He was on the call the last time 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 2: the Knicks won the NBA Championship. We'll start with that. 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: With the Knicks beating the Spurs. That was Saturday night. 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: They went it four games to one, and I think 20 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: history is probably going to show this as, oh, four 21 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: games to one, it only went five. 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: Well, keep this in mind that. 23 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: The Spurs, if I looked at their chances of winning. Okay, 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: in the four games they lost, they were ninety one 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: percent chance to win game one, seventy two percent chance 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 2: to win game two, ninety nine percent chance to win 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: game four, ninety five percent chance to win game five. 28 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: They had double digit leads. It just felt like they 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: ran out of gas. And give credit to the Knicks, 30 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: because you wanted to have a team that had something 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: in the tank, and they did. And that's something was 32 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson. If you look at the time spent leading 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals, the Spurs led seventy two percent 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: of the time, the Knicks twenty four percent. Four percent 35 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 2: of the series was tied. You know, four games to 36 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: one feels like a blowout, but it wasn't. You know, 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: the Spurs were in these games. It was just you're 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: waiting for a moment in the moment never happened. But 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: the moment did happen for the Knicks, and congratulations to 40 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: them certainly their fans, and Jalen Brunson is your MVP, 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: and he spoke about playing with these guys to win 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: the championship. 43 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: Word's gonta describe it, But I'll say I put a 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: lot of time and effort into trying to be the 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 4: best player I can be to try and. 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 5: Help a team win. 47 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 4: Just really thinkful to have the organization, the coaching staff, 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 4: my teammates, to have my back every single day. 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 5: I think that means the most of me. 50 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: So we'll talk to his college coach, Jay Wrighthill join 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: us coming up. And I know this is a narrative 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 2: that it still seems to be. People are not going 53 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: to get off this podium. You didn't think nobody, You 54 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: didn't think Jalen Brunson could be You're absolutely right, and 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: you know what, everybody else thought the same way. So 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: for everybody who wants to point out that we didn't 57 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: think he could be a number one, his own head 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: coach in college, Jay Wright, is on record as saying 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: he did not think he could be this. He thought 60 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: he might be a two or three on a championship team. 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: So move on from that. Enjoy your championship. I never 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: understood this when you win a championship and then you 63 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: want a vent at everybody, it's fifty three years. Be excited, 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 2: embrace it. It was a wonderful moment for you and 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: for the city, for the San Antonio Spurs. I think 66 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: Wemby got exposed in a variety of ways here. I 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: think he came off as petty. I think he came 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: off occasionally as a guy who will give a cheap shot. 69 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: I didn't like, you know, sort of how he ended 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: the series. Go find Jalen Brunson. I mean, Jalen Brunson 71 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: was all class. Take this, take this moment here to 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: kind of say, look, I'm going to congratulate you. He did, 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: and he walked away. Now I know there's chaos when 74 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: you win a championship. Jalen Brunson went over to the 75 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: coaching staff of the Spurs to congratulate them on a 76 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: great series. 77 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: Keep this in mind. 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: When Wemby, remember when he had the foul that should 79 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: have been a flagrant. Okay, in the in the moment, 80 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: should have been flagrant. Brunson didn't do anything. You know, 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: he didn't He didn't say, hey, I want you to 82 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: rough him up. He didn't do anything like that. He 83 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: was class all the way, and I mean he got 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: caught up in the emotion. He's a guy who's probably 85 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 2: been I don't know, taken for granted, uh, you know, 86 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: probably doubted most of his career. But he showed that 87 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: he can be as clutch as any player we've seen 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: in recent history. Now we are really I'm listening yesterday 89 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: and analysts were saying, you know, he's a you know, 90 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: he's going to move up that list the greatest players 91 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: of all time. So he had a wonderful year, Shay 92 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: Gilgis is back to back MVP and won a title. 93 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: People already have Jalen Brunson as best player in the game. 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson's a great player. Okay, but we don't have 95 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: to get into compare and contract. Just enjoy it. How 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: about we wait till after the parade. Okay, that's Thursday. 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: Get the parade. Then if you want to get into 98 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: is he the greatest Nick of all time? He's not 99 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: the greatest Nick of all time? Willis Reid, is Wald 100 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: Fraser the greatest Knicks of all time. They won two 101 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: titles seventy and seventy three. Okay, Brunson gets there. Now 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: you can have a conversation, but be fair to his predecessors. 103 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: And it's not like Jalen Brunson is saying I'm the 104 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 2: greatest player in franchise history. Patrick Ewing didn't win by 105 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: the way. I reached out to Patrick Ewing after they 106 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: won and I said congratulations, and he said, finally a 107 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: world champion, and I loved it. 108 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: That's all. Finally a world champion. 109 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: He's an ambassador for the team, but he was there 110 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: court side, and uh, you know, this is a team. 111 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: It didn't matter. And I've said this before during the series. 112 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: They're going to play better on the road than they 113 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: will at home, and they did. Like that's a close 114 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: out game. That's Brunson saying to Victor Wembenyama, all right, 115 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: you want to try to punk me, you want to 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: point that you're in my uh you know, I'm in 117 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: your head or whatever it is, or I'm in your head. 118 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm going to go buy you and shoot 119 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 2: a layup, like, okay, I'm doing this on your home court. 120 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: I thought it was a message sent without trying, because 121 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: that's not who Brunson is. That was okay, all right, 122 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: you might be the future, you might be the unicorn. 123 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to your place and I'm gonna I'm 124 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: gonna close this out on your floor. You need to 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: learn something from that and give credit to Jalen Brunson 126 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: and the Knicks. I get was every night somebody else, 127 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: but Brunson, you put up forty five in a closeout game. 128 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: Now you're an elite company. And we also we'd like 129 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: to do this. Oh, where do they rank in history? 130 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: Where's this season? When they weren't great during the regular 131 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: season they were good? And look, did I think the 132 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Celtics were better than them? 133 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: Yes? I did. 134 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: The Hawks they're not good, sixers not good. I thought 135 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: Boston was going to be the team coming out of 136 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: the East. But we tend to look at well, who 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: did they beat the last four NBA champions. These are 138 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: the seeded teams. This is the teams they went through. 139 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: So the Nuggets in twenty twenty three they played an 140 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: eight four seven and eight, the Celtics in twenty four 141 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: eight four six five, the Thunder eight four six four, 142 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: the Knicks six, seven, four and two. 143 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 6: Who stands stay Steadata Day, Stanata Day. 144 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: This is the stat of. 145 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: The day, brought to you by Panini America. In other words, 146 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: if we're going to bring up leather Knix didn't play anybody, well, 147 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: did the Nuggets? 148 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: No, Celtics? Eh, Thunder? Eh? 149 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: I mean the Knicks beat a six A seven, a 150 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: four in a two sea. 151 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 3: Okay, it's all right, But where do they rank? 152 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 7: Oh? 153 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 2: They better than the twenty seventeen Warriors who went sixteen 154 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: and one. I would say no, but I don't want 155 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: to know. That's not the argument that I wanted to 156 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: have today, instead of looking at something that was truly 157 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: magical and enjoying that the one Lakers went fifteen and one. 158 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: Are they better than them? No, they're not the eighty 159 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: three seventy six ers who went twelve and one. Are 160 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: they better than them? 161 00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: No? 162 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Now, in my opinion, I got Bulls in nineteen ninety 163 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: one fifteen and two. No Spurs in ninety nine, fifteen 164 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 2: and two. No eighty nine Pistons fifteen and two. The 165 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: Knicks went sixteen and three. Are they one of the 166 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: great teams of all time? 167 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 8: Sure? 168 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how long the list is. But you 169 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: get into this comparing and I told you so, and 170 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: you miss out on the enjoyment of all of this. 171 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: And we've seen this. 172 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: With a lot of fans for some reason. You know, 173 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: when you get a surprise team, well you didn't believe 174 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: in them. Yeah, you're right, that's the beauty of sports. 175 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: Like I didn't think Hoosiers they were going to win 176 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 2: the title, the championship in the movie, I bet against them. 177 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: But you know, Indiana football. That's what makes this great, 178 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: this Seattle Seahawk. I mean, that's why we watch the Knicks. 179 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: The Knicks won the title. I don't care who they 180 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: went through. And yes, did they win by almost fifteen 181 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: points per game. That's impressive. That's an old time record 182 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,479 Speaker 2: fourteen point nine points. All of their victories. Enjoy it, celebrated, 183 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: although don't torch a bus or do stupid things like 184 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: people were doing. 185 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, And. 186 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 9: The thing about the teams that they swept, you got 187 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 9: to think about the seventy six ers. If I just 188 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 9: say the names they beat a team, wait, Joel Embiat 189 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 9: Tyrese Maxei and Paul George, the Cavaliers, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, 190 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 9: Evan Mobley. They made them look like they couldn't compare 191 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 9: to the Knicks. 192 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: The Knicks were three and one when they were down 193 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: by fifteen or more points in the postseason. The rest 194 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: of the NBA with that stat six and fifty eight 195 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: best and worst of the weekend will get to your 196 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: phone calls.

But you know, 215 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: I've always been such a big basketball fan. I would 216 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: say that. I almost said that that would trump the 217 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: other ones. But then you know what President Trump did 218 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: at the White House with that crowd.

I remember at Purdue just 340 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 4: taking shots that you would say, oh my god, no, 341 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 4: and then they go in and you just be like, 342 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 4: all right, all right. 343 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 5: Josh he had that from the beginning. 344 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 4: And so with each one of them you knew they 345 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 4: were special at a certain point. 346 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 3: And with Jalen. I talked to cal Perry last week. 347 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: He said that you guys were competing, that you both 348 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: were recruiting Jalen Brunson. Uh did he call you, I 349 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: think from a tournament like like West Virginia and said, hey, 350 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: I'm coming after the same guy you're you're going after. 351 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, we always did. 352 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 4: We would always talk about recruiting, and we never beat 353 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 4: him ever for a recruit. Usually the guys we would 354 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 4: get that he was recruiting, at some point he would 355 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 4: make a decision to go after somebody else. He even 356 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 4: has a place at the Jersey Shore in Lavalette and 357 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 4: not in Ocean City where I go to, because he 358 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 4: was looking in Ocean City and I said, dude, I 359 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 4: have to deal with you all year. I can't come 360 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 4: down to my Jersey Shore spot and look at you again, 361 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 4: so you can't stay in Ocean City. Pick anywhere but 362 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 4: Ocean City. But it's really true. We never beat him. 363 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 4: There was a point at the end. I can't remember 364 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 4: who they got, but they somebody. They kind of went 365 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 4: in another direction which allowed us to kind of get Jalen. 366 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 5: But we were talking the whole time. 367 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: We're talking to Jay Wright, hall of Fame coach and 368 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: former Villanova head coach winning national championships. When you look 369 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: at Brunson, you even said this publicly that you didn't 370 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 2: think he was a one. Maybe he was going to 371 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: be a two, a complimentary kind of the way he 372 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: was in Dallas, or maybe a three on a championship team. 373 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: What is it about him that makes him made for 374 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: these moments here? 375 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 5: Dan, I think he just proved it to everybody and 376 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 5: proved it to me. 377 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 4: I really thought the Dallas situation when Luka Doncics was 378 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 4: kind of the the go to guy, maybe the little 379 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: bit more wild scorer, but dominant physical player, and Jalen 380 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 4: was kind of the brains of the team and the 381 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 4: leader and the go to guy when you needed him. 382 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 4: I thought that was perfect for him. And when he 383 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 4: made the decision to go to New York. I never 384 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 4: we talked. I don't I don't think he asked my opinion. 385 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 4: I think he was just kind of talking it through, 386 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 4: kind of telling me what he was going to do. 387 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 4: And I didn't tell him what to do, but he 388 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 4: specifically said, like, I want to lead a team, and 389 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 4: I said, you know, go for it, my man. You 390 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 4: got to trust yourself. But what he has done is taken. 391 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 4: And he did this in high school, and he did 392 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 4: it in college, and now he's done it in the NBA, 393 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: which has blown my mind. He's taken his perceived inadequacies 394 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 4: like being too small, being too slow, not being athletic enough, 395 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 4: and figured out how people are defending him and how 396 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 4: to use that to his advantage at his changing speeds, 397 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 4: his physicality, his footwork. He uses that based on the 398 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: fact that people don't think he's athletic. He's more athletic 399 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 4: than people think. He's faster than people think. He's actually 400 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 4: bigger than people think too. They say he's six to won, 401 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 4: he's bigger than six one. But he uses that all 402 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 4: to his advantage and holds no grudge against anybody that 403 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 4: thinks that of him. 404 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 5: He just does it to prove it. 405 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: To himself, what is it that you taught these players 406 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: that has helped them be successful in the NBA? What 407 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 2: did they learn at Villanova? 408 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 5: I think, first of all, they brought a lot to 409 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 5: the table. 410 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 4: Especially all three of them have parents that would say 411 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 4: to them when they would struggle, you know what does 412 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 4: coach say? 413 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 5: Listen to coach, which sounds simple, but it's so rare 414 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 5: with great players. 415 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: I think the one thing that they all brought a 416 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 4: lot of talent, they brought a lot of competitiveness. 417 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 5: Our mantra at Villanova was the word attitude. 418 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 4: That you control your attitude on each play, and you 419 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 4: control your attitude on each day, so regardless of what 420 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 4: happened in the game before that next day, you got 421 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 4: to come with a clear mind, positive attitude, learn from 422 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 4: your mistakes, be humble based on your positive plays and 423 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 4: your successes, and then get better the next day, get 424 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: better the next play, have a clear mind the next play. 425 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 4: I think that's probably what they took from us the most, 426 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 4: and they've definitely added their own version of it in 427 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 4: a highly successful way. 428 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: And what I loved about the teams that you built 429 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: is you looked at this is not one year. I'm 430 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: building a team. I hope they stay three maybe they 431 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: stay four years. And it's such a luxury now for 432 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: a coach to be able to let them play when 433 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 2: a game is on the line, like I don't have 434 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: to micro manage them. And I always got into this 435 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: with Caliperi. I said, John, you can't have these one 436 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 2: and done because there's still kids when they get to 437 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: the tournament and that's why you know they get knocked off. 438 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: But did you I don't know if you settled for 439 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: this or did you avoid you wanted one and done. 440 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm guessing you just didn't get them, and then all 441 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: of a sudden you decide to have a different blueprint. 442 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 4: That's exactly what it was then, Like all all of 443 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 4: these guys, and a lot of the guys that John 444 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 4: got we recruited and we said to them, look, you 445 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 4: might be one and done, and if you are, great, 446 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 4: but you have to come to Villanova with the mentality 447 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: that you're going to be a part of something bigger 448 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: than yourself and that your best chance of being the 449 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 4: best player you can be is being a part of 450 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 4: this program and striving to get better every day. If 451 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 4: you want to just go and play your way and 452 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 4: put your talents on display for the NBA. There's other 453 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 4: places where you can do that extremely well. But Josh 454 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 4: Jalen McHale, all the guys that came with them to 455 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: Villanova came with the idea that I want to go 456 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 4: to the NBA, but I want to be the best 457 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 4: student I can be. All three of them graduated. I 458 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 4: want to be the best student I can be. I 459 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 4: want to be the best person I can be. I 460 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 4: want to be the best player. I have a lot 461 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 4: of room I have to grow. I want to do 462 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 4: that at Villanova, and then I want to be ready 463 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 4: when I get to the NBA. 464 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 5: I don't want to have to learn when I get 465 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 5: to the NBA. 466 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: Do you miss coaching now? I mean this time of 467 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: the year, you're in the garden for Game four. Do 468 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: you have to say to your wife, you know, maybe 469 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 2: I could coach again. 470 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 5: You know what? 471 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 4: Then I know that I'm done because I'm sitting there 472 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 4: at the garden and I'm watching Mike Brown stick with 473 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 4: I'm watching him stick with Alvarado at the end of 474 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 4: the game, and I'm thinking to myself, oh my god, 475 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 4: if this doesn't work, they're going to kill it. 476 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 5: I don't miss this at all. I thought that was 477 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 5: such a gutsy movie. 478 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I look. 479 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 4: At those guys and I and you know, I watch 480 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 4: a bad call and I look at Mike Brown and 481 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 4: I think to myself, he's dying inside. I know he's dying. 482 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 4: So I really enjoyed being a fan. I really don't 483 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 4: miss it. 484 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: Is that the best sporting event you ever been to, 485 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 2: aside from winning a couple of national titles? 486 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 5: But no, you know, that's that night. I didn't go 487 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 5: to any games. 488 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 4: I only went up to that game because Rick Brunson 489 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 4: texted me and asked me to come, and so I 490 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 4: knew it was kind of coming from the guys. And 491 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 4: our driver couldn't get our car within six blocks of 492 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 4: the garden, so I knew we were going to have 493 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: to get out of there and walk six blocks to 494 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 4: get to our car. 495 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 5: And it just looked like it wasn't going to be 496 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 5: their night. And I felt like in the third quarter, 497 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 5: I was like, I want to get out of here. 498 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 4: I want to get back to Philly, but I knew 499 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 4: I had to stop and see the guys afterwards, so 500 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: I wanted to stay and see them. So thank god, 501 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 4: I stayed because singing Frank Sinatra's New York, New York 502 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 4: with eighteen thousand, five hundred people singing Jay Z's Empire, 503 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: state of mind, being on the court, hugging John Starks 504 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 4: and Marbury and Spike Lee and Tim Thomas and Jalen 505 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 4: and Josh and Michel. That truly was one of the 506 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 4: greatest sporting events I've ever been to. 507 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 3: Do you feel like you won a national championship? 508 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 9: You know what? 509 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 5: In my heart? 510 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 4: I I don't know if it compares to there's a 511 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 4: unique feeling in my heart that you know, they took 512 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 4: me on this ride with them and all of us 513 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 4: at Villanova and we're a small small part of it, 514 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 4: just as fans. 515 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 5: But I you know, I woke up the day after 516 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 5: like we man. 517 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 4: I feel so good it's over.

Chris and Syracuse, congratulations, Chris, Hey. 620 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 6: Hey, thanks Dan. Yeah. Being a big Nick Van since 621 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 6: nineteen sixty eight. Saturday's win was awesome and the way 622 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 6: the team's been constructed, they could challenge the Spurs in 623 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 6: thunder the next couple of years, And along with Wemby 624 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 6: and SGA, you have to shoehorn Jalen Bronson's name in 625 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 6: there for the future face of the league. And I'm 626 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 6: so glad when the Knicks beat the Spurs for the 627 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 6: NBA Cup, they never raised a banner in Madison Square Garden. 628 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 6: Now four or five months later they beat the Spurs 629 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 6: again for the real deal, and they have a legit 630 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 6: bann at the raise of the rafters, and they can 631 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 6: raise the other one too. And in the deciding game 632 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 6: for the title, Jalen Brunson came through an historical way 633 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 6: to earn MVP. And last week you talked about walk 634 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 6: Clyde Frasiers deciding Game seven in nineteen seventy thirty six points, 635 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 6: nineteen assists, seven rebounds, and the team's best defender, And 636 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 6: those are unheard of numbers back then. And Clyde did 637 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 6: not get the MVP basically because of the great Willis 638 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 6: Reed storyline. But to this day, Clyde's still a little 639 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 6: salty about that, and I don't blame him. It'd be 640 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 6: like giving Og Andobi the MVP over Brunson because of 641 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 6: his magical block and tipping in Game four. And lastly, Dan, 642 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 6: the Knicks down double digits in all five games and 643 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 6: down twenty two against Cleveland, twenty nine against the Spurs 644 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 6: and win both and like you said, in the NBA Finals, 645 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 6: trailed seventy two percent of the time. Man, there's two 646 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 6: undeniable certainties in the life when it comes to this 647 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 6: New York Knicks team. No deficit is too big and 648 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 6: no guard is too small. As Jalen Bronson leaves the 649 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 6: New York Knicks to their first time title in fifty 650 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 6: three years. Thanks for the time, Dan. 651 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 2: All Right, Chris Yall, Wemby's got to get in better shape. 652 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 2: Usually you think with youth. He's twenty two. He was guessed. 653 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 2: I mean, this a long, long, long season, and most 654 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: of these players, you know, maybe you're playing thirty games 655 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: in a season in college. Wemby seemed really exhausted. It 656 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: felt like every game when you're missing your free throws. 657 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 2: I always look, you know, when somebody is missing shots, 658 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 2: front end shots, you know they're tired, they don't have 659 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 2: their legs, and it certainly showed with Wemby. I thought 660 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 2: he played really well. He didn't play great. He had 661 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 2: to play great for them to win this championship. Jalen 662 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 2: Brunson didn't play great, but when he needed to play great, 663 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 2: he did. And that's why I brought up You know, 664 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: we don't need to put Brunson at the head of 665 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 2: the line greatest nick of all time. Now, I think 666 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 2: what he did will be remembered, sort of like Joe 667 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 2: Namath when you know the Jets were big underdogs. Now, 668 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: the Knicks weren't underdogs. The Jets were seventeen point underdogs 669 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 2: against the Colts in nineteen sixty nine, and Joe guaranteed 670 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. 671 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 3: But you know that's it. I mean Joe Namath. 672 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 2: When you think of the Jets, you still think of 673 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 2: Joe Namath because he won a championship. Brunson after fifty 674 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 2: three years, you can single him out, and rightfully so. 675 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 2: But don't forget about Walt Fraser. You go for thirty 676 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 2: six nineteen seven rebound, six steals, you're playing against Jerry 677 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 2: West and the Lakers don't forget about that performance. 678 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 3: And they also won in nineteen seventy three. Yes, Mark, Yes, 679 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 3: I think I said it last week. 680 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 9: Brunce is probably in that Reggie Jackson category where he 681 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 9: might not be a nick as long as Walt Fraser 682 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 9: or Patrick Ewing, but what he did here you'll always remember. 683 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 9: Reggie Jackson was only a Yankee for about five years. Yeah, 684 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 9: but you still remember why he's called mister October. 685 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 10: Yeah, great point, Yes, Dylan, I mean Jalen's own dad said, 686 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 10: Patrick Ewing is the best nick. 687 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 3: He's Alex in Utah, Hi, Alex, what do you have 688 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 3: for me? 689 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 13: A good morning? 690 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 3: Gentlemen? 691 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 13: Have best to work for the weekend?

For the second time in his career, 708 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 8: Yoshinobu Yamamoto has carried a no hitter into the ninth inning, 709 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 8: only to lose it on the first batter of the 710 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 8: inning with a solo shot to finish off with a 711 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 8: one hitter. The best of the weekend. I know that 712 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 8: you touched about it a little bit earlier about where 713 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 8: does this rank the Knicks? However, I'm not talking about 714 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 8: dominance because we saw the Lakers back in the day 715 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 8: with the dynasty, we saw the Bulls back in the day. 716 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 8: But when we talked about finals teams of showing the 717 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,479 Speaker 8: never say guy attitude, the resiliency of this team being 718 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 8: down so much, and even when the finals started, everybody's like, 719 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 8: who's gonna guard Wenby? No one's gonna stop Wenby. This 720 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 8: team is young. This team is that nobody gave the 721 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,919 Speaker 8: Knicks a championship. For those wearing orange and blue, where 722 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 8: does this Knicks team rank? Because they were the funnest side. 723 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 8: But I think I've ever seen you have a great week. 724 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 2: Thank you guys. Yeah, it was always in aertaining but 725 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 2: it was true to form. And I started watching the 726 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 2: game and I said, Nix will go down double digits. 727 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 2: I'm watching with two Nick fans. They're like, why are 728 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: you hating? I go, no, no, no, you watch. They'll 729 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 2: be down twelve, they'll be down fourteen, and they'll come back. 730 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 2: And then they were down twelve and fourteen and they 731 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 2: came back. I said, no, I don't have a bias here, 732 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 2: Like I love a storyline. If you say Jalen Brunson's 733 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 2: going to win a title and he's going to do 734 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 2: it in dramatic fashion, awesome. If you said Wemby was 735 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 2: going to win, awesome. I thought the Knicks were going 736 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 2: to win, but I did want Wemby to play. 737 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 3: Well. 738 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 2: I've been a you know, I've been on that bandwagon 739 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 2: a long time just because I've seen a lot of 740 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 2: unique players in you know, sixty years watching the sport. 741 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 2: And when you see somebody like this, but he's you know, 742 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 2: he's got to start talking to some people who were 743 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 2: going to get him in shape. And I think that 744 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 2: was The biggest thing that stood out is he's gonna 745 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 2: get roughed up a little bit just because of his build. 746 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: But you know, he can add some weight, but he 747 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 2: needs to have endurance. He needs to be in better 748 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,959 Speaker 2: shape than the guys who were going to be trying 749 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 2: to rough him up. 750 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 3: Uh. Red in Georgia, Hey Red, good. 751 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 12: Morning then, and then this man, thanks for taking a call. 752 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 12: Then what I noticed about this Bird team man down 753 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 12: the stretch in the floor quarter. They realized that their 754 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 12: youth was a problem and they find out in a 755 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 12: veteran player like Darren Fox, he is not the player 756 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 12: in the floor quarter. 757 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 7: That they need. And then you take a lot of 758 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 7: time when those guard was going into Winby in the 759 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 7: paint or whether they're throwing him an ally, it seem 760 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 7: and it wasn't coming from a natural easy ell. You 761 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 7: was supposed to be easy. 762 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 12: They just throwing up there. 763 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 7: Hope he go get it. 764 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 12: He try to get it at an opra position, and 765 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 12: they need to work with him together, the guards and 766 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 12: Winby and where his position where he wanted the ball. 767 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 2: Well, he has to yes, he has to get in 768 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 2: better position, but he's got to get in better shape. 769 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 2: Our resident Knicks fan Rob is going to be in 770 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 2: the confessional.
