He is 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.760 synonymous with New York Knicks Basketball Hall of Famer broadcasting 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.480 Hall of Famer as well, and he was there the 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.160 longtime voice of the Knicks nineteen seventy nineteen seventy three, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:47.520 and we welcome back Marv Albert. How do you feel today, Marvy? 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.080 Stand crazy to talk to you if I feel good? 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:56.040 And it's filish to know that my former broadcast partner 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:02.120 Reggie Miller is on deck waiting after me. We had 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.000 so many laughs and such good times during the games, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.440 mostly for the I would say, most of the way 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.040 for TNT. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.640 What do you remember about nineteen seventy nineteen seventy three 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.680 with these Knicks teams. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.280 Well, I find that those I know people are saying 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.800 this is the greatest Nick team of all time, but 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.160 the game is so much faster, and of course there's 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.600 now the three point play. But I thought that team 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.880 would have to be considered number one as great as 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:41.280 the current Knicks are. But you had Bill Bradley, Walt Frasier, 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:47.760 Earl Monroe. In seventy three, you had just an incredible 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:54.960 group of players, Dave de Bushard and skipping somebody. Dick 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:59.680 Barnett was the other guard. But I thought that what 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.799 they did to get the Busher was the knicks best 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:11.040 acquisition since Jalen Brunson. The Busher was acquired for Walt 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.120 Bellamy and Howard Colemars, which was an incredible trade for 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.440 the Necks. Had just turned everything around, and they got 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:23.560 Roman Roe who was available for seventy three that also 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.440 was a huge trade, and eventually Jerry Lucas. But those 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.720 teams were spectacular the way they moved the ball around. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.120 He had some of the greatest players of all time. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.000 And I think if they played today, you know, with 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.560 the same training programs and the same type of situation, 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:49.200 they would be outstanding. They'd be contenders also every every year, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.960 but not to take anything away from this year's team, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.560 it was just unbelievable what they did because they were 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.280 actually not the same team that we saw in the 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.800 regular seas. Even though they won fifty three games, they 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.240 were behind Detroit and Boston and you just didn't know 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.320 what you were going to get and it all came 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:13.720 together in the playoffs. So, first of all, Mike Brown 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:19.800 made so many excellent moves, particularly early in the series 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.680 against the Spurs, using Carl Anthony Towns as more of 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.400 a facilitator and was a huge part of it in 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.000 terms of setting things up and being like a point center. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.000 I think Mike did a great job with. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.159 The Yeah, I go back to the seventy and seventy 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.720 three teams and I know we were kind of held 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.320 in the moment here creatures of the moment with Jalen 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.679 Brunson's greatest nick of all time. And I always say, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.120 win another title, then we can have the conversation because 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.279 I would still put Willis Reid and Walt Frasier up there. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.440 Your thoughts totally agree, Yes, no question. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.880 Could eventually. I mean Brunson has been a terrific player, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:08.400 clutch player when you consider his height sixty two maybe six', 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:13.080 one how well he is has, done and there's such 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.239 an unselfish. Team much of that due to the fact 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:22.200 of the play of people Like bronson And. Heart it 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:26.120 was The villanova, group you, know that really brought them 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.960 into the kind of start and that we saw this. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.320 Season but, YEAH i would, agree you'd have to Have 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.719 clyde and you'd have to Have willis in that. GROUP 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.360 i would put at this point it could change in 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.560 a couple of, years but at this, point, Yeah i'd 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.320 Have brunson his number, three which isn't bad consider the 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.000 players have been on that. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.719 Roster why did it take fifty three? Years? 0:05:53.720 --> 0:06:00.240 Mark there were some bad decisions along the. WAY i 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:06.760 think that they finally got the right group. TOGETHER i 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.880 thought that the combination Of Leon, rose the team, president 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.720 who was once a super, agent but he made a 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:23.480 series of spectacular moves that, WERE i mean. Incredible he 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:28.640 got mccal bridges for. Five people were questioning it at 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.880 the time because it was five number One. Drafthics he 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:37.840 Acquired Jalen, bronson Og, Anamobi, Karl Anthony, Towns Josh. Hart 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.239 that's a pretty impressive. Reson, uh and that just changed. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.839 Everything and they're so. Unselfish they also happened to be 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.560 a terrific group of, guys you, know who all get. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:55.120 Along and he added to the team though he made 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.599 them into the team that we saw in the, playoffs 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.799 because they weren't this team at parts of the. Season 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.240 but the regular season is so, different as you, know 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.400 than the, playoffs and we saw a nick team that 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.040 is actually nine ten. Deep even the guy Like Josh 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.520 alvarado who he got from B, las played a major, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.240 role you, know playing the backcourt that was probably the 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.920 smallest backcourt in THE, nba but coming in in spots 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.240 and playing so well in of course of the, playoffs 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.280 and they go on and win thirteen straight, games which 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.960 is unheard. Of you, know through the playoff, runt. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.840 Do you find yourself watching Maybe game four and, saying, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.240 BOY i WISH i was calling that. 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:44.000 Game, Yeah i've gotten away from, THAT i really.

Call but you, Know Mike 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:59.720 breen did such a great, JOB i, thought and it's 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.640 once it's, over it's really.

Year there's, one, two, three, four, five, six, 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.159 seven eight nine players in front Of Jalen brunson and 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.760 as far as favorites to win THE Nba championship next. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.680 Year Spurs, Thunder celtics then The, knicks followed by The. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.280 Lakers he's The hall Of Famer Reggie, MILLER nba ON 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.639 nbc lead. Analyst The New York knicks won THE Nba 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.520 championship because What Jalen. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:52.320 Brunson, look you AND i had this conversation just last 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:57.320 week when you, said when your star player is, struggling 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:02.400 AND i, said just keep. Shooting fast forward To game. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.640 Five no one else could make a bucket on that. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:10.600 Team there was one guy who kept, Shooting Jalen, brunson 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.560 and he gave the rest of those guys hope in 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.480 life to win that game on the. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.000 ROAD i looked at The spurs rege and it sounds 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.439 strange to say that the younger team was more. TIRED 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.720 i Thought wemby looked gassed at the end of most 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:32.480 of these. Games anything else stand out and The, spurs you, 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.640 know As wemby, said, look we dominated for most of these, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.879 games which is, true they just didn't dominate when they needed. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:44.480 To but The spurs lost because, of aside From Jalen, brunson, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:46.800 youth youth and. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.639 Inexperience AND i think we were all waiting for this 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.159 youth and inexperience to show, up and it just so. 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.879 Happened it showed up on the biggest stage in THE Nba. 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:02.199 Finals oh, LOOK i applaud what The spurs did for 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.320 them to go into the defending champs house In game 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.160 seven and win that ballgame and get a chance to move. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.520 On maybe that had a little bit to do of, 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:17.080 fatigue BUT i stated on, AIR i think it was 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.280 In game five or, six when The knicks were just 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.800 waiting on who was gonna win that, SERIES i, said 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.360 it doesn't matter who wins here in The Western, conference 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.360 The knicks were gonna. Win just you could just see 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:36.720 how cohesive The knicks had been. Playing AND i think 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:42.440 for The, spurs as great of talent As Wimby, Is Stefan, 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:48.680 Castle Dylan, harper all those guys are great and experienced. 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:52.199 Manners you know WHAT i would have, liked, again we 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:56.800 are Playing monday morning quarterback here for The. Spurs when 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.640 The clippers Let Chris paul, Go Chris paul had played 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.720 a season with The San Antonio. SPURS i wish that 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.720 they would have picked Up Chris paul just as an 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:14.040 insurance vet on that bench for moments like the, finals 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.920 because there's certain things that went down in the. Finals 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:18.959 If Chris paul had been at the end of that. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:25.240 Bench and, LOOK i Love Bismack, BIAMBO i Love Kelly, 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:30.440 olenk Great vets to have on your. Team but if 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.760 you would have Had Chris paul at the end of 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.640 that bench as a point, GUARD i think that would 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:40.000 have Helped Dearon, fox that would Help Stefan. Castle to, 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.960 Me Dylan harper was the, best most Consistent spurs player 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.440 in that, series in those five games when we got 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.399 all the. Attention but to, Me Dylan harper was the 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.280 most consistent. PLAYER i just Think Chris paul would have. Helped, 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:58.080 again this Is monday, morning, Quarterback i'm. Talking this is 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.960 Why vets, matter youth got the best of The. 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:06.480 Spurs explain to us what it you know THEY i 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.800 guess the mindset of being a, closer Because brunson is a. 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:14.240 Closer sga. Is there's certain guys who are made for those. 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.000 Moments but what are they made up of that for some, 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.400 reason the moment doesn't get too. 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:26.520 Big you're not afraid of. Failure you're not afraid to 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.000 take the heat when it comes your way if things 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.720 don't go your, way and if you look at all the, 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:36.280 greats from The kobe's to The mics to The Brunches, 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.800 SGA's they have one thing in. Common they want the 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.080 ball in their hands and they're not afraid if the 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:46.159 shot does not go in that oh my, goodness what 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.920 are people going to say or write about? Me they 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.840 move on to the next. Play AND i knew every 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.879 time it was a close, game The knicks were going 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.159 to win because they had the best player on the. 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:03.080 Floor he can manipulate. Matchups he plays off two, feet 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.600 so his footwork is. Impeccable he was going to be 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.119 able to get any shot he. Want, now if he 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.359 made that, shot that's on. Here there was nothing you 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.280 were going to do for him not to get a 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:19.000 clean look or a good. Rep and that's what the 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.600 great ones. Do they manipulate the. Game And brunson is 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:25.040 as good as anyone doing. 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.120 That but everybody missed out on. 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:27.320 This. 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:30.480 Everybody it was a second round draft. 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.399 Pick even as head Coach Jay wright joined us in 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.399 the first, hour he, SAID i didn't think he was 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.200 a number one. Guy maybe a number, two maybe a 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.160 number three on a championship. Team The knicks Wanted Donovan. 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:47.880 Mitchell they Got Jalen brunson is a consolation, prize but 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.240 has it been right in front of? Us we didn't 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.320 even In, dallas you, know When luca went out early 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.040 in the. Playoffs during that run to the, Final Jalen 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.440 brunson gave us a glimpse of, this AND i think we, thought, oh, 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.080 well that's. Cute now all of a, sudden you, know 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.439 it's not a cute. Story it's a real. Story but 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.000 has he been hiding in playing? Sight, yeah that's exactly. 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.640 It he's been a championship a championship player at every, 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.840 level high, SCHOOL gip one two At, villanova and now 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:23.520 he's won one in THE. Nba and you, know people 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:28.159 wanted to always disrespect his, size but people need to 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:32.760 understand being able to play in. ANGLES i, mean there 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.679 was a couple opportunities in this final series when he 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.360 got switched, off When windy got switched off onto, him 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.360 a couple, huge big time threes over a seven foot 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.680 four and really eight foot frame When windy goes, up 0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.440 and In game, five he saw that one move when 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:53.239 he got into the paint And wemby almost fell and 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.520 he was able to finish right at the. Rim, look 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.160 he knew he knows how to play in, angles he 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.879 understands the limitations and what he's. About and also, too 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.720 let's give the rest of the team a lot of 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:10.240 credits surrounding him with the right complements of. Players having 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:15.960 his guys From villanova like, heart and Having Michael bridges 0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.080 guys that understand how to play with, him how to 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:23.760 set them, up Having kat A stretch five putting the, 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.760 Parts Leon rose putting the parts around. Him they all 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:28.520 deserve credit. 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.720 HERE i know that it's a copycat, league or at 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.760 least you know that team. One maybe we should try 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:38.040 to do what they, do or we get people to 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:42.879 counteract what they're. DOING i don't know if gms are gonna, go, 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:48.360 hey let's build a cohesive team, here BECAUSE i, mean 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:52.360 this is not something out of a blueprint. Here these 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:55.960
