  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, Bro. Unbelievable nineteen sixty two. Actually, Bro, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: wouldn't say seventy years, but however many years that is.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: That was my first Nick sixty four years.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: We're getting close to seventy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. I guess we are brough as my
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: first game with my wonderful late father.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I love hearing those stories. But I will tell
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you that we played some of your podcasts from a
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: couple of days ago, and when you broke down, we
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: all hear about the Charles Smith miss miss pushback, put
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: back against the Bulls, Ewing's finger role running coming off
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: against Indiana. But when you went all the way back
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: to the days when the Knicks blow an opportunity to
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: bring in Doctor J. I loved your walk down Memory Lane.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I loved it, Thank you, bro. That really starts it
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: when you think about the downward spiral, you know, right
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: after they won the championships, you know, nineteen seventy six.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Can you believe that the nick I think it was
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Gulf Western who actually was the running the team. Can
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: you imagine that they they said, no, no, no, adult, no,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: we want the four million dollars, not Doctor J. I mean,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: come on, you think it was Doctor J worth four
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: million dollars? I mean, come on me. What would the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: difference in that team have been, you know, in those
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you know terrible years, you know from I'm really that
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: really kind of started the fifty three year disaster if
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: they had Doctor J. What a mistake that was, right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Huge mistake, huge mistake. But you know you went over
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: a launch, you listen about ten other things. If you
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: wouldn't mind, let's do that again right now?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Really is that what you want to tell you? Can?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: You know why? Because Bernard used to say this, my
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: former late great partner you loved as well, Bernard McGirk.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: To really enjoy pleasure, really enjoy pleasure, you must endure pain.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Right, well, I want to give you a couple of
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: things that I didn't mention. You know, I was fortunate
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: enough to do a special show yesterday afternoon at the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: fan gave me a three hour afternoon show about the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: NICK Championship.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I heard, so it was great.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really appreciate that they did. I had Marv
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Albert J. Wright. It was great. Uh. Two things that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't bring up. Number one, the absolute disaster when
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: they drafted Frederick Frederick Weiss over.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: And then you know what they did that they said
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: they were okay at that small boat position they had
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I guess free Weller using they didn't need ron on test.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: What a freaking description Frederick Weiss. I think he's selling
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: shoes on the chance lyse Now, you know, somewhere somewhere
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: under the you know, the yark the triumph or something.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Remember when remember when Vince Carter and the Olympics jumped
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: right over his head and thunked on him. Yes, I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: what does that Frederick? And then this one, which I
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: had forgotten, I didn't mention. I'm so upset. So it
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: was the day of the NBA draft, right early two thousands,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and I'm driving in and Mike and Amadog Aaron and
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I this is the first I heard about it. They're
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: talking about this trade that Knicks made with the Denver Nuggets.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: They traded Marcus Camby and their first round draft choice,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: which turned out to be Nne remember him.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And he turned down Lario Hilario right right.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Who turned out to be a damn good player for
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Antonio mc dice Hawley right. And Mike and Chris are
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: going on, oh, what a great trade for the Knicks.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And I'm like saying, what are you nuts? You're giving
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: up Camby in this first Well, we didn't even know
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: who the first round pick was at that time for
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: this guy. Oh and he never played.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And I tell you something else what I was in
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Miami and I got a call from Larry King's people.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I gotta tell you this right right, And they ended
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: up on the Larry King Show right about the end
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: of Larry King's reign. And why was it because Lebron
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: James is going to announce on television. So they had
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Kim Bokamper, a former Dophin football player, down in Miami. Yes,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: they had Stephen A. Smith in Philadelphia. I was at
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: jay Z's Bar in New York again. At the time
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of living in Boca Raton, Florida, I had a fly
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: in New York for Larry King. I'm at jay Z's bar,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and they had somebody else in Cleveland. I meget who
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: it was, but I sat there like the rest of
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: us and watched Jim Gray talk to Lebron James, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: James told the world he's taking his talents to South
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: each which resulted in four consecutive NBA Finals appearances with
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Wayte and Bosh. They won two of those and we
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: took Stodamyer. Now I know Stodam that first year had
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: a great year, one of the all time great next seasons,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: but that was it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: They got four championship runs with Lebron James and Miami.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And I know he's Jewish. I love that about him.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: We had one good year. That was it. That was it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'll never forget that, be honest about this, Okay.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Lebron James didn't have the balls through New York. That's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: really to me what it was, because he knew if
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: he came here and he didn't win, he was gonna
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: hear it. He had to win a championship coming to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the Knicks. You know, he loved to come to the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Garden and kill us, but he didn't. He didn't have
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the guy own.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: That's that's why, that's why Greg Maddix didn't come here.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Steian bar bentover backwards aget Maddicks here. He played for
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the Braves in the Cubs. Musina didn't want to come either,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: but eventually they got him here. But a lot of
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: those guys don't want to come here.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Lebron was scared to come to New York.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: There's no question about it. Screw him. You know, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: got no wall for Lebron. I mean, well, just I
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: don't even want to go.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: But if he wants to retires in New York and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you come here and play one year part of him.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: In no way, no way. And and thank god, so
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: many trades they didn't make. They didn't trade for Donovan Mitchell,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: they didn't trade for Gianni's Oh my god, thank god
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they didn't get these guys. But sid, there was so many,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: so many How about how about the Albianki making the
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: mistake of letting Bernard King go after he got hurt
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and we never got the opportunity to see Bernard and
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Patrick Flay together and I'll never figure you remember this night.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: And this is the only time, and I said this
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: on my podcast, the only time I ever rooted against
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the Knicks. But Nod was on the Bullets. He came
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: back and that night he lit the Knicks up for
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: forty nine. Do you remember that game?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: He led the league in scoring that year, right, his
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: first year in Washington, coming off as Nick knee injury,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: he led the league in scoring.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And at forty nine has come his return to the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Garden against the Knicks. I'll never forget that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: What a mistake that was.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It was terrible, terrible, yep. And then the power struggle,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: which this really set the franchise back, the power struggle
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: between pat Riley and Dave check its right, and and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Riley faxes his res resignation in after the ninety five season,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: after the finger Patrick finger roll game, and look what happened?
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: He no, no, you got you. Look what happened four
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: years after that, Jeff ben Gundy had the Knicks back
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: in the finals. It was only four years. Yeah, I
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: mean the real, the real when it WILLI fell apart
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: for the Knicks, believe it or not, was after see
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: when Ben Gundhi took that team to the finals. The
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Knicks fired you may remember this. They ed top Scott
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: and Onny Grunfelt blunt felt in all those traits, so
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: they fire him up. And then then you and I
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: are working together with the fan.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Then Larry Brown, Yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Larry Brown and Isaiah Thomas, Isaiah Thomas and Phil Jackson.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: That's when it got really ugly after Van Gundy from
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: two thousand on till Carmelo game.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: It did. Remember they lost that that two thousand and
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: one playoff first round series. They lost the Raptors. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: remember that they lost the Raptors.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: You know you know who you know who was back
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: on that Raptor team.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: That year back on. I know Chris Chiles was on
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that team.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Charles Oakley was. That's we traded Oakley to the Raptors
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: from Marcus Jady.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I didn't remember.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Also, I think I believe they also had Vince Carter
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: and Tracy McGrady, but Oakley was on that team.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, you see Oakley on
• 8:50

• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I have to tell you, I kind of can I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: ask you something?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: For me? A lot of my sports memories A louple
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: me with you, to be honest though those years of
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: the fan. But most of my sports memories when sports
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: meant more to me that it does now, I still
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: love it, still love it. Was my dad, and my
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: dad'll be gone six years next month. But he was
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: my Not only did he take me to all the games,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: to all the professional teams, but my dad, Harvey was
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: my was my baseball coach at North Haghway Little League.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: He was my football coach number So my dad loved
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: you Kings play football. My dad loved you. So I
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: automatically think of my dad used to I guess you
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: still do that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Too, so well, I mean, look, he's my father, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: you know I feel about him. You know, he's a
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: prisoner war. He was captured at the Battle of the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Bulge in World War Two, nine months as a German
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: in the German captivity and you know, really it really
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: kind of cut his wife short. He was forty four
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: when he died in nineteen sixty seven. But he really
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: got me, got me into basketball, to take me to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the garden all the time. You know, I get off
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the bus at school, go right to where he worked,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and you know, we went into the garden on fiftieth
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: and eighth and he sold all those great double headers.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I remember, you know, with him after games. I remember
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: chasing down Oscar Robertson for an autograph with my father,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Sam Jones, Sam and Casey Jones getting into a cab
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and getting an autograph. I mean, is you know these
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: are memories that you just can't Yeah, well, I mean
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: what can you say? And you know, I wish he
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: was around. I wish he was around. I mean he's
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: long gone, but I wish he was around for Saturday Night. Yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: because it really really said it. It was such a
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: special moment, and I got to tell you I think
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: about I was telling my wife this this morning. You know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: all the stuff that happened, all the negativity, like I said,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the Charles Smith, the finger roll, the suspensions on the bench,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the twenty years in the Abyss, and even last year,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you know, losing to Indiana, hal Burton shot going up
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: and down, and you know when Carmelo got stuffed at
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the rim by Roy Hibbert. You know, you know, all
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of that stuff now is gone, Like like, I think
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: about that and it just doesn't really matter any you
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: know what I mean.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I mean that's what we won. We won, So that
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: does bode the question, Ye, will you be at this
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: parade on Thursday.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Here's the problem with the parade on Thursday, My wonderful
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: my beloved granddaughter is graduating high school. Now, if I
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: can sum if here's the deal with the parade, you
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: know it's gonna be insane. There's gonna be there's gonna
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: be the biggest parade in the history of of the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Canyon of Heroes. I think you're gonna have three four
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: million people there. O great, I mean New York's delirious,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: so of it and knicks and right for.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Well, that's because, like I said a million times this week,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: look the Yankees. There are more Yankee bands and met bands,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: but they do split the city. There are more Giant
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: bands and jet bands, but they do split the city.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: There are no net bands outside of Evan Roberts. That's it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it pretty much. That's it. Right then that
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: should have stayed in New Jersey. I really think. So
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: they should go better identity, They should go by identity.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: What they should go back to Jersey, go back.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Now they had a better identity, there's no question about it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: But they couldn't wait to have that Brooklyn across. They
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: think they want to be the second coming of the Dodgers.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna happen. So if I could get myself
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in a position where I could get somewhat close, like
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if the if the fan
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: is broadcasting from it, I don't know that. I don't
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: know if I could get up there, if they were
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and be close, I probably would at least go because
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be early. What times? Just thought, like ten
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: o'clock what time?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be It'll be EVIDENTI yeah, yeah.
