• 52:19
  now
• 52:19
  I
• 52:19
  get
• 52:19
  like
• 52:20
  some
• 52:20
  of
• 52:20
  those
• 52:20
  that
• 52:20
  dopamine
• 52:21
  hit
• 52:21
  to
• 52:21
  my
• 52:21
  brain
• 52:22
  because
• 52:23
  you
• 52:23
  know,
• 52:23
  like
• 52:23
  I
• 52:23
  said
• 52:24
  glad
• 52:24
  that
• 52:24
  I
• 52:24
  was
• 52:24
  able
• 52:24
  to
• 52:24
  experience
• 52:25
  that.
• 52:25
  My
• 52:25
  brother
• 52:25
  in
• 52:26
  law
• 52:26
  and
• 52:26
  I
• 52:27
  wanted
• 52:27
  to
• 52:27
  be
• 52:27
  able
• 52:27
  to
• 52:27
  segue
• 52:28
  that
• 52:28
  into
• 52:28
  what
• 52:28
  I
• 52:28
  did
• 52:29
  for
• 52:29
  game
• 52:29
  five
• 52:30
  which
• 52:30
  was
• 52:30
  with
• 52:31
  my
• 52:31
  dad
• 52:31
  happy
• 52:31
  Father's
• 52:32
  Day,
• 52:32
  like
• 52:32
  you
• 52:32
  said,
• 52:34
  a
• 52:34
  lot
• 52:34
  of
• 52:34
  people
• 52:34
  ask
• 52:34
  me,
• 52:35
  what
• 52:35
  do
• 52:36
  you
• 52:36
  want
• 52:36
  to
• 52:36
  do?
• 52:36
  Do
• 52:36
  you
• 52:36
  want
• 52:36
  to
• 52:37
  go
• 52:37
  to
• 52:38
  the
• 52:38
  city?
• 52:38
  Do
• 52:38
  you
• 52:38
  want
• 52:38
  this?
• 52:39
  Once
• 52:39
  the
• 52:39
  Knicks
• 52:40
  got
• 52:40
  to
• 52:40
  three
• 52:40
  wins,
• 52:41
  unless
• 52:41
  I
• 52:41
  was
• 52:41
  going
• 52:42
  to
• 52:42
  go,
• 52:42
  I
• 52:42
  told
• 52:42
  you,
• 52:42
  I
• 52:42
  went
• 52:42
  to
• 52:42
  game.
• 52:43
  Obviously,
• 52:43
  we're
• 52:43
  talking
• 52:43
  about
• 52:43
  going
• 52:43
  to
• 52:43
  game
• 52:44
  four.
• 52:44
  So
• 52:44
  if
• 52:44
  they
• 52:44
  were
• 52:44
  up
• 52:45
  three,
• 52:45
  oh,
• 52:45
  I
• 52:45
  wouldn't
• 52:45
  have
• 52:45
  been
• 52:45
  able
• 52:46
  to
• 52:46
  watch
• 52:46
  it
• 52:46
  with
• 52:46
  him.
• 52:47
  But
• 52:48
  once
• 52:48
  it
• 52:48
  was
• 52:48
  3:1
• 52:49
  and
• 52:50
  the
• 52:50
  game
• 52:50
  five
• 52:50
  was
• 52:50
  looming,
• 52:51
  that
• 52:51
  they
• 52:51
  could
• 52:52
  win
• 52:52
  a
• 52:52
  championship,
• 52:53
  there's
• 52:54
  not.
• 52:54
  That's
• 52:55
  when
• 52:55
  all
• 52:55
  the
• 52:55
  parties
• 52:55
  stop.
• 52:57
  You
• 52:57
  know
• 52:57
  what
• 52:57
  I'm
• 52:57
  saying?
• 52:57
  Yeah.
• 52:58
  That's
• 52:58
  when.
• 52:59
  All
• 52:59
  right,
• 53:00
  I
• 53:00
  know
• 53:00
  you
• 53:00
  guys
• 53:00
  are
• 53:00
  doing
• 53:00
  this.
• 53:01
  I
• 53:01
  know
• 53:01
  you
• 53:01
  guys
• 53:01
  are
• 53:01
  doing
• 53:02
  that.
• 53:02
  You
• 53:03
  know,
• 53:03
  my
• 53:03
  parents
• 53:03
  are
• 53:03
  now,
• 53:04
  you
• 53:04
  know,
• 53:04
  I'm
• 53:04
  not
• 53:04
  going
• 53:04
  to
• 53:04
  mention
• 53:04
  the
• 53:05
  numbers,
• 53:05
  but
• 53:06
  nobody's
• 53:06
  getting
• 53:06
  any
• 53:07
  younger.
• 53:07
  Let's
• 53:07
  just
• 53:07
  leave
• 53:08
  it
• 53:08
  at
• 53:08
  that.
• 53:08
  In
• 53:08
  terms
• 53:08
  of
• 53:09
  opportunities,
• 53:10
  the
• 53:10
  way
• 53:10
  I
• 53:10
  look
• 53:11
  at
• 53:11
  it
• 53:11
  in
• 53:11
  life,
• 53:12
  and
• 53:13
  the
• 53:13
  reason
• 53:14
  why
• 53:14
  this
• 53:14
  Nick
• 53:15
  title
• 53:15
  meant
• 53:15
  so
• 53:16
  much
• 53:16
  to
• 53:16
  so
• 53:16
  many
• 53:16
  people
• 53:17
  was
• 53:17
  obviously
• 53:18
  the
• 53:18
  drought,
• 53:19
  but
• 53:19
  obviously
• 53:19
  was
• 53:20
  the
• 53:20
  care.
• 53:20
  But
• 53:20
  then,
• 53:20
  you
• 53:21
  know,
• 53:21
  some
• 53:21
  people
• 53:21
  get
• 53:21
  emotional
• 53:22
  because
• 53:22
  they
• 53:22
  know
• 53:22
  that
• 53:22
  certain
• 53:23
  family
• 53:23
  members
• 53:23
  aren't
• 53:23
  here
• 53:24
  to
• 53:24
  experience
• 53:24
  it.
• 53:25
  So
• 53:25
  I
• 53:25
  made
• 53:26
  sure,
• 53:26
  hey,
• 53:26
  I
• 53:26
  don't
• 53:26
  know
• 53:27
  when
• 53:27
  we're
• 53:27
  going
• 53:27
  to
• 53:27
  get
• 53:27
  this
• 53:28
  chance
• 53:28
  again.
• 53:29
  This
• 53:29
  is
• 53:29
  where
• 53:30
  there's
• 53:30
  not
• 53:30
  another
• 53:30
  place
• 53:31
  that
• 53:31
  I
• 53:31
  want
• 53:31
  to
• 53:31
  be.
• 53:32
  But
• 53:32
  with,
• 53:33
  you
• 53:33
  know,
• 53:34
  my
• 53:34
  father,
• 53:34
  who
• 53:34
  again,
• 53:35
  took
• 53:35
  me
• 53:35
  to
• 53:36
  a
• 53:36
  lot
• 53:36
  of
• 53:36
  games
• 53:36
  growing
• 53:36
  up,
• 53:37
  he
• 53:37
  has
• 53:38
  the
• 53:38
  athlete
• 53:38
  background.
• 53:39
  You
• 53:39
  know,
• 53:39
  it's
• 53:40
  something
• 53:40
  that
• 53:40
  we
• 53:40
  bonded
• 53:41
  over
• 53:41
  a
• 53:41
  lot
• 53:41
  when
• 53:41
  I
• 53:42
  was
• 53:42
  younger.
• 53:43
  And
• 53:43
  again,
• 53:44
  this
• 53:44
  is
• 53:44
  something
• 53:45
  that
• 53:45
  I
• 53:46
  want
• 53:46
  to
• 53:46
  talk
• 53:46
  about,
• 53:47
  I
• 53:47
  want
• 53:47
  to
• 53:47
  tell
• 53:48
  stories
• 53:48
  about,
• 53:48
  because
• 53:50
  it
• 53:50
  just
• 53:50
  becomes
• 53:51
  bigger
• 53:51
  than
• 53:51
  the
• 53:51
  game
• 53:52
  at
• 53:52
  that
• 53:52
  point.
• 53:52
  It
• 53:52
  becomes
• 53:53
  a
• 53:54
  something
• 53:54
  that
• 53:54
  you
• 53:55
  could
• 53:55
  bond
• 53:55
  over.
• 53:56
  And
• 53:57
  that.
• 53:57
  That
• 53:58
  hug
• 53:59
  that
• 53:59
  I
• 53:59
  remember
• 53:59
  for
• 53:59
  those
• 54:00
  giant
• 54:00
  Super
• 54:00
  Bowls
• 54:00
  as
• 54:01
  well,
• 54:01
  but
• 54:01
  that
• 54:01
  hug,
• 54:03
  there's
• 54:03
  nothing
• 54:04
  you
• 54:04
  could
• 54:04
  run
• 54:04
  around
• 54:05
  and
• 54:05
  scream
• 54:05
  outside
• 54:06
  the
• 54:06
  Garden,
• 54:07
  but
• 54:07
  that.
• 54:07
  It's
• 54:08
  that
• 54:08
  hug.
• 54:08
  Right?
• 54:08
  It's
• 54:09
  that
• 54:09
  moment
• 54:10
  with
• 54:10
  your
• 54:10
  loved
• 54:11
  ones
• 54:12
  after.
• 54:13
  He
• 54:13
  knows
• 54:13
  the
• 54:13
  amount
• 54:13
  of
• 54:14
  time
• 54:14
  I
• 54:14
  spend
• 54:14
  with
• 54:14
  this,
• 54:14
  too,
• 54:16
  and
• 54:16
  he
• 54:17
  instilled
• 54:17
  that.
• 54:18
  The
• 54:18
  work
• 54:18
  ethic,
• 54:19
  the
• 54:19
  passion
• 54:19
  for
• 54:19
  the
• 54:19
  sport.
• 54:20
  So
• 54:21
  I
• 54:21
  was
• 54:21
  just
• 54:21
  glad
• 54:21
  we
• 54:21
  got
• 54:22
  that
• 54:22
  and
• 54:23
  we
• 54:23
  could
• 54:24
  talk
• 54:24
  about
• 54:24
  that
• 54:24
  for
• 54:24
  years
• 54:25
  to
• 54:25
  come,
• 54:25
  because
• 54:26
  he
• 54:26
  had
• 54:26
  been
• 54:27
  waiting
• 54:27
  a
• 54:27
  pretty
• 54:27
  long
• 54:27
  time.
• 54:27
  Longer
• 54:28
  than
• 54:28
  me.
• 54:28
  Yeah,
• 54:28
  I
• 54:28
  mean,
• 54:29
  like,
• 54:29
  that's
• 54:29
  one
• 54:29
  of
• 54:29
  the
• 54:29
  things
• 54:29
  like.
• 54:30
  Like
• 54:30
  you
• 54:30
  watch
• 54:30
  the
• 54:30
  videos
• 54:31
  on.
• 54:31
  On
• 54:31
  YouTube
• 54:31
  when
• 54:31
  a
• 54:32
  team
• 54:32
  wins
• 54:32
  a
• 54:32
  championship
• 54:33
  for
• 54:33
  the
• 54:33
  first
• 54:33
  time
• 54:34
  in
• 54:34
  a
• 54:34
  really
• 54:34
  long
• 54:35
  time,
• 54:35
  and
• 54:35
  you
• 54:36
  watch,
• 54:36
  like,
• 54:36
  people's
• 54:37
  grandparents
• 54:37
  just,
• 54:38
  you
• 54:38
  know,
• 54:38
  overcome
• 54:39
  with.
• 54:39
  Because
• 54:39
  they
• 54:39
  were
• 54:40
  waiting
• 54:40
  so
• 54:40
  long.
• 54:41
  I
• 54:41
  remember
• 54:42
  when.
• 54:42
  When
• 54:42
  the
• 54:42
  Cubs
• 54:43
  won
• 54:43
  the
• 54:43
  world
• 54:43
  series
• 54:43
  in
• 54:43
  2016,
• 54:44
  and
• 54:45
  you're
• 54:45
  watching,
• 54:45
  you
• 54:46
  know,
• 54:46
  70
• 54:47
  and
• 54:47
  80
• 54:47
  year
• 54:47
  old
• 54:47
  men
• 54:48
  in
• 54:48
  tears
• 54:49
  because
• 54:49
  they
• 54:49
  never
• 54:50
  thought
• 54:50
  that
• 54:50
  they
• 54:50
  would
• 54:50
  see
• 54:51
  the
• 54:51
  Cubs
• 54:51
  win
• 54:51
  the
• 54:51
  World
• 54:51
  Series.
• 54:52
  And
• 54:53
  you
• 54:53
  know,
• 54:53
  very
• 54:53
  similar
• 54:54
  with
• 54:54
  the
• 54:54
  Knicks.
• 54:55
  It
• 54:55
  had
• 54:56
  been
• 54:56
  53
• 54:56
  years.
• 54:57
  Like
• 54:57
  really
• 54:58
  the
• 54:58
  people
• 54:58
  who
• 54:59
  remember
• 54:59
  seeing
• 54:59
  that
• 55:01
  are
• 55:02
  in
• 55:02
  their
• 55:03
  late
• 55:03
  60s,
• 55:04
  early
• 55:04
  70s.
• 55:06
  And
• 55:06
  you
• 55:06
  know,
• 55:07
  for,
• 55:07
  for
• 55:08
  two
• 55:08
  entire
• 55:08
  generations
• 55:09
  of
• 55:09
  Knicks
• 55:09
  fans,
• 55:10
  it's
• 55:10
  really
• 55:10
  been
• 55:12
  lot
• 55:12
  of
• 55:13
  bad
• 55:13
  basketball.
• 55:14
  And
• 55:14
  now
• 55:15
  all
• 55:15
  of
• 55:15
  that
• 55:16
  goes
• 55:17
  away
• 55:18
  because
• 55:18
  now
• 55:19
  they
• 55:19
  got
• 55:19
  to
• 55:19
  the
• 55:19
  top.
• 55:19
  Like,
• 55:20
  I
• 55:21
  don't
• 55:21
  want
• 55:21
  to
• 55:21
  say
• 55:21
  it
• 55:21
  doesn't
• 55:21
  matter
• 55:22
  what
• 55:22
  happens
• 55:22
  in
• 55:22
  the
• 55:22
  next
• 55:22
  20
• 55:23
  years.
• 55:23
  Obviously
• 55:23
  you
• 55:23
  would
• 55:23
  like
• 55:24
  to
• 55:24
  see
• 55:24
  them
• 55:24
  win
• 55:24
  more,
• 55:25
  but.
• 55:25
  Yeah,
• 55:25
  greedy,
• 55:26
  right?
• 55:26
  Yeah.
• 55:26
  But
• 55:27
  you
• 55:28
  got
• 55:28
  the
• 55:28
  one
• 55:29
  and
• 55:30
  it's
• 55:30
  the
• 55:30
  one
• 55:30
  that's
• 55:30
  going
• 55:31
  to
• 55:31
  stay
• 55:32
  with,
• 55:33
  with
• 55:33
  you
• 55:33
  forever
• 55:34
  because
• 55:35
  of
• 55:35
  what
• 55:35
  went
• 55:35
  into
• 55:36
  it
• 55:36
  and
• 55:36
  that
• 55:36
  you
• 55:37
  did
• 55:37
  get
• 55:37
  to
• 55:37
  experience
• 55:37
  it
• 55:38
  with
• 55:38
  the
• 55:38
  people
• 55:38
  that
• 55:39
  you
• 55:39
  wanted
• 55:39
  to
• 55:40
  experience
• 55:40
  it
• 55:40
  with.
• 55:41
  Well,
• 55:41
  I
• 55:42
  talk
• 55:42
  about
• 55:42
  this
• 55:42
  with
• 55:42
  my
• 55:43
  cousins
• 55:43
  a
• 55:43
  lot.
• 55:43
  The
• 55:44
  dark
• 55:44
  cloud
• 55:44
  that
• 55:44
  hangs
• 55:45
  over
• 55:45
  some
• 55:45
  of
• 55:45
  these
• 55:45
  franchises.
• 55:47
  We
• 55:47
  know
• 55:47
  that
• 55:47
  the
• 55:47
  Giants
• 55:48
  got
• 55:48
  a
• 55:48
  couple.
• 55:48
  I'm
• 55:49
  a
• 55:49
  Giant,
• 55:49
  Nick
• 55:49
  met
• 55:49
  guy.
• 55:49
  I
• 55:50
  know
• 55:50
  you're
• 55:50
  a
• 55:50
  hockey
• 55:50
  guy.
• 55:50
  I'm
• 55:50
  not.
• 55:51
  But
• 55:52
  that's
• 55:52
  a
• 55:52
  conversation
• 55:53
  for
• 55:53
  another
• 55:53
  day.
• 55:54
  But
• 55:54
  we
• 55:54
  talk
• 55:54
  about
• 55:54
  the
• 55:55
  dark
• 55:55
  cloud
• 55:56
  and
• 55:56
  we
• 55:56
  talk
• 55:56
  about
• 55:57
  exorcisms,
• 55:58
  right?
• 55:58
  Not
• 55:59
  real
• 55:59
  life
• 55:59
  ones,
• 56:00
  but
• 56:00
  sport
• 56:01
  ones.
• 56:01
  And
• 56:02
  what
• 56:03
  was
• 56:03
  going
• 56:03
  on
• 56:03
  in
• 56:04
  the
• 56:04
  garden
• 56:04
  during
• 56:04
  this
• 56:05
  run
• 56:05
  where
• 56:05
  you
• 56:06
  get
• 56:06
  the
• 56:06
  Shamut
• 56:06
  bounce
• 56:07
  in
• 56:07
  game
• 56:07
  one
• 56:08
  of
• 56:08
  the
• 56:08
  conference
• 56:08
  finals
• 56:09
  and
• 56:09
  you
• 56:09
  get
• 56:09
  these
• 56:10
  comebacks
• 56:10
  and
• 56:10
  you
• 56:10
  got
• 56:10
  to
• 56:11
  get
• 56:11
  lucky
• 56:11
  sometimes
• 56:12
  too,
• 56:12
  right?
• 56:12
  Like
• 56:12
  some
• 56:13
  of
• 56:13
  these
• 56:13
  bounces
• 56:13
  that
• 56:13
  roll
• 56:14
  in
• 56:14
  and
• 56:14
  roll
• 56:14
  out.
• 56:14
  The
• 56:15
  Sam
• 56:15
  Merrill
• 56:15
  shot
• 56:15
  in
• 56:16
  game
• 56:16
  one
• 56:16
  also
• 56:16
  could
• 56:16
  have
• 56:17
  been
• 56:17
  a
• 56:17
  game
• 56:17
  winner.
• 56:18
  And
• 56:18
  the
• 56:18
  Wemby
• 56:18
  game
• 56:19
  winner
• 56:19
  attempts
• 56:20
  and
• 56:20
  the
• 56:20
  free
• 56:20
  throws
• 56:20
  that
• 56:20
  you
• 56:21
  miss
• 56:21
  and
• 56:21
  you
• 56:22
  need
• 56:22
  to
• 56:22
  get
• 56:22
  a
• 56:22
  couple
• 56:22
  breaks
• 56:23
  here
• 56:23
  and
• 56:23
  there.
• 56:23
  Not,
• 56:23
  that's
• 56:24
  not
• 56:24
  to
• 56:24
  take
• 56:24
  anything
• 56:24
  away
• 56:25
  from
• 56:25
  the
• 56:25
  run,
• 56:26
  but
• 56:27
  that
• 56:27
  has
• 56:27
  to
• 56:27
  happen.
• 56:28
  And
• 56:28
  we've
• 56:28
  been
• 56:29
  on
• 56:29
  the
• 56:29
  wrong
• 56:29
  side
• 56:30
  of
• 56:30
  history
• 56:31
  far
• 56:31
  too
• 56:32
  long.
• 56:32
  So
• 56:33
  it
• 56:33
  felt
• 56:33
  like
• 56:33
  such
• 56:33
  a
• 56:34
  relief
• 56:35
  to
• 56:35
  finally
• 56:35
  be
• 56:35
  the
• 56:36
  ones
• 56:36
  getting
• 56:37
  those
• 56:37
  bounces
• 56:38
  when
• 56:38
  it
• 56:38
  hadn't
• 56:39
  gone
• 56:39
  our
• 56:39
  way
• 56:39
  for
• 56:39
  so
• 56:39
  long.
• 56:40
  Well,

  When?
• 56:54
  I
• 56:55
  can't
• 56:55
  wait
• 56:55
  for
• 56:55
  the
• 56:55
  book
• 56:55

  When

  you

  and,

  it.

  I

  when

  I'll

  Hopefully

  soon.

  But
