Are you kiddin' me? Jalen Bruson is Mens Basketball.

SPEAKER_03

First and foremost, glory to God. Glory to God. Nixon 5.

SPEAKER_02

Knicks and 5, baby.

SPEAKER_03

Nick's in five. Nixon 5, baby. Now five is alive. Now I'll get it out of the way since everyone's thinking it's Sidney Sweeney. It's like Taylor Swift, who? Taylor Swift 2.0. Yeah, Sidney Sweeney may have filled out New York Knicks t-shirts even better than Taylor Swift did. Turns out attractive women wearing Knicks gear is a new non-sexual turn-on of mine. I penciled that one in and nestled it right between uh glasses and pigtails.

SPEAKER_02

See, it's not necessarily a sexual turn on, but it sure as shit isn't a sexual turn. It sure as shit is not. It's not necessarily a sexual turn-on, but it also is a sexual turn-on.

SPEAKER_03

Well, no, it's a non-sexual turn-on means that it's a non-sexual thing that still sexually turns you on. Oh, then it's that. Yeah. So it's like I'm glad you threw in your color commentary.

SPEAKER_02

Basically, I said something, and your response was like, no. No, no, no, no. I said no, no, you said something, and I said it's not that it's not that, but it's also that. So it's actually totally different when I did.

SPEAKER_03

The game starts off, and I'm assuming some who watched it were wavering left and wavering right and thinking, we got this, we don't got this, we got this, we don't got this. But that first Brunson three, when he got a whole dribble off, the Spurs were so discombobulated, Brunson's able to not only gather the ball, you know, think some shit out in his head, he's able to actually dribble it for a second, regather, and then shoot it up. Once that went in so clean, I knew we had the game. So that was a 10 minutes. That was the first shot we made. Our first shot we made? Yeah, yeah. Very beginning of the game.

SPEAKER_02

See, I knew we had it made once we got the lead in the fourth quarter. Right. And I was sold. I knew we had a soldier at tip-off.

SPEAKER_03

I was sold when it was Cam Scadaboo and Gustavo Fring and John Totoro and Spikely like taking a group photo together before the game even happened. I wish I could say I was as confident as you. Actually, no, I was I actually had it put together the Knicks were going to win when they sang the national anthem, and I was like, you know what? This is much better than whatever that dum-dum was at the MSG. This girl is way better. And then it cut to like Wemby, and I was like, oh, this guy's French, and I was staring at him for a minute, and he was just like, he was standing there and he was being like, you know, stoic, like you're supposed to be doing, but he also had some air to him of like fuck this anthem. And I was like, you know what? Yeah, you're losing today.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, 100%. I didn't see that, but I can totally tell why you knew they were losing at that point.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, when you see a French man kind of just with melancholy while the national anthem plays, makes me sick. It's cool. I know he's a European player, but it's still the National Basketball Association.

SPEAKER_02

He's not just any European player, he's European trash.

SPEAKER_03

He's French. After that three, OG, I don't care that he got fouled and missed the layup in the beginning of the game again. It reaffirms everything. I'm like, the Knicks are going to win. Did you just see the way OG were ripped on right by Wemanyama, who thought he was going up for a three, and OG goes up, speedy Gonzales right past him? Remember that play? It was like the second play of the game, and it was our second basket. OG on Anobi hesitate, pull up for three, and Victor Wemanyama jumps and he goes flying past him.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I totally know what you're talking about. You said rip past him. I thought you were saying he ripped the ball from him. I misunderstood you. Yeah, yeah, I totally yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. It was a great play.

SPEAKER_03

That was the second sign. That Hezzy on the pull-up three. I would honestly, if I was when we have checked myself out of the game to thaw some shit over there for a second, to regather my thoughts, channel my Tibetan monks.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, get some deep breathing exercises going.

SPEAKER_03

Because when you jump that high, when you bite, I know some people are gonna say some detractors are gonna say that was uh travel by Oji Ananobi. But people who actually know ball are gonna say, no, no, no, no. I'm in your head, Victor Women Yama, you jumped, you got caught, you got got. And we uploaded our video, our reaction to game four, only 15 minutes before the game actually happened, but I guess Brunson must have heard it because he very quickly into the game, right on quick, decided to make that amazing pass where he just kind of threw it around the big man, threw it around Vic, and just dished it perfectly to Josh Hart. And I know the amazingness of that highlight probably won't make it into all the cuts later on of like the best moments of the game since Josh had the audacity to then just shank the three like lamb and let it go right by. But what an amazing pass from Brunson. I'm really glad that so early into the game I was affirmed that wow, in the limited time from when we uploaded to when the game actually happened, Brunson was in the locker and listening to our episode. Like, you know what? I can pass, guys. You're wrong. Check this out.

SPEAKER_02

I want to show you guys a thing or two.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, he's gonna show everybody a thing or two in this game. Actually, you know what? Every pass you that was an amazing pass, but every pass that I was actually on. Everything he did was gold, alright? He had Midas' touch. Exactly, yeah. And I didn't care that we were down 13 two minutes into the second, or down 15 with nine minutes left, or down sixteen with eight minutes left, because it's only seven points by three minutes, and then Brunson starts to get hot, and then he gets hotter than hot, and he starts to kind of steam a little bit. He's like completely and literally on actual fire. They needed a fire extinguisher. He was so on fire. So that's six points at two and a half minutes off that Mikel three. Then it's one eighteen remaining. Hart goes up, he gets fouled, managed to somehow get the fucking roll in on the shot. And Wemby goes right to the bench, cat goes to the bench because of that bullshit calls that Kat gets no matter what game is going on. He's just being hunted by these refs for everything he does is in fact a foul somehow. Oh, for sure. So then we get we get an N1 for number three, one minute left after Mikel hits a nice little midi. 3742, down by five in half, and I'm absolutely okay with it. First half was locked, and I completely agree with Chuck. Charles Barkley was right. Being down five with the way the game was going really felt like we were up ten.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Call it 15, even white on you. You know, unlike last game where I was like, I'm done for the first quarter. You believed? I believed the I said you said before It was the We Believe Knicks. Yeah. You said before you knew from the first Batscre you made.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no, no. I knew from when Victor Wemanyama was like being really weird about the national anthem.

SPEAKER_02

So it took me a little bit longer than no for certain we are winning. Right. But I was along for the whole ride. I didn't lose faith for a second. I just I didn't know no until until the end.

SPEAKER_03

There are those who know and those who don't know, and you, my friend, are a man who now knows.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, exactly. I am now a man who knows.

SPEAKER_03

And if the Chuck good words of faith weren't enough to keep you perked up as the viewer, you then got a nice little glimpse of David DuCovney sitting right behind the basket. That made up for all those tiki-tacky fouls on Kat, the fact that he had four ten seconds in. Yeah, but you say that he was in a black t-shirt. Because that's like a part of the actual uniform of David DuCovny. He only he's like a Simon Cowell type. He only wears black t-shirts.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, well then Adriana.

SPEAKER_03

No, she was wearing an actual Spurs button-up. Adriana Ariana from Landman. It was in a black shirt. No, she was wearing a black button-up Spurs logo. I didn't see the logo. You didn't see the multicolored pink and teal and orange Spurs logo on her chest? I just didn't notice it. You didn't notice a woman's chest?

SPEAKER_02

That's a really good point. No, I know.

SPEAKER_03

You saw a keg in the middle of the road and you didn't say anything about it.

SPEAKER_02

Back of the line. That's a great reference.

SPEAKER_03

Also, Ariana, as hot as she may be. A Spurs jersey? What are you doing? Get this girl a map. I think the negativity of losing game three really made game four feel like we had our back to the wall the entire time.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, for sure. Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_03

But being up 3-1 immediately felt like we are just going to win. I understand that once upon a time, a decade back, someone managed to do it. But it just felt like the odds were really in our favor because there's a real difference between 2-1 or being tied at 2-2. 3-1 just feels very different. And obviously, part of me thinks like, hey, it would have been really cool if we just won that one game in MSG to just have that punctuation be the end of the season where we had the OG put away where everyone's like, oh my god, they're up 3-0. They're gonna choke the fourth game and then they come back to win it there on the home court. However, it's just something that feels actually kind of special about you know, marching into somebody else's house and just raiding their fridge of all the food.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I honestly, you know so watching the last game, that OG tip off, it's hard to think that it can get any sweeter than that. And I'm watching this game, and initially when we won, I was thinking it doesn't it just does it just doesn't feel as good as the last game. But then I thought about it more, and they bring that stage out, and it's like, what does Peter LaFleur say? Uh money earned is sweet, but uh money won is even sweeter. What does he say in that movie? That could be it. He says something along those lines. The point is though, it felt so sweet. As stage comes out, and you hear all of our guys talking about how great this game was, and you know they're in the locker room changing into their clothes, and they go out to their little bullshit press conference, and they're like, Oh, you know, we lost this one. Blah blah blah as we're celebrating in their home, that was so much sweeter than it could have been an MSG. I think. Honestly, the last game was the best it could have felt. This was just a little cherry. A little punctuation at the end. Yeah, the little exclamation point. Exclamation point. Exclamation point, exclamation, exclamation point more time. Exclamation. I can't say that word. Exclamation. Exclamation point. That was the exclamation point.

SPEAKER_03

With that. I mean, I mean, yeah, this game wasn't necessarily at times as exciting and thrilling as game four. I think us all collectively as a fan base all really kind of shot our load and busted on game four.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I've been loathless for like three days now.

SPEAKER_03

I think the difference was I was too happy to drink for this one. It was different. Like we had our drinks, but the last one, it was like a depressive, um, what is the word? Uh a suture a suture? No, uh, um a super?

SPEAKER_02

I think suture was correct.

SPEAKER_03

Suture's like a suture's. It was a super. Is that what it is? But I was as drunk as you after the the I was as drunk as you going into the game four thing. I just didn't slur the same way you did.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I don't know if you were as drunk as I was.

SPEAKER_03

I think I was even drunker. My difference is that I just don't slur. Instead, my eyes were over here spinning in circles and bugging out of my head. But thankfully we didn't have the cameras on though, so no one could actually see how drunk I was. You though were very evidently speaking schloshed.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I was a white college girl. Drunk I was gonna go. You were white girl wasted. White girl wasted, exactly.

SPEAKER_03

We've all been there before.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but tonight drank just as much. It doesn't affect me the same way because it's like.

SPEAKER_03

Even though we won game four, so much of game four was just chugging it back, thinking, like, oh my god, we're gonna lose. I gotta drown my sorrow. Yeah, exactly. No tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, there's never a tomorrow, it's only today.

SPEAKER_03

But we then this game, I kind of because of the heroics in game four, I even thought, yeah, we're down by 15, yeah, we're down by 16, yeah, we're down by 13, yeah, we're down by 10, but we were down by 29. So I know I never really got sad during this game. So I wasn't really able to get into my entire my usual depressive drunken state.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, because we know we can come back from a 29 deck exit. So like tonight I was like, what was the highest 16? Yeah. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

SPEAKER_03

Marshall hit it easy.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly. For cheesy. Don't be hard, be easy.

SPEAKER_03

Um, it's only when you look like the horse's ass being drunk, but that's fine. Wemby, the cocksucker he is, he somehow doesn't get a flagrant for being in the landing spot. He gets to, you know, Zaza Pachulia our Kawhi. That's fine.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but honestly, you know what is better he didn't get it because then all of a sudden we win tonight and he gets pulled out of the game. And we'll be like, all right, well, when was it inside? When doesn't even care.

SPEAKER_03

No, I agree. The fact that we did win the game makes it like, well, I'm glad he didn't get thrown out because we I don't want to hear anybody, I don't want a single Spurs fan to hear this and comment, like, um, actually, guys, you won because we lost our best player. No, he was there. He was doing tons of nothing for as long as he possibly could.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and your best player, I don't want to spoil the beans here, but he actually choked. Yeah, your best player didn't really do his job.

SPEAKER_03

Your second best player didn't really do his job. Your third and your fourth best players did their jobs. I won't say anything about Castle. Castle, I actually explained. Yeah, Castle had a weaker game, but he also just he's still, even when he's having a bad game, it's like, nah, he's having an okay game. Exactly. But Wemby sucks. Yeah, Wemby cocksucker. He doesn't get the flagrant, which is fine retroactively. Now that we did win, it's not a big deal. Even though, again, Brunson can have his back turned to Wemby. Was it Wemby who Brunson got the foul on, or is it Castle or I think it was Castle or maybe Harper? Wherever Brunson had that foul for being in the landing zone, he did it with his back turned. Oh, Wemby.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think it was Castle. You're right, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, whenever Brunson had that landing zone violation, he was staring at the basket turned around, and the person happened to hit his foot. Accidents happen. That's a foul. When Wemby does it, you see Wemby on the replay genuinely look at the ground, notice Brunson and say, oh, hold on. Let me put my foot here so he lands on it. That's dirty as hell, but that's somehow not a flagrant foul. And again, I'm glad it wasn't because I don't want Wemby to be thrown out of the game or be suspended for the next game if they win and anything else, because I don't want these people having any asterisk and excuses. Yeah, that's uh that's a froggy fuck, is what I call it. That's what I'm saying. He looks down there, he puts his foot there, he's dirty, he's French. And then Harper, the next play, finger fucks Mikhail's eye. And just like, but they're like, hey, it's basketball, it's fine. That's one of the natural basketball games. Yeah, eye gouging. Eye gouging happens all the time in this board. Eye gouging, ankle breaking, it's part of the game. Shamit makes it uh six with nine minutes left. Uh Vassella answers, 7180. Then it's 7783. Brunson with 34 at seven minutes, six-point game. Wemby, like you mentioned earlier, what does he do? He misses a shot. And then we actually convert instead of the usual, let's just trade for a bit. When we make, you make, when you miss, we miss. This time they miss, we actually make a shot. Fox then subs in at, I think, 650. And immediately, I guess, I don't know, maybe maybe Wemby was frustrated that Mitch Johnson has such a hard on for De'Aaron Fox that Wemby decided to immediately just get frustrated and angry, and that's why he shoulder checked Josh Hart to the face.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, again, natural basketball movement.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah, not yeah, of course, not a foul.

SPEAKER_02

Because Mitch pushed him. Mitch pushed him so hard his shoulder fell into drop.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, Breen snuck in right before the commercial break. How, oh, ref's already decided that that would be overturned from Mitch Johnson. And I was like, what are you and then it cuts the commercial, so then festering for five minutes, like, no, that's better. He might have been wrong. He must have just thought he heard something. Yeah. And then it's like comes back, nope, it's actually overturned. There was a there was a little incidental shove from Carl Anthony Towns. And Victor Wemanyama, yes, he got shoved. And yes, he did, in fact, shoulder check Josh Hart's jaw as hard as he possibly could, but he got shoved. So it's real, it's really like it's more on Carl Anthony Towns. Yeah, uh, for sure. His fifth foul for Cat, successful challenge, of course. These challenge rules also suck. Be more like the NFL, it's really dumb. I know the Spurs in this case, it it was good because they lost their timeout because they did two challenges or whatever, but that's just stupid. It was dumb when it happened to us the last game.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, what is that?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. I'm not sure how the the the brain trust that runs the NBA arrived at this conclusion that this is how challenges should work. How about how about this? If you get a challenge right, you get to just you get another one. And then if the next one's right, you get another one after that. And if the next one's right, you get another one. You only lose it if you get one wrong. Because it'd be amazing to have some game where there's like 12 correct challenges in a row, and then we start doing records for who had the most successful challenges, and the refs are like losing their mind. Like, this fucking cocksucker is calling out, he's catching everything. That's it. We're trying to, we're trying to, you know, rig this game whatever way we can. This guy's catching everything we're doing.

SPEAKER_02

That's probably the reason why it doesn't work the way, because the refs are so you know shady shady consistent on rigging every game. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

John Totoro, I noticed, didn't sit down once like the entire game. He was just standing in every shot. Love to see it, similar to how you were. I didn't sit down either. Who sits during a Knicks game?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so between my mouse sacrifice and my standing. Yeah, the sacrifice to your knees and joints and the sacrifice you did with that mouse, the Knicks owe a lot to you. I'm not the number one fan.

SPEAKER_03

Uh then it's a 10-0 run from Brunson. He ties it at 447. Beautiful. 83 83. Harper then misses. Somehow it's a foul, a loose ball foul against the Knicks and Ananobi, because apparently he also needed five fouls. Yeah. Like he needs a cock in his ear. Richard Jefferson actually says that one is bullshit. Says, how is that a foul on Ananobi? That was amazing to hear considering he hates the Knicks. Yeah, that surprised me completely. Vasselle, uh, Vassell, you said vassal, and I keep thinking it's vassals. Vassel.

SPEAKER_02

That's a little confusing. Castle and Vassell. It's not that confusing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, did I say that out loud? That's actually not that similar to it. Just because vassals usually are castles. That's not enough of a reason. It's still Vassell, but you keep saying vassals, and I want to say vassal. Vassell trades. He's up 85-83. And then Brunson almost has a four-point play that's massive, but again, no more challenges because there's just no more challenges. So it's up. He hits his three. Um, Nick's lead 86-85, the first lead in actual forever. Then Mitch Johnson, not Mitch Robinson, Mitch Johnson, this is very confusing. Mitch Johnson is screaming to foul Mitchell Robinson, and the Spurs player's like, Mitch, you want us to do Mitch, but you're Mitch. So they don't get what he's saying. Thankfully, Mike Brown overhears it. He has much better hearing than the entire young Spurs roster of like 19-year-olds. Yeah. Um, and he finds the he finds the whistleblower first. He gets the timeout off, quickly gets Mitch out of there. 317 remaining. Brunson immediately somehow fouls after that heads-up play from Mike Brown, gets his first, a quick little turnover. It's a push, barely at all, but fine. He gets a foul. Eye pokes and eye gouges, fine, but this little this little hair swipe, very, very, very bad. Then Josh Hart gets bailed out again. Mikkel saves him. Huge rebound. Kat uh somehow Cat somehow doesn't foul in that big exchange where he's just slapping the shit of everybody. Then there's a minute straight of suffocating defense both ways. Nobody's scoring. OG with the power-up dunk is goaltended. Yeah. By who? Victor Wemanyama. The power-up dunk, the most beautiful, you know, they say like the most beautiful thing you can. I don't know. There's not even an expression, actually. I'll just make it up. The most beautiful thing you can see a woman do is orgasm. The most beautiful thing you can see OG and an Obi do is go up for a power-up dunk.

SPEAKER_02

So I've actually heard that OG's dunk is what causes the female orgasm.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no. The clitters is very real. It's the female orgasm. That's the myth. I am the clit commander. 88-85 as 205 left. It's a 15-2 run for the Knicks, and Kat is then immediately out of the game off yet another ticky-tacky foul because everyone's soft as hell out of here. Well, who was that foul against?

SPEAKER_02

Was it against pushed Vic? Okay, so that's why. Because, you know, anytime anyone, like I said in the last video, if you can blink and the wind from your eyelashes fans out too closely to him, it's a foul. Wasn't uh Kat's hand up in the air, oh, the hand behind his back.

SPEAKER_03

I think that was the one where he slightly pushed off of him, and they're like, well, it's minimal content, but you can see the elbow in the stomach. I think that was the one. Like, well, you can see the elbows in the stomach, so he's kind of pushing. Of course. Of course. Again, Brunson's head thrown into the hardwood, incidental. An elbow pressing up against the stomach, uh, intentional. It doesn't even matter. They lost. Who gives a shit? It's um what's that movie called? Uh it's shockingly evil, wickedly wicked, and outrageously disgusting. What is that movie called?

SPEAKER_02

I think you had it. It was shockingly evil, wickedly wicked, disgustingly gross.

SPEAKER_03

Something, whatever, whatever John Malkovich said to Zach Efron that day is basically what supposedly Kat does out on the field. We don't on the court, we just don't see it somehow. We don't catch it, but the ref seem to catch a lot of things Kat does wrong.

SPEAKER_02

You know, like the camera adds 10 pounds. The camera also hides a lot of the fouls.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it's like in slow motion. We're actually seeing like one, we're we're missing frames.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the shutter speed's not not correct.

SPEAKER_03

Wemby goes to the line. Kat's out of the game, Wemby goes to the line, and we get the curse of the announcer on our side for once saying, Hey, you know, Wemby's three for three right now from the line, and then he misses, so Wemby's three for four. He, you know, he talks to uh his monks, he does the whole Beverly Hills, goes in his head. He's trying to find Haruto, and uh he sits on a rock, talks to his master, he finds his Zen place, he hits the next one, he finishes no. Now he's four for five at the line.

SPEAKER_02

You know, it's interesting at the start of the series, he landed down peacefully on that rock. But you know how like Haruto always goes.

SPEAKER_03

That's always going at the end of the series. He yeah, he's a he honestly, he might be his own worst enemy. Then it's a shot clock violation from Brunson because it was off the glass, no rim, which is just so deflating, but at the same time, it's like we're not gonna lose this game, so it's really not that big of a deal. Who cares? We won. Even though even then we didn't win, but I still I still knew we were going to, so it's like, yeah, there's some mistakes, but just that just really adds character, if anything.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And it also, of course, no doubt it gave the the Spurs much more of like a uh feeling of their going to do it, which we were able to then stomp even harder. Which makes it feel even better. Yeah, the more hopeful they are. That's why everyone, that's why people turn for, you know, most people you know, in a crime of passion, they kill somebody, right? Why do you think so many of those people get uh they get so attached that they can't stop and become serial killers, right? Because the uh crime of passion.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_03

I just said the first kills the crime of passion. I'm saying I'm saying that it obviously is because after you kill the first person, it's fun for if you kill the first person, that's fun, but this you know, then that's just you like enjoying what you like. I can't believe I did that, it's fucking crazy. But then the next like 15 down the line, then it gets to the point where it's like no no no no. You want them to like think they're gonna get out of it. It becomes much more cerebral thing where you're just torturing your prey. It escalates past where the the actual acts the it's it's the cathartic part, but it's not even actually the fun part. The fun part's the beforehand. Yeah, the fun part's before play. Exactly. So I think the Knicks were actually like I think Brunson went all glass on purpose to give them a false sense of hope.

SPEAKER_02

That's the kind of thing Brunson does.

SPEAKER_03

Because he's cerebral, he's mentally tough, he's got mental fortitude, he's got mental fortitude up the wazoo.

SPEAKER_02

He's like triple H, he's the serial assassin.

SPEAKER_03

Immediately, 120 left. Harper, he sinks a turnaround. Absolute heroics. It's 88-88. But Brunson doesn't care about 88-88, because now it's 90 to 88. Clean floater. Hart then chokes again a three, but thankfully he's bailed out again because Harper chooses to do a layup a la Josh Hart style on the fast break where he misses in it. So even though Josh Hart could not hit water if he fell out of a boat, it seemed, he, I guess, uh, you don't like how um, and like Mike, he has got the shoes. Uh-huh. I think Josh Hart, like his one shooting sleeve rubbed against at the last second. Dylan Harper because Dylan Harper did the same thing. Yeah, Harper got Hart's special stuff. Yeah, the Harper Hart blunder. Yeah. Then it's 26 seconds left, 90 to 88 a foul. Josh Hart is at the line. You're thinking 92, 88? No, 91, 88. Then Shamick comes in, Brunson goes out. I see the vision, but Hart shanks it. But but Mitchell Robinson pokes it out, and then OG Anobi, unlike De'Aaron Fox, what does he do? He just stands there at the ball and dribbles. He's like, Alright, I'll just stay. I can hang out for a minute.

SPEAKER_02

Fucking genius.

SPEAKER_03

He doesn't run and throw up a stupid shot because De'Aaron Fox is there and say, Hold on a second, I got this. He's like, Alright, come to me. And you could see his gears. You saw him actually still mentally. It's like when you see someone who seems like they're literally just like unplugged, and you see some weird, strange civilian out and bounding. Is that person fucking alive? And they're just like in a weird, empty state. OG just actually powered down. Yeah. And just time stopped. They charge, they foul him. A lot of fouls in this end thing. It was a little crazy. OG is at the line, courtesy of Mitchell Robinson being the best offensive rebounder in NBA history. Probably the biggest offensive rebound in NBA history from the best offensive rebounder in NBA history. Not to mention, again, the guy plays like 15 minutes. Extrapolate that, right? You see the picture of my kid? Look at this sonogram. Look at his dick. You see how big that is? Okay, he's what, six months old? Extrapolate that. Think about his 18.

SPEAKER_02

That's actually Mitch Robinson, the sonogram.

SPEAKER_03

I believe it. Those offensive rebounds are insane. 21.6. OG is at the line. Sunk it. One for one. Now it's 92.88. We're up by four. 10 points. Three for three at the line. They unfortunately give us the curse right back. They show he's three for three at the line, which of course means he misses the next shot immediately. Curse of the announcer. Timeout, 20 seconds exactly remaining. Mitch, an enormous rebound. 27 to 16 in the fourth quarter. What a run. Wemby then is bailed out by uh Castle because he chokes because Wemby just chokes and Mitch is too good. And Castle's a demon. Fuck his mother. Now that we've beaten the Spurs, if there was a gauntlet where if you beat the team, you got to recruit their best player. I think personally I'm pulling a whole Keller, you know, I don't want Steph Curry, I want Igwid Dala. I don't want Wemby. Give me Stefan Castle. Yeah. Laser beam at the earth. I need a shot. Stephon Castle.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know if you've noticed the trend here, but Wemby, shot on the line, doesn't seem to make those shots. Doesn't do anything.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Doesn't do anything.

SPEAKER_03

See, in the first quarter, he's able to like, yeah, he can drive and look really cool, slamming the ball, jumping one inch in the air, and then you know, pressing his non-existent chest out towards Carl Anthony Towns. Yep, yep. But maybe it's lost in translation. I heard about how he has a book club with um with Mason Plumley, maybe was the guy. Some one of the nerds on the team, and he was saying how there's like a report Do you actually have a book club? He's like, Oh, we do have a book club. Yeah, not even not many people in the team have joined it, but me and Wemby have it. We've sent out a few books to some of the people. I won't say who, but they haven't read it because they know me and Wemby are total losers. But no, we're shades of gray. We're reading stuff. We're actually reading 1984 right now, because I guess we never went to high school, so we should read it now in our 30s. And uh, you know, Wemby reads in French sometimes, sometimes in English. I read in I I only read in English. And uh yeah, no, he's like three, he's actually a great reader though. He's like 300 pages ahead of me.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know the words.

SPEAKER_03

That's what I'm saying. It must be lost in translation from all those French books he's reading. I don't think he knows that this is a game of four quarters.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, in France it's actually the bigger one. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Paris, it's one quarter. It's just one really long quarter. It's one fin pancake.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, no. You you score everything in the first quarter, the fourth quarter that the opponents score. Let's see if they can catch up. It's different in France.

SPEAKER_03

Uh if you make it just first quarters, Spurs sweep the Knicks. Unfortunately, it's not just first quarters, and it's not just second quarters either, because they got us beat there too. Unfortunately for them, there's also third quarters, and much more importantly, there's also fourth quarters, and more specifically, there's also like the last five minutes of fourth quarters like called clutch time. Yeah, those are Brunson minutes. Turns out that's Wemby's Kryptonite. So basically, that's what it is. Bizarro. Everything's the reverse of Superman. Brunson is Superman, clutch time is his son, it heals him. Wemby's bizarro, clutch time is his kryptonite. His kryptonite, uh, I don't know what what's what's Brunson's kryptonite? Browning in pussy, right? Yeah. Being the king of the city, being short and stocky and kind of chubby, and also being the most sexually vivacious, beautiful man of all time.

SPEAKER_02

No, crime's down because of Brunson.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, divorce rates are down, domestic abuse is down. Then Brunson somehow fouled, but he's actually not fouled. McHel's actually fouled. Even though Brunson was like thrown across half court and it was almost a backcourt. That wasn't the foul. But when uh McHel caught the ball and got pushed, that was a hard foul. That was called immediately. But again, when Brunson is being thrown to the ground, they're like, no, that's fine. It's just roughhousing. They're razzing him. They're showing them how much they're showing him how much they respect him. It's just boys being boys. Exactly. And I guess that's because the NBA thought, well, we send Brunson to the line. Sure, he may have missed a couple of free throws, but now that it's actually clutch time, he won't miss anything. So instead we'll foul McHel because there's a chance, right? And Mikel walks to the line, and it's, you know, all you can think is, hey, five first-round picks. Five first round picks. This is what it's for. Five first round picks. So anybody out there can do what they gotta do when they have to do it. And it pops up, says he's you know, says he's got 13 points. He shoots. 0 for 1. Not the best start. Thankfully, he finishes 1 for 2, which I guess you can then justify. Well, it was five picks. I guess three and a half of those picks were worth that one. It's now 93.90. Mitch Johnson calls a timeout. He remembers he has those and he advances the ball. 8.8 seconds left. Then it's 8.6 because Shaman fouls Harper. He's got 25 points. Again, Harper, the only person on this team who's like actually committed to winning this series. Yeah. Wemby talks a big game. He's really more like he likes to he likes to like pick up the girl in the club. And then he brings her back and she's like, This is gonna be so fun. And then he kind of just like hands her pajamas and then like just kind of turns the light off and then just kind of crawls into bed. And then she's like, Well, surely we're gonna smush in a second. And then he's just straight up snoring. It's bedtime. Yeah, he's like, I have to like I promised Kevin Garnett I wouldn't sleep with any SNES right now. So I have early workouts. Even though we know we're going to win, I have early workouts. I can't sleep with you.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. Speaking of that, I thought you guys were winning these next three.

SPEAKER_03

Not only were they winning it, apparently everyone knew it. So when I was thinking, no, wait, you're not, I was in I was confused. I was also confused.

SPEAKER_02

I'm even more confused now that it didn't happen.

SPEAKER_03

Well, it almost did. It could have happened. Harper goes to the line, they give him the same curse. It says he's three for four at the line. He goes up there, he shanks the first. Five time Ron Who. He sinks the second, he pulls the old Mikhail Bridges trick, the old palabah of Mikhail Bridges. OG gets it. The good thing Corna and Wemby were both substituted to be out there at that exact moment to be ready for the glass just for OG to then grab the rebound. 7.7 left, 93 to 90. OG goes to the line. He's three for four. Oakley, Houston, Ewing, they're all watching. The Knicks are making this stadium feel like it's MSG. I thought it was for a second. OG's 0 for 1. Okay. He's 3 for 5 now. Pressure and tension and all that jazz. Uh, weren't the Spurs dealing with that same shit asshole the entire game? Nope, just us. OG goes up to the line. He's one for two. It's 94-90. And what do the Spurs have left in the tank? How are they going to close this four-point gap? They're not going to close the four-point gap, even though it was prophesized by the Tibetan monks. They miss it. It's 94 to 90, and Mike Breen says it best. This is not a dream. After 53 years, the New York Knicks are the champions of the NBA Finals.

SPEAKER_02

It honestly didn't feel real for a while. The hair on my neck was up for probably a good 35, 45, 50 minutes after the game. It's just like I couldn't process anything. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen a sports moment that felt this good. Oh, yeah. Full body feeling.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. Yeah, euphoric. Because, you know, I've seen the Giants win and it's cool, but again, something about playing these guys again and again and again and again in this series, you're thinking just like I know these guys. I've seen these guys.

SPEAKER_02

Well, it's been the grind of the last few years. It's the fact that we're playing so many games where even though we're not there in the court, we're blood sweating tears.

SPEAKER_04

I know these guys.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. It's like, you know, I've touched your children and I think they've touched me.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, 100%. I've been touched by your kids, and I'm pretty sure I've touched them.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. The game ends. Mike Breen starts talking. A few seconds go by, and I finally just breathed, and I swear my knees went weak, and I felt like I was just about to collapse. I'm like, I will die happy right now. I would I I'd be this is a fine way to go. Wemby ricked off a three to do something, and he just runs off the course straight up. I'm outie. Yeah, like a little bitch. I am such a class act myself. I would have actually gone ahead and shaken every member of the Knicks team, the coaching staff, the front office, ownership. I would have shuck everyone's hands and not even nine four sportsmanship. Realistically, that would have annoyed them. Yeah. They would have said, can you just let us have our moment? Like, no, no, no, hold on, sir. Sir, what an amazing accomplishment. Hey, Tyler Cullock, young gun, you know what? I remember that game on Christmas Day, alright? You'll get your shot, kid. That's just what a man would have done. Yeah, instead of being a little bitch Wemby and Yaman just has to get out of there as fast as he can in his home court. I don't understand if it was at MSG and it's like, I gotta get out of here before the fans attack me.

SPEAKER_02

This is your home base. It was interesting though, to that point. So let's start from this game. So, what was the last shot of this game? Uh miss from Wemby. Wemby bricking a three. They lose the game. The last game they lost, they lose in the last game.

SPEAKER_03

Uh Wemby missing.

SPEAKER_02

Missing both his free throws. Yes. And then the last game before.

SPEAKER_03

Wemby throwing off a guy's back, Wemby fouling Brunson, Wemby missing a shot, Wemby missing a shot, Wemby missing a shot. And today he misses a shot. The Wemby killer.

SPEAKER_02

The Wemby killer.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Reggie Miller, the Nick killer. Mm-mm. Mitchell Robinson.

SPEAKER_02

The alien domination. I guess. Mitch Robinson, the alien domination.

SPEAKER_03

Mitchell Robinson, the French Emasculation. I actually like that a lot better. It's one of the most dominant championship runs ever. Eight straight years, eight different champions. Mikel starts crying. Brunson and his dad are hugging. His dad, you know, his dad lost on this exact stage to this very franchise, and his son won. The father failed so the son could succeed. Revenge for his father. Right? You killed my father. My name is Adogo Montoya. You killed my father, and I'm prepared to die. Exactly. 45 points for Brunson, 49 points for the team. Two points shy of being like, I did I did half of what this was. You wanna know why that happened? So we got some dogs on this team.

SPEAKER_04

We got some dogs on this team. Who let the dogs out?

SPEAKER_03

Mine was way better hoop than yours was. Okay. Hey, listen, man. Your ability to open is heroic, it's your ability to close any work. Jalen Brunson, the king of New York. His life, the sky is just now the limit. Thinking, how can I go up from here? He literally can get away with murder in New York. I think no one's he can get away with anything. He could go bane on the city. We're riding and dying by this man.

SPEAKER_02

I think after he finishes a couple more seasons, she become mayor. It's honestly really great. We had Mr. New York, Derek Jeter. We had Mr. New York, Elija Manning, and then we got Mr. New York, Jalen. Three big teams now all have a Mr. New York from them. And Henrik Lundquest, Rangers. Yeah, okay. I don't care about hockey, but yeah, I guess you're right.

SPEAKER_03

Until the next finals, I don't want to hear any talk about Boston or Miami or Philly or Detroit or most of all Cleveland. Once next year rolls around, it's just Knicks run the East until improving otherwise. I'm so tired of hearing about how no no guys, Detroit's the team to beat. That Raptors team is scrappy. Giannis gets healthy, the Bucs could be unstoppable.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and if a frog had wings wouldn't bump its ass when it hops.

SPEAKER_03

You know, Spurs for the Cups, Spurs for the finals. So the Spurs are this great mythological team, and we beat them in the two biggest things you could ever beat somebody in, the finals and the midseason tournament. Doesn't that make us mythological? David versus Goliath. Alright, I know a lot of kids named David. Never met a guy named Goliath. That's a really good point. Actually, yeah. Women Yami's Goliath. What's gonna happen do you think in 20 years? A lot more guys in the league named Victor? Or a lot of guys named Jalen. You think there's more kids being named tomorrow in the hospital in San Antonio Victor, or more babies born tomorrow in New York City being named Jalen?

SPEAKER_02

There's a really solid chance this entire summer season, all the new biggest.

SPEAKER_03

Every baby's named Jalen. Guys who are like, yo, my name is Martin Gustavo Esteves the 17th. My son's now named Jalen. My son's first name is Jalen, his last name is Brunson. And then now, NCAA champion, NBA champion, you ever see a grown man hold back tears? Yeah. It's kind of a beautiful thing. You ever see a grown man hold back tears and succeed? That's the beautiful thing, alright? Too many times a man tries to be stoic, he tries to hold back those tears, and he blubbers like a little bitch anyway. Jalen Brunson on the biggest stage in the biggest moment, what does he do? Stands tall. As short and as fat as he is, he stands tall. What a beautiful son of a Brunson. That's great, son of a Brunson. Then Brunson Jalen and Brunson Rick, it is special. Daddy Brunson lost in 99. He's been there. He's been there before. Was he like the person anyone was even talking about being on the team then? No. You know, when everyone lost in 99, was anyone cursing Rick Brunson? No. If we lost this playoffs, would we have all been a little upset with Jalen Brunson? Probably. It's a little different. He gets it done.

SPEAKER_02

As you said, uh The Father failed, so the son could succeed. Honestly, tonight's kind of being on Cloud 9, but like it doesn't even do enough to describe how good this feels. No, it's like Cloud 10. Yeah, unfortunately. It's like uh Jalen Brunson's 11.

SPEAKER_03

That's that's see that's good. Thank you. It's I was gonna say it's like uh the made up later OT levels. We've now discovered there actually is a new uh manifesto written. There actually are new OT levels. It's the New York Knicks winning the championship. That's actually Elation. Yeah, exactly. That is um Utopia. Shanghai State of Mind. Shangri-Law. Brunson again heard our chatter, he heard the video right before the game because he said, Yo, my boys are saying, Will Cappy Finals MVP, will OG be? Will Jose Alvarado be? And Jalen said, hold my fucking beer, went out there, went ahead and did what seemed like he honestly seemed like a big fish in a small pond. And at the start of these playoffs, I changed my lock screen. My wallpaper was the captain number 11, and like Crash Davis says you don't ever fuck with the streak. I don't know if I'll ever change it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you can't. You're actually stuck now.

SPEAKER_03

I still I still have refused to swipe off the score notification that says final score 94, 90.

SPEAKER_02

How good did it feel to not only know this moment happened, but to have witnessed it, to watch this series, to watch the last series where we swept, to watch the series before that where we swept, to watch the last series where we didn't sweep, but we were fucking damn close.

SPEAKER_03

And we dominated to finish strong.

SPEAKER_02

We've been breaking how many fucking records? How good is it gonna feel now when we have kids of our own and we get to watch them do it all over again with our dad like we did tonight? Unlike our two bozo fucking friends, Zachariah and Patrick, who don't give a god flying damn about this sport. Or so too stupid to realize how important this shit is. You know, you know what?

SPEAKER_03

Well, I said that to them. I said, I hope you guys have sons. Okay, I hope you have two healthy, beautiful sons who love basketball. And they can come up to you one day and say, Dad, what was the 2026 NBA finals like? And these two Jaguls are gonna say, I have no, I have no idea. I didn't watch any of it.

SPEAKER_07

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

And they're gonna say, You didn't watch it? Nope. Did you know did you know it was on? Oh, I knew it was on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uncle Alex said I should watch it. I was like, I'm not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_02

I'm a fucking idiot.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna go I'm not gonna go, I'm gonna go run one out and go to sleep. You know what? I haven't rubbed one out since this fucking series started. Yeah, okay. I will I said I would come when the Larry O'Brien trophy comes back home to where it belongs, okay? I don't I haven't ejaculated in 53 years.

SPEAKER_02

That's how it works. That's called commitment to your team.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, never fuck with a streak. Yeah, you don't come until your team comes. It was always the Knicks. It was a team of destiny. We all knew it was gonna happen. James Dolan even said it before the season started. He kept his mouth shut since Rose has got here, and he said, eh, it's it, we're winning the championship this year. He foresaw it. You know what it felt like? A team of destiny. Yeah. Yeah, a team of destiny.

SPEAKER_02

But not even that though. It felt like the ending of replacements when the uh Canor Reeves walks up front. I think the deaf guy's next to him, but someone else is to his left, and the camera's at the low level trying to look up to them, and there's the narration. I think Gene Hackman's talking about how he even never got better than this. This was the greatest moment in history. I don't care. I I obviously I care. I would love the first to go through the three-peat now. Let's just have the hypothetically say this is the end. This is the greatest end I could ever find out.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, what a final show. You're saying it. What a curtain call.

SPEAKER_02

What a curtain call. The world can end tomorrow. It ended on a goddamn good note.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Nothing else even matters right now. I think New York is New York's a new city. It's not old New York anymore now. It's new New York. Yeah, it's not uh old school of Vince Vong. This is New School Vong. This is a new school of Vince Vong, and he was looking good. Yeah, I think he's like a personal trainer or something. Fucking assholes.

SPEAKER_01

We fucking had him!

SPEAKER_03

You're such a bad act, the drama. And get this. I smoked 11 bowls during the game, four-hour captain.

SPEAKER_02

That's that's a commitment to the craft.

SPEAKER_03

And that first bowl right after the end of the 2026 NBA season was sweeter than anything else under the sun. Some may even call it that first Bolson. That first Jalen Bolson. That first Jalen Bolson. Ernie, get to it. Yes, yes, the Spurs were great, but now it's about these guys. It's always been about these guys. James Dolan, the $7 billion man, he holds it first. He can touch it. He said it best. I think we should get there and I think we should win. Yeah, we should, we did. We really did. New York, New York. I'm sorry it took so long, but here we are, and hopefully it won't take that long again. Yeah. I never even I didn't even think I could formulate a sentence, let alone sound so cool. I know. Honestly. That got me pumped up.

SPEAKER_02

It got me pumped up, and I didn't tear up. I like I said my hairman just to I felt numb. Once he said that, then all of a sudden the emotions started.

SPEAKER_03

I was like, yeah, you know what? Yeah, it was a long wait. It won't be that long of a wait again.

SPEAKER_04

We did it! We did it!

SPEAKER_03

Dolan has never looked so sexy in his little like salmon suit, his little orange suit. Yeah, it was pretty sweet. Leon Rose spoke the best GM, you know, how much satisfaction that he pieced it all together, that he made this team. You know, it really words aren't really you can you can put it into the guys, but really have done the care the fight, the grit. They never never never say it's incredi incredible the run they've been on. Wasn't as articulate as James Dolan was, shockingly.

SPEAKER_02

Doesn't matter, he's a WAP genius.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, the guy's the guy's a WAP genius. I don't know. Uh Kat said how he instilled the family atmosphere just by caring, just by caring by each other, looking out for each other. Uh they have each other's backs about sacrifice for the better good. And then the captain, the captain.

SPEAKER_01

Hey yeah, cap, hey yeah, cap.

SPEAKER_03

Who thinks the first Knicks to score over 40 points in the NBA Finals? I would have guessed Rick Brunson, but probably not. Turns out it's Jalen Brunson. MJ, he ties it. Most points scored in a finals closeout game. Jalen Brunson is him. And he's right. The game starts 30 minutes later for them sometimes. You know, they're supposed to show up at 8 30, they show up at 9 o'clock. They're fashioning me late and they come out strong. The Bill Russell Finals MVP trophy, who will it go to? The 2026 Finals MVP is the captain, Jalen Brunson. He may be number 11 on the court, but he's number one in your hearts. Exactly, because today Jalen Brunson is the best player in the world. A 6'2 guy who is really six foot, who's kind of chubby, is the peak male shape, the peak male physical standard, the peak male, mentally, physically, sexually.

SPEAKER_02

He's really a modern Adonis. He is an Adondis. Oh, Adondis. I fucked up. He's really a modern Adondis.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna leave any of you saying Adonis.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, fine, that's fair.

SPEAKER_03

And then I'll just then I'll leave this part into me saying, no, no, no, no. People are gonna know that Rob Ayers has can't pronounce Adondis. I've heard it both ways. Oh, Rick and Jalen Brunson talk, which is kind of crazy that the assistant head coach technically spoke before the actual head coach. Yeah. But I suppose this whole familial relationship sets the precedent. Uh LeBron and Bronny, maybe Brian doesn't care so much. He's probably like, he's probably just like hanging out. But LeBron's probably punching the air right now that this bigger father-son moment's happening. Yeah. He's like, shit, I gotta be a coach now, and Bronny, you're gonna win a championship. You're gonna go beat this, you're you're gonna go beat the Mavericks because they beat me. But Dad. He's like, no, you're gonna do it! Okay? And you're gonna be there too, Bryce, and we're gonna both want to be there. And again, Brunson, who usually is a little soft on the mic, has another phenomenal answer. This is why I came to New York. Dude, that gave me chills when you came too. Give me chills too.

SPEAKER_01

This is why I wanna fuck something. I I feel fantastic. I feel fantastic.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, honestly, I don't know if I've ever been more proud of a team of a player to have witnessed anything in my life. That felt so good. And we're making the joke, the father fails, the son could succeed. This is why I came to New York. It's like he's a prophecy.

SPEAKER_03

It's almost like it's prophetic. One would say. Can Mike Brown talk? Ernie read my mind, said the exact same thing. Like, can we get Mike Brown out here? And then Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Mike? Mike?

SPEAKER_01

Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike.

SPEAKER_03

Brown is here. He's been here before. Clearly, LeBron was the problem back in Cleveland because I just saw Mike Brown win a championship. He went to one with LeBron lost. Went to one without LeBron won. Yeah. I've seen LeBron lose championships without without Mike Brown.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03

I've never seen Mike Brown lose a championship without LeBron. I guess we uh did the Who Let the Dogs part earlier, so we're gonna have to do it again. Yeah, shit, you're right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

You want to know why we won? Who let the dogs out? Who? We got some dogs on this team. We got some dogs on this team, baby. Oof, oof. New York is so full of dogs, and we came to get it. The Spurs with a kibble, and we're the dogs.

SPEAKER_03

Say la V. V. Oof. That was a joke.

SPEAKER_02

You know what's funny? Last video, I said the Spurs can clink clink with their Spurs in their boots and go fuck themselves back home. Right. We did the fucking.

SPEAKER_03

Dice does the fucking Timothy Chalamet loved it.

SPEAKER_02

He loved Mike Who with the dogs out. Yeah, he was stunned. It was kind of funny, actually. He's a dork. I don't know if I like him, but it was still pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03

You know, 359 head coaches have been in the NBA. Only 38 of them know what it's like to win. Mike Brown's number 39. Tell me how it feels. It's surreal. You know, I can't believe it happened. Thank you, Mr. Dolan, Leon Rose, the entire staff, all the players, just as importantly, all the fans in New York, because you know, you guys are freaking great. We made this thing surreal. We're unbelievable. Honestly, it it we we did make it great.

SPEAKER_02

Because even though I don't know all those people that are out there tonight, even though I was like, I feel them coursing through me. Exactly. I feel like they're all my family right now.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, our astral projections are all tethered together right now, and we're all in unison. Metaphysically, we're stick as thieves. Not only are we all in unison, we are we are the Knicks. We are the Knicks. Woof, woof, woof. OG time, you know, he wants a real ring and he's got one. He's got the real Turbo Man at home officially. No more Kawhi Liner. Here's a little gift for you, OG. Enjoy it. I'm out of here. That's very special. It's what we work for. This is our dream, our goal, and we and we did it. That's what we work for. Yeah, I work for it. Straight to the point. Time for Josh and Mikhail together because they didn't do as much individually, and I absolutely agree. Ernie gets it. He can he can MC a show. He's like, you know what? Yeah, uh you guys can both come together. We only got so much time here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but you know what? Josh said it best. First and foremost, glory together. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03

The Nova Knicks team up minus Ryan Arcanato and Donnie DiVincenzo. But Hart's up there with Little Hart, rocking the number three jersey. Actually, it looks even cooler than Josh Hart, doesn't it? Looked a lot cooler than Sneeko did wearing it too. Didn't like that picture. I saw going around.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that was that didn't happen. That wasn't that wasn't cool.

SPEAKER_03

Forget them picks. That's what I also said for the free throw. Here we are. Michael gets asked to put it into words. It's great. These are his two brothers since Villanova. I'm choked up. I'm proud of everyone. I'm just as grateful as he is. And you know what? You and I are brothers, but now they are also our brothers. Exactly. Because as they pointed out, us the fans deserve even more credit than the team itself does. Yeah, because these guys have been in the team for what? Four years, five years? Yeah, we've been on this train way longer. Exactly. It's like in a blades of glory when he's like, Jimmy, I used to be the lone wolf. Now you're part of the pack too.

SPEAKER_02

Lone Wolf doesn't ride alone anymore. See, that's that's you tattooed next to me. You were drunk when you got this, weren't you? I was absolutely hammered.

SPEAKER_03

And uh lastly, the big purr. Big purr. Minnesota who? Divine inspiration. Tell me about it, Carl. Tell me about it. He says you worked so hard for your whole life at this moment throughout his entire career. He's fallen down, he's got him back up. When they said stay down, and he trusted God, his faith, he kept his feet down, one foot in front of the other, and it is written. This was written for New York. The fans at home needed it to be done. Thank you very much, Mama Cat. I gotta say it. Thank you very much, Mama Cat.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_03

The 2026 NBA champion. Mike Breen, the lifelong Knicks fan, you feel for the fans who had a lot of rough years. They're seeing it tonight. We're getting our licks back.

SPEAKER_02

And honestly, tonight made all of the heartache worth every moment. And Kat was right. It is written. I'm pretty sure it's in the book of Isaiah. It says the Knicks will win in 2026.

SPEAKER_03

A Dominican man named Carl Anthony Towns will be the final piece of the puzzle. RJ's talking about the first losers, uh, aka the Spurs. Uh I'm telling you, Vic's legacy will be tarnished by this forever, because I will never stop telling the story to everyone I meet. Like I'll tell my grandkids with my last breath, the not the love I have for them, but the love I have for Jalen Brunson. Essentially, the Spurs will always remember the day they played the Titans. Yep. They'll always remember. It's always been a Jalen Brunson is good, but but nothing. He set his name in the stone in the annals of history. He stands taller than that seven foot six French guy currently, today. Who even is that guy? I forgot his name already. And he gave up a million, and that's what a championship is worth. The roads may have been paved. I didn't even have a car.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the rolls might have been paved for me, but I don't even have a fucking car. I wasn't offered a hundred million dollars, but I too would have given it up in a heartbeat for this.

SPEAKER_03

You know what the difference between hitting 250 and 300 is? What? It's 25 hits. Alright, 25 hits and 500 at bats is 50 points. There's six months in the season. That's about 25 weeks. Okay, that means that means if you get just one extra flare a week, just one, you get a ground ball with eyes, you get a dying quail. Just one more dying quail a week, and you're in Yankee Stadium. Jalen Brunson, the captain, oh captain, my captain. Oh captain, my captain. Give him his statue.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, let's replace the statue of Liberty with a statue of Brunson.

SPEAKER_03

I'd be fine with that too. I mean outside I just meant outside the stadium. But I would also accept that as well. Let all of them. And also, yeah, fuck the French. Fuck the Statue of Liberty. Put Brunson up there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Replace the torch with a basketball. Yeah, that's not what happened already.

SPEAKER_03

What what was Rudy Giuliani and Bloomberg and Cuomo and Mom Dami doing if not this? Why are we electing you people?

SPEAKER_02

Exactly. Do what we voted you in for.

SPEAKER_03

Give him his statue. I don't care about anything else now except for that. If he doesn't have him committed an actual time.

SPEAKER_02

I will start an actual riot.

SPEAKER_03

I just feel lighter than air. I feel like a weight has truly been lifted off of my shoulders. I'm 26 years old and I mean I don't really think I have that much trauma, but whatever trauma I may have had in my life, that's just like whatever subconscious shit on some level I'm secretly harboring, I feel like I've just expelled all of it. It's completely it's gone from me. I've you hold on to your opinion, it's worth something. It's not worth a dam, you know? It ain't worth shit, alright? I think my trauma clock just went down like seven years, so now like I might be 26, but as far as the pain and suffering, I'm only like I I have like the bright bushy tail look of a 19 year old. Yeah, you're not that old school out. Sure, this new stuff. Yeah, I'm like I'm not even I'm not even uh what generation am I? No idea. Something I was like I'm Gen Alpha now. I'm no longer Gen Z, I'm Gen Alpha now.

SPEAKER_02

I'm a millennial.

SPEAKER_03

And uh the amount of time the amount of time I'm going to now spend from now on, from this day forward, from this day, from this breath to my last, just nonchalantly pulling up these finals highlights, just laying in bed, suddenly just like I'm just watching the NBA Finals highlights and seeing what the Knicks were doing. I'm going to be seeing this team in my dreams, and I'll be seeing the Spurs in my nightmares when I had like some weird scenario where those plums didn't chuck away the game and they actually won. Uh-huh. I'll wake up in cold sweats thinking about what could have happened, but then I'll have a lot of like, you know, solid morning wood thinking about how nice it was that the Knicks won. So James Dolan, Leon Rose, Mike Brown, uh Josh Hart, Mikhail Bridges, Carl Anthony Towns, OG Ananobi, Jalen Brunson, thank you all. Yeah, from the bottom of our hearts. You know, they said it was just the Hawks, it's just the 76ers, it's just Cleveland, guys. It's not just San Antonio, no, it's just New York. It's just the Knicks, and we did do it. We did it.

SPEAKER_04

We did it. We did it!

SPEAKER_03

And 16-3 ain't bad. Like I said, it adds character to those few bumps and bruises. All right, the Franks and A, the chairman of the board, send us out.

SPEAKER_02

And just like we celebrate everything here with Lock Pines, we sing, congratulations to you, congratulations to all.

SPEAKER_04

Boom, there's a flavor.

SPEAKER_03

Gosh, it's just the highs of seeing the Knicks winning the finals and the crash after seeing it. It's cathartic, you know. You ever just take a dump that made you feel like you slept for twelve hours?

SPEAKER_06

Hi, little insect, hi, little fly, my little tiny insect, hi, sucker.

SPEAKER_03

And I think the secret recipe actually was did you notice how every game the Knicks won, we were switching back and forth between watching the Knicks on ABC and watching Mad Men on AMC.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't think about it.

SPEAKER_03

I think thank you. That's funny. That's good. Not great, Bob. Basically, I was saying thank you, Pete Campbell.

SPEAKER_05

When somebody asks you why you love sports so much, this right here is fucking why, man. This is better than basketball, man! This is for every fucking minute, second, you put in your life! This right here is why you do it! Look at this shit and to me! Look at Tobey! You love sports, man! And what to me, we got the whole city coming together!

SPEAKER_00

This is what it's about I'ma see y'all new outside looking in, like, we was like, damn, it's total chaos in what right now, like for sure. It's crazy because after all that bro, they asked me a media about what the what they really did
