Rumson gets it, fires up a three. Shot, no go. The tip it's gone! It's gone! It's gone! With 1.2 remaining!

The greatest comeback in sports history. In history. In history. In history. 107-106 in Gotham. The New York Knicks are up 3-1, headed back to San Antonio. And while I want so badly to hear that pop, the Brian Christopher pop of a game six win back in the garden. To quote the very blonde lady whose hair fell out right on my screen 30 years ago, she sitting court side, hey Peter, kick his ass. And I hope the Knicks do win it in game five. I want OG to whip out his dinghy and make it rain on the Spurs, Spur logo center court with the Larry O'Brien trophy behind it, the thing they will not be receiving. I want Alvarado to march on into San Antonio and jump with that god-given hop, and I want him to jump up high, yank his shorts down low, and put his ass in seven foot six Wemby's French frog face. I want the Knicks to make every sports pundit question. I want the I want the Knicks to make every sports pundit question, Wemby being the second coming of anything. I want him to be embarrassed. Okay, I want KG and those Tibetan monks to squeal. I'm 26 years old. I have been watching these Knicks, these Knickerbockers since grade school. I had my Amari Stodermeier jersey on for school spirit day in fifth grade. Alright, rep in my favorite team. A jersey that Hooer Amanda stole one day about six years ago. I don't even want to get into it. I was there for Zeke, Mike Dantoni, Mike Woodson, Rambus, Fisher, Hornesek, Mike Miller, David, I'm not even joking, fucking Fisdale, Tom Thibodeau, Coach of the Year, Must I Say, and Mike Brown, the best of all the Mike's I just mentioned. Frank Neilakita, Dennis Smith Jr., Kevin Knox, Luke Cornette when his lumberjack ass was here in New York, Reggie Bollock, Ennis Cantor, Kembo Walker, Nerland's Noel, Pablo Priggione, Old Man Jason Kidd, Andrea Barjani, Tingis fucking Pingus, Raymond Felton, Landry Fields, Jose Calderon, Finastis, Nat Giannis, Fanassis, Joekim Noah, Derek Rose twice. I watched two games of Jimmer for Dead, Orange Juliet, RJ, Obi Quickly, QG Brogden, Alec Burks, Taj, Cam Redditch for a week or two that somehow turned into Josh fucking hard. Portland, Stay Hopeless, Jericho Sims, the actual real heart of the New York Knicks franchise, the Villanova Legend, Ryan Arkinato, Precious, Evan Fournier, Obi's Kid Brother Jacob, Camp Payne, Dante DiVincenzo, Tyler Koelick, all just to get here to this very moment. What a game four it was. 13 straight, a stumble, a quick recovery, a team of destiny, does it ever feel so? And I will take a decisive Game 4 win with an NBA final history record comeback win down 29.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

It feels so great. I regret not watching the Knicks for the majority of my feelings. You were not a you were not a guy about it. I was somebody who said, hey, Brunson ain't on the team. I don't give a fuck. I did not worship the Knicks like you did for your entire notbringing. I went left, you went right. Honestly, I went through most of my life not caring about sports. Right. I started playing drums around 13, and I was like, you know what?

SPEAKER_00 3:14

You were like leather bracelets, pierced ears, hot topic shirts.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

It sounds like you're making a joke. I had so many leather bracelets.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Yeah, almost gauntlets, really, how large they were.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

Yeah. And not only were they gauntlets, they had a chain connecting them to their ring finger. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:28

And then you said, you know what's cool? What if I fulfill my masculine urge of getting a wallet? What if I connect that wallet with a chain, and that chain loops out of my jeans shorts, out of my jorts, and up to my belt.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Yeah, it's really cool to talk about how much of a pussy I was. You have to lie, I know. I was on the case. I agree. I agree.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

I can't I can't agree more.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

My point is I didn't care about sports at all. And I don't regret many things in my life. I regret one thing in my life. Not wrestling. So you regret two things. You regret two things. Maybe regretting about sports, because sports are so important. Honestly, religion, top notch. Sports, right under there.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

The New York Knicks, country. And I do not care if it's conspiratorial or if I am in some kind of way a propagandist here, but I do believe the NBA is at a crossroads here when it comes to who they actually want to win this series. Because on one hand, you have the Knicks who on paper are the quintessential team of the NBA. And I know we have the Lakers and the Celtics and all those wins, and I do believe the NBA would trade in that entire rivalry and the 18 and 17 banners just for it to all have happened the exact same way in New York, where New York was on top. The same way it was New York running it for years and years with the Yankees in baseball. Furthermore, the Knicks are the team of the city. You know, they actually do, in fact, play there, unlike everybody else. The Bronx, bombers on East 161st Street, big blue and gangrene, sadly, in the Meadowlands. The New Jersey Nets in the fucking Barkley Center. Have no fear Brooklyn is here. But this is New York basketball. This is the New York Knicks. That and then the Wemby side of the argument for the league, where they want to crown Vic as the new guy of the future to lead the league for the next 20 years, and they know for a fact that a sweep is bad for the legacy. They know that. For Victor Wemanyama's legacy, it's better to miss the playoffs altogether than it is to get swept into the playoffs. So they gave them game three. Yeah, for sure. They tried giving him game four. But we are so much better. We came away. That little moment in the middle of the game where they decided to flash on the screen going into half. This is like the largest lead in half, excluding the bubble. Now suddenly that Mickey Mouse ring of LeBrons is not kosher anymore. They don't include it.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Yeah, it mattered all of a sudden now, it's like eh, it counts.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

For the last five years, it's been no no no. That that was in fact a real ring. And that whole little hiatus there, sabbatical LeBron and AD hat to heal up and get it right. That doesn't actually take it away from it, it doesn't detract, but now all of a sudden when the Knicks are down going into halftime, suddenly they're like, well, that one doesn't really count actually. The Knicks suck.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

It counted on until now. Now also when you include the fact that they had no audience, they had no crowd, no travel. No travel, they're just this little confined arena. Now now all of a sudden it counts.

SPEAKER_00 6:05

Looking at the statue, Josh Hart, six points, eight rebounds, six assists. OG, 33 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. Carl Anthony Towns, big purr. 25 minutes played, got 13 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists. The captain, JB, Jalen Brunson, 36 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and Mikel Bridges running up the starting five, 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. Some stuff off the bench, nothing too crazy except for except for Jose Alvarado's eight points. GTA. 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and a hell of a lot more. I don't care that Brunson scored more than OG. While in reality he may have, in actuality, he did not. Brunson can have his 19 U MVP, his Bob Cousie award, his two championships at Villanova, his Big East Player of the Year award, and he wins. He wins, right? Winners win. It's what they do. However, when push came to shove tonight, while Brunson may have closed the gap, OG is the one who made sure to seal that lid real tight so the next guy comes into the kitchen, opens up the fridge, pulls out the jar, and he can't open nothing. He's entirely emasculated. We were in danger, danger. For the majority of the game.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

I quit after the first quarter of this game.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

I didn't even want to throw you under the bus here. But I'll call a spade a spade. Alright, you straight up said to me, Hey Alex, I think I just want to turn the game off.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

I said it before the first quarter was over.

SPEAKER_00 7:27

And I said, No, even if these Knicks, my Knicks, my New York Knicks, even if they do in fact go ahead and somehow, God forbid, get dog walked the rest of the way. Being up 2-0 to down 2-4, the same way the sons did, the same way Mikel Bridges had once done in his young career. If that had happened, I still said to you, even then, when times were dark, when the sun was setting and the moon was rising, blood moon and all, I said to you, I would rather watch every minute of the Knicks in the finals, even be if they lose. Because it's been twenty-six years since they've been there.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

And my response to that was a serious shug, a big old eye roll. And I was reaching for the remote. I didn't want to watch it at the first quarter. The first quarter had two minutes left, and I was like, these guys lost, they choke. Everybody on our starting lineup, Kat, Bronson, Hart, Michela Bridges, OG Aminobi.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

Choke artists. Well, it turns out our fearless leader, Mike Brown, was right. All we needed to do was close that gap to under 17. You go into the fourth quarter, 15, green pastures ahead. You're good to go.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

Yeah, he's good to go.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

But as the game is going on, we had our highs, we had our lows, we had our ebbs, we had our flows. But the Mike Brown adjustments, these rotations, the confidence on display. He doesn't care if he's sinking in quicksand, he's still sending tall shoulders back and chest out. Tom Thibodeau who? Tibbs, we lose that game in Cleveland, and then that gets in our heads, and we don't even come out against Cleveland. Cleveland goes to the finals. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

During the season, we're watching Mike Brown games, and it's like, why aren't you doing this? Why are you doing that? We're losing games, we should be winning. He's figured it out.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

He's the coach of coaches. He's the coach of coaches. And I hate to say it, but Richard Jefferson, RJ was right. Hart was ball watching for a minute there when Castle crashed the glass. And I hate to agree with Richard Jefferson the same way I would hate to ever agree with Legler. I hate him as well. If if RJ says legs one more time on the broadcast, I'll kick my own ass.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

You know what? I'll kick your ass and kick my ass afterwards.

SPEAKER_00 9:23

Uh Mike Breen, I am fine with you. I know you have your mixed feelings, Robbie.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

Yeah, the problem with him is uh RJ and legs. Don't shut the fuck up. Yeah, so he is. All they do is talk and talk and talk and talk. Green doesn't get a chance to talk because the other two idiots don't stop talking. And RJ is this cost making out with legs.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

It's insane. Suspiciously enough, Richard Jefferson can't seem to keep his arm off of the shoulder of Legler.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

Every time it cuts to him, he's like, hey, I'm yawning. Oh, put my hand on your left breast.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

Taylor Laudner, cheap brother doesn't too. Baker versus Murtaugh. Talking about our opponents. Uh Stefan Castle, you are an actual demon. Fuck your mother. Uh yeah, really. Go fuck your mother. Dylan Harper, you're an actual demon. Fuck your father. And fuck him five times for me. Julian Champagne, ugly. And I guess God gave you that three-point shot to make up for that facial hair you actually grow and somehow choose to keep. Ugly fucking face. Uh Wendy, you're skinny, you're French. You look like a jackass shaving the tip of your widow's peak. It's stupid that a little shadow you leave up front. Just look like the kid for times.

SPEAKER_01 10:28

Oh, yeah, it's good times, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

Dino might. Let your hair grow in actually, Victor. You look like a damn fool.

SPEAKER_01 10:33

Fool and a half.

SPEAKER_00 10:34

Keldon Johnson, you should probably be making a bigger impact than you are. De'Aaron Fox, I'm still waiting for Mike Brown to use that little sleep region trick he dropped back in Sacramento where he can just say like blueberry pie and suddenly De'Aaron Fox drops to the ground and can't play basketball anymore.

SPEAKER_01 10:49

I think you did it tonight because he missed a lot of shots.

SPEAKER_00 10:51

Luke Cornet, nothing else to say other than you're a genuine piece of shit. Stop meeting us every single playoff series on some other team as you team hop around. Just go end your career in Utah and get out of my face. And take Kelly O Linux unwashed, ugly ass with you. As far as the New York Knicks, the team who did in fact win, Alvarado, stud, should be given the keys to the city. He should be given his pick of the litter within New York City. I personally think that the Don who attended game three should formally present and offer Ivanka for the hometown hero, just on principle. Yep. He's twitchy, he's fast, and he's quick. Nothing is more dangerous. And he's super hot.

SPEAKER_01 11:31

I love the way his hair is pulled back in the corners with the headband. I think that's awesome. Wouldn't go that far.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

But he's a pest with a good base. And I loved that single leg he shot on Wemby. I'm not sure how it's chill, but I don't know how the Wemby shove to Brunson was chill either, so I guess it's fine. If this is okay, you can just go for the leg. I wonder what would happen if you go for the double leg. Also, my jaw was on the floor regarding the whole not a backcourt heads-up play from him because he's just got the game. He's got the Glock. Yeah, that was sick as hell. Richard Jefferson said it best surprise, surprise, but Alvarado, a savvy little Sphinx. Savvy little Sphinx. It's actually a backcourt violation when it's the ball and both feet. Jose Alvarado on a dime. Michael Jackson leans to the left. Turns out feet went across the line. Ball stayed behind. And we get the foul because of it. Shamit, he had his moments in the playoffs. He had them early. He hasn't had him as of late. That's fine. It's totally fine. He's ugly as sin, so he can have a couple foul games here and there. Hart, physical, he got ahead of himself. He was looking up for that ball when Castle crashed the glass. He missed that. He got a little lazy. He had his little choke on the missed go-ahead layaway. A little quick diagnostics report. Turns out Hart was gonna go for the dunk, then readjusted. All rim. Jalen, he came on right hot at the exact right time, right quick. Is it his best series? No. Has he had better moments? Yes. Did he come in when we needed him to in the clutch? He did. Did he score more than OG? Supposedly. OG just the tip, Ananobi. He's batting a thousand. He should probably be coronated. Make the Ananobi's the new royal family of the UK. That block on Fox was absolutely ridiculous. The putback was even more impossible to believe. That putback was insane. Fox is a fool, though. Just the way he's given OG that block in the first place. Why didn't he dribble it out? That will haunt him at night for the rest of his life. And he's the adult. He's older than me. He isn't the kid who's too little for this big moment on the team. He's supposed to be that veteran presence for the Spurs team. And the fact that he does not dribble the ball out, the fact that he even gives OG the opportunity just to stab pat. He says, hey, OG, please pat away. It's embarrassing.

SPEAKER_01 13:33

I hope ten years from now, he's going to bed. He wakes up in a cold sweat. He's thinking about it. OG's right there in his sleep. He can't stop thinking about it. I hope you get sick about it. I hope he eats it and you can't breathe down there.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

That's what I'm trying to do. Yeah, exactly. He's just an actual damn fool. Kicking the ball out of bounds, going for that layup. He passes a ball out of bounds, trying to give it to Stefan Castle across Wemby. He misses those James Harden step back threes. And Vic, his running mate, his partner in crime, his PIC. Vic misses both free throws, monster free throws to miss one of them. The guy shanks both of them. And not to mention, De'Aaron Fox also let OG Ananobi cut because he decided to double Brunson ran me for that final three. I'm just shocked that Vic didn't throw the ball off Castle's back, foul Brunson, and miss the go-ahead game winner if he was planning on losing again the whole time. Just like he did in game two. Hook Porty and Shohan, three, four good minutes doing big shit, even living on Little Street themselves. They come in when they're needed, they do just enough. Cat, he cried in his brother's arms. That's fine, I guess. He did hit that one big three. Mikel, he seems to be on his Sam Darnold arc of seeing ghosts out there, but he's trying to put it together. He had a few moments. Deuce has gotta be better. Mitch, he's gotta bring those lobs down. It's real fun to watch him grab them and hold them, but I promise you it feels twice as fun to actually bring him home and sink him in. And then Jordan Clarkson, JC's doing just enough.

SPEAKER_01 14:50

Yeah, he's really great at shooting. Yeah. He's really doing anything else. Yeah, yeah. He can't catch the ball, he can't dribble the ball, he can't look at the ball.

SPEAKER_00 14:58

It's similar to how that Brunson guy, our captain, how he can like really come up in the clutch and he can hit his shots and he can get to his spots and he can herky jerky left, herky jerky right, but he kind of sees like passing lanes and angles like a blind guy sees corners.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Yeah, for real. He can't pass for shit.

SPEAKER_00 15:15

Yeah, I don't want him passing any ball ever, not even on an open court, both hands from the chest right to the guy. I don't trust him facilitating almost at all. What I do trust is McKell in the mid-range, just off the elbow. I trust OG on any power-up dunk. Kat actually pulling up for three at some point in the game. Jalen's herky jerky shit. Hart on a coast to coast playing with steam, running down meats who can't handle the show. Kat also has a little more confidence pulling those threes. On every mismatch, he somehow he thinks about it, and we hear on the call every time. Oh, oh, Coral Anthony Towns. He thought about it for a second. Exactly. He needs to just start actually pulling the trigger on some of these. Yeah, he's thinking way too long. We need one pound of pressure on this trigger.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

And this Spurs team, honestly, everyone's saying the Spurs are great. This is a young team, blah, blah, blah. They suck. The Knicks are better.

SPEAKER_00 16:02

I agree with that sentiment. I don't know about this team sucking. I don't want to diminish our potential championship at even a little bit. Alright, I said three. This is actually the toughest team in the history of the NBA, and we are finding a way to beat them.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

Go walk back to San Antonio with your little Spurs. Go cling, cling, cling back to Texas and go fuck yourselves.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

I'm drinking the Kool-Aid here.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

So am I.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

We're ahead because of coaching. We actually are running lineups. We're getting creative. We're having four centers in the first quarter. We're playing along with these ticky-tacky fouls. They're every review somehow turns its head on to Car Anthony Towns is actually at fault. The calls are all going one way. Wemby is a punk and he's French. And that together is the difference between being just a criminal versus being a violent criminal.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

Yeah, not to harp on the whole calls are going one way. I know it was last game, but like so it's okay for the Spurs to grab our players by the neck, throw them in the ground. It's all fine well and good. If we breathe and blink too closely to the Spurs, that's a problem, that's a foul. That's a flagrant.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

If the seven foot-six giant gets pushed one inch off of his base, it's suddenly weird.

SPEAKER_01 17:02

If Cat blinks and the wind from his eyelashes goes blowing onto Wimbanama, it's a problem.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

In his glory as ever, from oh, I'm just blurry out there, to I'm actually just not playing to myself. If we just play good, not even good. If we just play normal, we'll beat them. I'm not scared. Oh French asshole. Wemby, after the game, he said it all. It was truly a game of two halves for the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Victor Wemanyama and the Spurs were on the wrong end of the most historic comeback in the NBA Finals history and are now tasked with overcoming a sizable deficit of their own to stay alive in the best of seven series, which they trail 3-1. Quote, we clearly weren't the most hungry in the second half. Wembanyama told reporters after the defeat, Wembanyama, who led the Spurs with 24 points, 9 of 25 shooting, and 13 rebounds, missed two crucial free throws with a minute 47 left in the fourth quarter as the Spurs clung to a 104-103 lead. Quote, I can't really explain it right now. I don't know, Wembanyama added. I think it's just execution greediness of some sort. End quote. The Spurs led 76-49 at a halftime to establish a new NBA record for the most points by a visiting team in the first half of a finals game. They managed only 30 points after the break, and that 46 point decrease tied the largest downturn from a first half to second in playoff game over the last 70 years, according to Elias. Quote, holding each other accountable, communicating and not pointing fingers, end quote. Quote, after that, we either got it or we don't. But we've proven that we can surpass these difficulties. Even though we haven't been there before, I'm convinced we are built this way, and we are gonna use the better of this, and it's gonna tighten us up, end quote. Mumble jarble gerbil gerbil. Wemanyama's just slurring his way through the finish line. Wemanyama and Ko will now return home ahead of the Saturday's Pivotal Game 5 in San Antonio. This is all uncharted territory for a young Spurs team lacking any playoff experience. Quote, it's gonna go one of two ways, a bad one and a good one, Wemanyama said. The bad one would be giving up, the good one would be getting stronger from this, getting more together, and I know this is what we're gonna do. End quote. Fuck your face, Victor, French frog, Wemmanyama.

SPEAKER_01 19:10

I think the Spurs are gonna all bend down, bottom jerseys down past their knees. Jeff T jersey on no drawers. Yep. Our starting lineup, fuck all of them in the air. No Vaseline. It's gonna be raw dog.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

Raw dog. I said going into the second half. No one can vindicate it, but you really, but I said it. I said OG needs to do it. Him or Mikkel or some combination in the end, it turned out just to be OG. When you were downtrodden things the Knicks had lost, along with every other fans watching this New York Knicks team, you thought it was over. And I said humbly, going into the second half, yeah, it'd be great if Jalen came on hot. It'd be sick if Kat took over, but what I think needs to happen is an OG come around, and what happened to have happened an OG come around finish.

SPEAKER_03 19:48

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 19:49

You can you can vindicate it. I can vindicate it. I just did. Mm-hmm. I was out after the first quarter, after the second quarter I was out. We're not gonna win. I was huffing and puffing. I kept making us alcoholic drinks. I was trying to drink my sorrows away. And you were like, you know what? I think we got this. I think OG's got this.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

I took all my money, I put it on the number eight. I wasn't going on black or on red or the first 12, the second 12, or the third 12. I was putting it all on my numbers, on OG. You did? You said that, and I didn't believe you, and I was wrong. I'll be honest, even with my infatuation with OG on Anobi tonight, Grand Theft Alvarado. GTA is a monster. Uh as far as the stars go, we need more T Swift. She looked absurdly hot. Maybe it was seeing her in the blue and orange. Maybe it's my love for Fleetwood Mac, and I liked her Stevie Nick shirt. Yeah. Maybe it was just the actual bounce itself. It was a combo of all three. But she somehow managed to outdo Kylie Jenner next to Tim Tam Shalading, who actually had her tits out like it was show and tell, and she had a thing quick on her feet, but what to show off? And then Swift with the SVU chick was cracked. Who had any idea T Swizzle was so pert and attractive all of a sudden? The real fans in the house, Spike Lee, he went through it. Adam and Jackie, they were going through it. Her and her varsity jacket, him and his vaguely Nyx-related orange sweatshirt. Jim Jam Fallon was contemplating shit. Fat Joe right next to him, physically getting thinner, like a Stephen King novel, and the game went on and we Nick's were starved.

SPEAKER_01 21:14

He looked angry the entire time.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

Jerry and Larry, who didn't even sit together. Larry was hanging out with Johnny McEnroe. They all went through the ringer, the three of them.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

Larry David, like he was ready to go home, go to sleep, you said to speak.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

Larry David crisscrossed his legs so far, I didn't even think he had a dick anymore.

SPEAKER_03 21:28

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 21:29

Then Rachel Zegler, the real bell of the ball, she was there in spirit posting back to the good old days when Disney used to fund her lavish lifestyle of actually being courtside. Unfortunately for her, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves came out in twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four and not twenty twenty six. Maria Maria Maria.

SPEAKER_01 21:44

All joking aside, because she's my Maria. I also would have gotten shot in the fucking heart and died for her.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

Yeah. Rachel Zegler died for our sins. Exactly. Um Michael J. Fox, he was sitting there, he was shaking and shit subtly as ever. Right on next to Lungquest, who is himself familiar with some big moments in MSG. And then not Joe, not Nick, but Kevin Jonas, Mr. Eleven. We all know Nick's fandom is as fake as Ben Stiller's, and that goes twice over for Marsha Brady next to him. But Nick Jonas wasn't there, Joe Jonas wasn't there. Kevin Jonas was, he was celebrating. Not to mention James Dolan sitting there, legs spread as far as humanly possible. He looked like he was having this big existential moment of his own like hubris. Like he felt all sanctimonious, saying how he was right the whole time. He never should have taken his hands off of the franchise. He never should have given up all that control to Leon Rose. He was second-guessing everything. The royalty as well. From the slums of Shyland, Wu-Tang Clan struck again. The Riz of the Jizza, Old Dirty Bastard, Inspector Dek Raekwan the Chef, You God, Ghostface, Killer, and the Method Man all in attendance. M-E-T-H-O-O-D man. M-E-T-H-O-D-Man. Not to mention the real celebrity row, Mello, Patrick Ewing, Johnny Boy, Latrell Spreewell, and Starberry himself, all right to the left of the basket. A short throws away from Spikley in the non-broadcast angle of the presentation.

SPEAKER_01 23:03

Well, John Starks is really the sixth man on the bench for the street. I agree.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

The way he hops up into every single call to get in there's face and tell him what's up and what's what, Johnny Boy is honestly quite possibly the real lifeblood of the 2026 New York Knicks, which would help a lot from that whole choke job he did in 1996.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Yeah, he's trying to redeem himself.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

The finals MVP, I know I shouldn't step too far in front of my own face, but I am thinking about it, and it feels like it's gotta be one of those Andre Iguidala type F MVPs. Unless Brunson goes nuclear in game five, it's just gotta go to someone who's been unsung, and Kat had it, and for a second he was that guy. But these last two games, back in the garden, back in New York, back in his supposed his central Jersey stomping grounds, he's gone a little limp.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Yeah, he's gotta shoot more threes.

SPEAKER_00 23:47

Sure, he can still fuck out there. He can give a thrust or two, but he's not really pounding Vaj anymore the way he was for those first two games. So I don't know if he's got it in him anymore.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

He seems a little scared, honestly.

SPEAKER_00 23:56

Hart would be the ultimate feel-good from the Lake Show to the Pelicans out to Portland of all places, and then coming to the mecha being the kind of player he is, everyone at home watching the glue guy actually come out on top would be an amazing finals MVP story, but he's got to grab at least 25 boards off the glass for that to feel right as an actual here's the award. Alvarado would be even more fun than Shaman getting it since Shaman's kind of cooling off. OG would feel good and really hush the whole, yeah, he actually makes more money than JB, and legacy-wise, you know, him having that one charity ring from back on the bench when he was injured in 2019 when the rappers went all the way, courtesy of Kawhi Leonard, when Kawhi bestowed that ring upon all those Northern Canucks. If OG goes ahead, has that charity ring he keeps nice in his little display, if he goes from having that charity ring to where the main star doesn't get it like with Tatum and Brown and Brown getting the finals MVP with the Celtics won in 2023, if OG Ananobi gets a finals MVP after that make-a-wish championship ring he has back in 2019, that's the equivalent of any role player like or Ron Harper getting five rings, just getting a finals MVP in itself.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Well, honestly, if he plays like he did tonight again, he deserves it.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

Yeah, he would deserve it immediately. And this Knicks big five at the end of the day really does feel kind of like that 1450 Atlanta Hawk shit where just everybody goes getting their nods. Because I want OG, JB, Bridges, Kat, and Hart all getting gold jackets at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_01 25:20

Yeah, I want all them but Bridges. Bridges is disappointing me in the last couple of games.

SPEAKER_00 25:23

I don't want to hear about the picks. I don't want to hear about Bridges' highs and lows. We wouldn't be here without him.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Fair, fair, fair.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Dante, DiVincenzo, you know, stay humble, young fella. Hope you find your way back, you dago.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

Yeah, really. Come back in a year or two.

SPEAKER_00 25:36

I hope to see Selena Gomez back in San Antonio. 2026, Selena with all the curves. And I know Tony Parker and Evelongoria split years ago, but I want to see her there too. I miss Gabby's Holise in San Antonio. But looking at this team, Devin Husself, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists. Champanny's ugly ass. Only 5 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists. Victor. Victor Wemanyama, 24, 13, and 1. De'Aaron Fox, 18-5, and 7. His best game of the series. Still not enough. Stefan Castle, 13-5-5. Dylan Harper, probably the best player on the team tonight. 21-4-3. Helen Johnson did nothing. 18 minutes, 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. That little young looking bitch, Brian, 5-5, 5 minutes, 5 points, 1 rebound. Luke Cornette, thankfully, does nothing because he's worth nothing.

SPEAKER_01 26:20

Yeah, fuck that guy. We played him last year. You don't even remember. That's my point. I didn't remember him. You kept bringing it up. Hey, remember that guy? Remember that guy? You showed me clips. I was like, nah, remember that guy? That guy's the biggest fucking asshole on this fucking planet.

SPEAKER_00 26:31

Luke Cornett had that one game last year against the Celtics where he was doing his nonsense Luke Cornette jump ball antics where he's hopping up arms in the air. He had some 10-point, 10 rebound, like eight block game, some bullshit last year against the Celtics. And he was on the Celtics, you just said? Last year he was.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

Pick a fucking team, asshole.

SPEAKER_00 26:48

I do not want to undersell that cat three in the corner, falling back into the crowd. You know which one I'm talking about. The guy is a slow-motion movie star. Vic needs to fix that thin little French guy mustache and have some class.

SPEAKER_01 27:02

Yeah, for fucking sure.

SPEAKER_00 27:04

OG is long, strong, and loves a thick woman in an itty-bitty thong. He absolutely loves an ass that'll swallow up a G string, and up north, two B stings. It's the greatest put back in MBA history. Ogugwa. Huh?

SPEAKER_01 27:19

You're saying it wrong. Ogugwa, Ogugwa. Still saying it wrong. I have no idea how to say it. I'm pretty positive it's Ogugwa. Two games ago, Chuck and Shaq were talking, and they're like, how do you say your name? And he goes, And he said, Ogugwa. He's like Ogaba Bagawa. No, Ogugwa. Because I respect it. Whatever it is, they repeated it back to me. That's wrong. They're wrong. I'm not. You're wrong. You're wrong.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

You're the guy who didn't think OG had it in him. I said Ogagawa had it from day one. I didn't think he had it in him. Overall, I think when you killed that mouse. Me? Yeah, the mouse in the house and the fox in the box. I'm the mouse trap guy. I think when you were like, let me capture this mouse on this mouse trap in the middle of the game in like the third quarter. Or the Knicks were in that run. If you think about it, the Knicks were down the first half of the third quarter. Then you went upstairs and you caught that mouse and you had it in the trap. Then you said, you know what? One trap's not enough. Let me put a second trap on that mouse, make it like into a little like a little uh little cake. Like an ice cream sandwich of a mouse trap. And then you said, No, hold on, that's not enough. Let me put it in a plastic bag and twist that shit tight. Let me make sure this mouse asphyxiates, and then let me take that, swing it around in a few good swirls, give it a little discombobulation as it's ex as it's choking on its own lack of air. And then you threw it into a garbage can. So you mean to say they would have lost if it wasn't for me. That's exactly what I'm saying. I think your mouse, field mice, field mouse, blood sacrifice. Yep. I think it was like the thing in Angel Heart with Johnny Handsome, Johnny Favorite.

SPEAKER_02 28:47

I know who I am. I know who I am. I know who I am. I know who I am.

SPEAKER_00 28:52

I know. Would you prefer horn tail and cloven hooves? I think that blood sacrifice was that Nola voodoo juju. I think Jose Alvarado spent time in New Orleans. He came back from Nola. He's back up northeast, he's in New York, he's in his hometown. I think he brought some of that whole, you know, abe dua dembalah bullshit. Yeah. I think he's doing some voodoo juju. And I think your mouse sacrifice actually is what helped the Knicks win the game tonight.

SPEAKER_01 29:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

They were losing until I sacrificed that mouse. Yeah, that mouse needed to die so the Knicks could be prosperous.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

I said the formidable words, omedumi du ba. Abe dua dembalah, give me the power I beg of you. I said that. I threw a little flame on that garbage, and it was like, here we go. Knicks won. Breaking all the historic records we could possibly break.

SPEAKER_00 29:42

Every historic record, every possible historic record we could have set for the last 15 games, every record we could have possibly set, the biggest comeback in the the biggest comeback in the fourth quarter, the biggest comeback in a half, the most points given up on the score, the second longest run in playoff history, the biggest comeback in NBA finals history.

SPEAKER_01 30:01

You know, there's a little thing called destiny, and a lot of people think it's bullshit. Destiny isn't real, but and also when you get to like uh a playoff like this, as like the Knicks, they are the epitome of the world. A team of destiny. Exactly. They are a team of destiny. A team of destiny.

SPEAKER_00 30:16

No, it doesn't feel historic. It feels entirely earned after all the hardships and all the jokes and all the mockeries where you have other povert actual poverty franchises. Because this is the thing most franchises don't realize. Even if the Knicks hadn't won for a hundred years, just being in New York makes them significantly better than any of the real poverty franchises, the Utah Jazzes, the Indiana Pacers.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

Even the Pacers' worst day is the Knicks' best day.

SPEAKER_00 30:40

I saw someone who had the audacity to comment on some YouTube short, I think it was on the Bill Simmons post on the ringer, and someone posted saying something to the effect of how, like, man, all this series proves is that if Tyrese Halliburton didn't rupture his Achilles in game seven of the finals last year, then he would have beat the Oklahoma City Thunder last year, and then he would have swept the playoffs this year, and he too would have beaten the Spurs because he's because obviously the Pacers are better than the Knicks, and that of course Tyrese Halliburton then would have been defending back-to-back champions and actually won two in a row.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

You don't have to say that on that? Halburn's a fat fuck now.

SPEAKER_00 31:18

That's exactly the point I would walk away with as well, because it's like you saw Jason Tatum. Jason Tatum came back and he tried, he fought against Philly. We didn't. Tyrese Halburn just a chubby chubby chubby bunny. Exactly. And just a chubby bunny. Chubby bunny's the ice cream. I saw a video of Tyrese Halburn the other day doing the chubby bunny challenge, crying while he was doing it.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

He's like, Chubby Bunny!

SPEAKER_00 31:37

Chubby Bunny! He was chubby than the bunnies or we got OG the tip ananobi. We got Robbie the mouse catcher Eurysitz. Yeah, for sure. We got Alex. What's my nickname? Uh Alex the Palax. Alex the Malice. Malice at the palace, Alex. Yep. But I'm excited to watch Pee-Wee to Plug. I want to see what Pierre has to say, what Kenny's gotta say, scap attack, awful coaching, run it back, NBA, that silly filly-willy, the funky diabetic, even those schnooks from synthetic sports. I wanna see what every Jagul's gotta say. And more than anyone, I wanna hear about Blurry Wemby trying to turn that cream into butter and explain his way out of the barrel on this one. Wemanyama, he should just go down to the Bowery and get with the other fucking drunks where he belongs. And to the Spurs fans, Jesus Christ, some more suckers who think this shit heals a war hero. Wemby was earmarked for a general, but Wemby likes to spit in everybody's eyes, so what do they call it when they give you the shaft in the military? You're passed over, and Victor Wemanyama is passed over for fucking promotion.

SPEAKER_03 32:38

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 32:40

Alright, this is still this team is still young enough where this team can. What if the Knicks go on some immaculate, you know, dynasty run and it's the next three years is just Nick's Nicks Nicks. Oh, for sure. No, you were on the screen for real. For real. They really did.

SPEAKER_02 33:34

Hi, little song, hi little inside, I little fly, hi little tiny insect, hi, sucker.

SPEAKER_01 33:49

I was somebody who said, Hey, Breston on the team, I don't give a fuck. Huh? I was somebody who said, Hey, Brunson on the team, I don't give a four time. I was somebody who said, Hey, Brunson's if Brunson's not on the team, I don't give a fuck. I was somebody who said, Hey, Brunson's if Brunson's not on the team, I don't want to be like this. If I was somebody who said, Hey, if Brunson's not on the team, I don't give a fuck. I was somebody who said, Hey, if Brunson ain't on the team, I don't give a fuck.
