Speaker 1 (06:29):
You think I'm wrong. Let me know.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Love the feedback, let me know. We read it all,
we see it all. I have to get right to it.
For all intentsive purposes, the NBA season is officially over
for me. For all intentsive purposes, the NBA season is
officially over for New York Nick fans.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
We lost. We lost to the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I don't know if you have been hiding underneath the
rock or in a cave or any hot air balloon,
but the New York Knicks lost again to the Indiana
Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals in six hard fought,
highly emotional, at times haunting games. Some of those games
(07:22):
were haunting, obviously. Game one at the Garden is something
that will be something that will be replaying in the
minds of Nick fans, in the hearts and minds of
Indiana Pacer fans. Losing that game, losing this series to
(07:46):
the Pacers, it really hurts. It's like double or triple.
It's one thing to lose a series. You get bumped out,
especially when you have soon. We preceeded expectations. The Knicks
superseded expectations this year. I don't care what anyone else says,
I don't care what anyone else thinks. The Knicks beat
(08:09):
the champion, the world champion, Boston Celtics. We came back twice,
not once, twice, two times, two times and beat Boston
in Boston. And obviously Jason Tatum going down didn't help
the Celtics. But we had already done that. We already
done did that before the great Jason Tatum and we
(08:31):
are wishing you a speedy recovery went down. But the
Knicks beat Boston, we beat Detroit, we beat Boston.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And then.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It was a tough, tough, tough, tough loss losing to
the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That was tough. That was tough.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But before I get into how bad it feels, and
I know so many people outside of New York, so
many non New York Knick fans are like, oh, what
about your pizza? What about your dogs? What about your
your Timberland boots? And what about your yo it's brick
outside yo and yo as you valid and your chicken
(09:10):
chop cheese and your blt's and your bacon egg and
cheese and all that and your New York Deli bullshit,
And what about your pizza and your hot dogs and
your five burrows. I know that so many Nick haters
are talking about that and mocking us, and oh and
(09:33):
you you like to crossover, and it's the mecca and
it's the city game. And I said from the beginning,
it was concrete versus the cornfields, the cornfields of Indiana
verse the concrete of New York.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Because these people.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
In Indiana, they like to think they invented basketball. And
it's a long storied rivalry between the Nicks and the
miserable Indiana Pacers. And it started in the nineties and
we won some, we lost some, but the last two
(10:11):
we lost. The most recent battles we lost. And I
had to watch the majority of this season with my
headphones on, stifling my feelings, stifling my joy, stifling my
pain because my wife would fall asleep. I couldn't scream,
(10:31):
I couldn't yell, I couldn't cheer the way I wanted
to internally.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I had to just sit there and watch it and
be excited. And some of these games.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Were hard, drawn out, tough, hard fought games.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And it sucks.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And like I said, I know there's so many people
around the world New York haters, New York Nick fan haters,
New York sport fan haters, people in Boston, people in
Philly obviously, people in Indiana going what about your pizza
and your hot dogs? What happened to your pizza and
your hot dogs? You lost again, you fox, and I know,
(11:14):
I know, but we did supersede expectations. And of course
all the smarty pants quitters geniuses who probably never have
played basketball on social media, and all the analysts talking about, well,
they need to fire Thibs, they need to trade cat.
(11:35):
Literally after the game, I'm seeing people the first thing
that the Knicks need to do is fire coach Thibbs
and trade Karl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Do you know this is not happening?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Did you think it was going to be easy to
beat the Indiana Pacers? Do you think it's going to
be easy to make it to the NBA Finals? Did
you not watch the last dance? Do you not watch basketball?
You have to go through the fire, you have to
go through the storm. And yes, New York Knick fans,
we've been through fires, We've been through storms, and we
never seem to make it on the other side. And
(12:08):
I hate losing to these people in Indiana. I hate
losing to them. They make me sick.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Tyree's Halliburton.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's hard to dislike Pascal Siakam, but that Tyree's Halliburton
and Reggie Miller calling the games, and so many people
are personally I like that Regi Miller called the games.
I think it's great. We know that he wants the
Pacers to win. I just wish he would just cut
it and be like root for them, broadcast the games,
(12:38):
and literally root for the Pacers because he's orgasmic. The
guy is literally orgasmic every single time that the Knicks
are down and the Pacers are up. Every single time
something was going good, Regi Miller's like, he's like having
like a quiet, quiet orgasm and we had to it
(13:00):
through it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But I think it's good.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
For the game.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But this idea that now we have to fire the
coach and trade the second best player on our team,
the big Cat, the big Bodega Cat, Karl Anthony Towns
and Jalen Brunson went from being Joe Namath.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Joe Willie Namath the MVP. Two.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, you can't win a championship with Jalen Brunson. You
know nothing about basketball. You know nothing about basketball. We're
not firing the coach. Yes we need more depth, no Bruno.
Yes we need to improve our bench. Like every team,
you always have to improve.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But it just stinks.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It just stinks to get that far and to get
that close. Oh well, how close were we? How close
were the New York next We made it to the
Eastern Conference Finals. We lost that, and yes we lost
game two, and we shouldn't have lost game one or
game two.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But when you lose the first two games at home.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
What do you expect? What do you expect to happen?
You're not gonna come back from that. You lose the
first two games at home in heartbreaking, dramatic, haunting fashion,
with the Pacers down. I believe it was fourteen points
and nobody knew who aaron Ni Smith was before that game,
but everybody in New York knows exactly who aaron Ni
(14:30):
Smith is now before the podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But I will never forget.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I will never forget the way that felt, that horror,
that haunting, and for me, the Knicks losing, for me,
the Knicks losing the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
The only way I could explain it is just I
feel like a kid.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I feel like like my twenty three, twenty four year
old self. And I know I was a young man
named but I wasn't fully developed. Let's be honest. At
twenty three, twenty four, I was not fully developed. But
when the Knicks would lose in ninety one, ninety two,
ninety three, ninety four, ninety five, ninety six, like I
really really put everything into rooting for the Knicks versus
(15:29):
the Miami Heat versus the Chicago Bulls versus the Indiana Pacers,
and Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And Tim Hardaway.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Down there and all those Miami teams and the pat
Riley and the pat Riley Leaving and the Jeff Van Gundy.
And we won some, we lost some, and we made
it to the finals twice. But it hurts to keep
getting that close. It hurts to keep getting within arms
reach of actually winning a championship. In New York, the
(16:02):
world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, I had to
sit there and watch the San Antonio Spurs. I had
to sit there in Houston Game seven verse the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We came oh so close. And I'll be honest, you
can only take so much.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
How many times can you get up off the floor
and get back on the horse and root and root
and root, because there's a part of me that doesn't.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's like being cheated on or being dumped by a girl.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You love that pain, that rejection, that pain, that rejection,
that pain, that rejection, that pain, that rejection of being
a New York Knicks fan. And I was talking to
this kid today. I was on the street. You know,
they go, what do you think about the Knicks? This
kid was twelve. He said, I may never get to
see them win a championship while I'm alive. I go,
(16:55):
you little shit, you you're twelve years old. How dare you?
I'm fifty five. There's people older than me, These young
Nick fans, God bless them. They don't know the heartbreak
and the pain of losing the Michael Jordan. They don't
know the heartbreak and the pain of losing in the
finals to the Spurs, losing in the finals, Game seven
(17:20):
in Houston. Somehow, some way, we made it to Game
seven in Houston and losing, and the Reggie Miller and
the choking and the debt left Shrimp. I mean, the
Rick Smith's and the Davis Boys, and the Chris Mullen
and the Larry Bird and the Isaiah Thomas and Fuckingdiana Man.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Fuck Indiana. Fuck Indiana.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Fuck Larry Bird, okay sorry, fuck Steve Alford, Fuck Damon Bailey.
Fuck the late great Bobby Knight. Sorry sorry, he was great.
I loved Bobby Knight. But but fuck Indiana basketball, fuck
their jump shots, Fuck the Hoosiers, fuck that movie.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I feel like it's overrated.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No disrespect to the great Gene Hackman, but fuck the Indiana.
It was a brutal, brutal, painful loss, and we're not
supposed to take it well. And I don't like people mocking,
how's your pizza today, asshole? Nixon eight, Nixon nine, asshole?
How's your hot dogs and your pizza today? How's your
chicken chomped cheese today? Assholes? That's what they're saying to
(18:19):
Nick fans. How's your blt Nick fans? How's your heroes
and your palmerjan and your gabbagol Knicks fans. That's what
they're saying to us. But we're not firing Thims. We're
not trading Big Cat. We superseded expectations. We made it
to the Eastern Conference finals. We lost to a better team,
(18:40):
a faster team, a deeper team, No Diddy. They were
full court pressing Jalen Brunson like it was aau in
high school. You don't see the point guard in the
NBA get full court pressed all game, every game.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But then the Pacers were built to do that, and
they did it, and he was incredible. And I love
these guys. They're understated. There's no glitz, there's no big quotes.
They're all low key.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
They're chill.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
There's no outfits, there's no fit checks. Before the games,
they come in and sweatpants and shorts. Mitchell Robinson. It's
a good, likable team. We're just not championship ready yet.
But I believe in this next team. I believe in Thibbs.
I believe in this New York Knicks structure and this culture,
and hopefully, somehow, some way they stay healthy. We get
(19:35):
a couple of extra pieces, make the team a little deeper,
no Bruno, make the team a little deeper, No Diddy,
and we could get over the hump. We need to
just get over the hump. But calm down with you
firing this one and trading that one.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And I know I said that.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
For all intentsive purposes. The NBA season is over. It's
not over, of course. I'm gonna watch the finals. It's
gonna be great basketball. I don't know, I don't really
have a how can I root for the page I'm
not rooting for the Pacers. I don't love I'm gonna
root for OKC. I'm rooting for OKAC because I can't
stand the Pacers. It's not the gentlemanly big thing to
(20:12):
do to root for the team that just beat you.
I'm never rooting for the Pacers. I didn't root for
the Pacers when they played the Lakers after they beat
the Knicks. I'm never ever rooting for the Indiana Pacers. Sorry,
rooting for OKC. It's gonna be good basketball and the
NBA YO. The NBA is changed. The final four teams
(20:33):
were are of course SGA. Shay Gilders, the MVP in
Oklahoma City and his whole crew of young guns, young guys, fun,
care free group of guys that love to play together.
Of course, Minnesota, who got dismantled Anthony Edwards, young fun.
(20:58):
You gotta figure out what you want to do, Anthony Edwards.
He'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's twenty three.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
What were you doing when you were twenty th Everybody
like Anthony Edwards ain't ready to be the face of
the NBA. He doesn't know what the hell he's ready
to do. He doesn't even have any dick control. He's
having baby after baby after baby after baby.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
He'll figure it out. And you can't just.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Say I want to be the face of the NBA.
You can't just say I want to be the face
of the league. You have to have the show and
the proof on the court. You have to win on
the court, win a championship, which everybody knows you See,
it ain't easy.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And you have to have that Jenna sa Qua off
the court.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
He certainly has that Jenna se Quah off the court
during interviews, but allegedly he just had four kids in
two years or three kids in three years. Keep it
in your pants, Anthony Edwards, how many more kids you want?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Man?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Call Dwight Howard up, Call Evander Holyfield up. See if
you really really.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Want to continue down that road, child support, child support,
child it's expensive. You're gonna want to be the face
of the league if you keeping him having to pay
that child. You don't want to be doing fruit loop commercials,
foot locker commercials, Gatorade, baby wipes, diapers, baby milk, formula
and all that.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Anthony Edwards, he'd be selling all that shit.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But you can't just anoint somebody that reminds me of
after Michael Jordan, when they were like, He's the next
Mike Is he gonna be the next Mike Grant Hill,
Is he gonna be the next Mike Tracy McGrady, He's
gonna be the next mic Salan Iverson, He's gonna be
the next Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, He's there's one Michael Jordan,
There's one Alan Iverson, There's one Lebron James, There's one
(22:43):
Steph Curry, There's one Kevin Durant. And now we got
the new guys in there, Shay Gilders, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson,
Karl Anthony Towns, Tyrese Halliburton, Pascal Siakam.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The league has.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Changed, It's evolved. The super duper stars who are the
face of the NBA. They have gotten the torch taken
from them. All four teams in the East and the West,
both both East and West. New guys, new regime, young guns,
new Faces.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's Evolution.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
But of course I'm gonna watch the finals. The Finals
are gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It's gonna be great, good, fun, fast paced basketball with
a lot of fresh, new young talent. For non NBA
fans if they watch it, I hope you watch it.
I'm gonna be watching it. Like I said, I'm proud
of the Knicks. I'm disappointed with the Knicks. Reggie Miller sucks.
They really sucks. And the Pacers they're like the New
(23:57):
York Knicks Kryptonite. Kryptonite you spell with a K, New
York Nixy spell with a K.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
They just they were a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
But small market teams both in the in the finals.
NBA wants to figure out who the face of the
league is. Obviously Shaye Chet, Jay Dumb Hallie Pascal Oh Canada.
The two best players on both teams arguably are from Canada.
Shay Gilders is definitely the best player Oh Canada and
(24:30):
Pascal Siakam Uh He's from Cameroon, played for the You
know Pascal Siaka he was instrumental. Do not forget how
instrumental Pascal Siakam was. When the Toronto Raptors beat the
decimated injured Golden State Warriors. But oh Canada, Halliburton, lou
(24:51):
Dort Canadian, the other kid on Indiana nem Hart Uh No,
is it there's another Canadian anyway?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's great. Pascal versus Chet will be fun.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Sga is gonna be getting hounded versus Nimhard Jay Dubb
versus Neysmith.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I mean in Halliburn, you gotta play every single night.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You gotta be aggressive every single night if you're going
to be that dude. That's why you didn't win the MVP.
But he's gonna have lou Dort all over him. Hartenstein,
we love Hartenstein Jewish and name only not Jewish.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
He's white, but.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
He's actually half black. Hartenstein missed him for the Knicks.
You know that'll be I'm room for OKC. Both teams
have deep benches and shoot a lot of threes. And
the Pacers are not gonna be running up and down
the way they ran up and down versus the New
York Knicks.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Okac's also fast, also deep, No Diddy.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And I'm not, you know, doing something drastic or something
out of the box here, but I'm going with the
Oklahoma City Thunder winning this game.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
In six.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
The Oklahoma City thunder are going to win this NBA
Finals in six. Barring injury. Anything could happen, an ankle, twist,
thumb jam, pinky elbow, anything could happen. But I got
Oklahoma City winning the NBA Finals twenty twenty five in

Speaker 1 (06:29):
You think I'm wrong. Let me know.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Love the feedback, let me know. We read it all,
we see it all. I have to get right to it.
For all intentsive purposes, the NBA season is officially over
for me. For all intentsive purposes, the NBA season is
officially over for New York Nick fans.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
We lost. We lost to the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I don't know if you have been hiding underneath the
rock or in a cave or any hot air balloon,
but the New York Knicks lost again to the Indiana
Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals in six hard fought,
highly emotional, at times haunting games. Some of those games
(07:22):
were haunting, obviously. Game one at the Garden is something
that will be something that will be replaying in the
minds of Nick fans, in the hearts and minds of
Indiana Pacer fans. Losing that game, losing this series to
(07:46):
the Pacers, it really hurts. It's like double or triple.
It's one thing to lose a series. You get bumped out,
especially when you have soon. We preceeded expectations. The Knicks
superseded expectations this year. I don't care what anyone else says,
I don't care what anyone else thinks. The Knicks beat
(08:09):
the champion, the world champion, Boston Celtics. We came back twice,
not once, twice, two times, two times and beat Boston
in Boston. And obviously Jason Tatum going down didn't help
the Celtics. But we had already done that. We already
done did that before the great Jason Tatum and we
(08:31):
are wishing you a speedy recovery went down. But the
Knicks beat Boston, we beat Detroit, we beat Boston.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And then.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It was a tough, tough, tough, tough loss losing to
the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That was tough. That was tough.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But before I get into how bad it feels, and
I know so many people outside of New York, so
many non New York Knick fans are like, oh, what
about your pizza? What about your dogs? What about your
your Timberland boots? And what about your yo it's brick
outside yo and yo as you valid and your chicken
(09:10):
chop cheese and your blt's and your bacon egg and
cheese and all that and your New York Deli bullshit,
And what about your pizza and your hot dogs and
your five burrows. I know that so many Nick haters
are talking about that and mocking us, and oh and
(09:33):
you you like to crossover, and it's the mecca and
it's the city game. And I said from the beginning,
it was concrete versus the cornfields, the cornfields of Indiana
verse the concrete of New York.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Because these people.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
In Indiana, they like to think they invented basketball. And
it's a long storied rivalry between the Nicks and the
miserable Indiana Pacers. And it started in the nineties and
we won some, we lost some, but the last two
(10:11):
we lost. The most recent battles we lost. And I
had to watch the majority of this season with my
headphones on, stifling my feelings, stifling my joy, stifling my
pain because my wife would fall asleep. I couldn't scream,
(10:31):
I couldn't yell, I couldn't cheer the way I wanted
to internally.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I had to just sit there and watch it and
be excited. And some of these games.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Were hard, drawn out, tough, hard fought games.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And it sucks.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And like I said, I know there's so many people
around the world New York haters, New York Nick fan haters,
New York sport fan haters, people in Boston, people in
Philly obviously, people in Indiana going what about your pizza
and your hot dogs? What happened to your pizza and
your hot dogs? You lost again, you fox, and I know,
(11:14):
I know, but we did supersede expectations. And of course
all the smarty pants quitters geniuses who probably never have
played basketball on social media, and all the analysts talking about, well,
they need to fire Thibs, they need to trade cat.
(11:35):
Literally after the game, I'm seeing people the first thing
that the Knicks need to do is fire coach Thibbs
and trade Karl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Do you know this is not happening?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Did you think it was going to be easy to
beat the Indiana Pacers? Do you think it's going to
be easy to make it to the NBA Finals? Did
you not watch the last dance? Do you not watch basketball?
You have to go through the fire, you have to
go through the storm. And yes, New York Knick fans,
we've been through fires, We've been through storms, and we
never seem to make it on the other side. And
(12:08):
I hate losing to these people in Indiana. I hate
losing to them. They make me sick.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Tyree's Halliburton.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's hard to dislike Pascal Siakam, but that Tyree's Halliburton
and Reggie Miller calling the games, and so many people
are personally I like that Regi Miller called the games.
I think it's great. We know that he wants the
Pacers to win. I just wish he would just cut
it and be like root for them, broadcast the games,
(12:38):
and literally root for the Pacers because he's orgasmic. The
guy is literally orgasmic every single time that the Knicks
are down and the Pacers are up. Every single time
something was going good, Regi Miller's like, he's like having
like a quiet, quiet orgasm and we had to it
(13:00):
through it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But I think it's good.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
For the game.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But this idea that now we have to fire the
coach and trade the second best player on our team,
the big Cat, the big Bodega Cat, Karl Anthony Towns
and Jalen Brunson went from being Joe Namath.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Joe Willie Namath the MVP. Two.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, you can't win a championship with Jalen Brunson. You
know nothing about basketball. You know nothing about basketball. We're
not firing the coach. Yes we need more depth, no Bruno.
Yes we need to improve our bench. Like every team,
you always have to improve.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But it just stinks.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It just stinks to get that far and to get
that close. Oh well, how close were we? How close
were the New York next We made it to the
Eastern Conference Finals. We lost that, and yes we lost
game two, and we shouldn't have lost game one or
game two.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But when you lose the first two games at home.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
What do you expect? What do you expect to happen?
You're not gonna come back from that. You lose the
first two games at home in heartbreaking, dramatic, haunting fashion,
with the Pacers down. I believe it was fourteen points
and nobody knew who aaron Ni Smith was before that game,
but everybody in New York knows exactly who aaron Ni
(14:30):
Smith is now before the podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But I will never forget.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I will never forget the way that felt, that horror,
that haunting, and for me, the Knicks losing, for me,
the Knicks losing the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
The only way I could explain it is just I
feel like a kid.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I feel like like my twenty three, twenty four year
old self. And I know I was a young man
named but I wasn't fully developed. Let's be honest. At
twenty three, twenty four, I was not fully developed. But
when the Knicks would lose in ninety one, ninety two,
ninety three, ninety four, ninety five, ninety six, like I
really really put everything into rooting for the Knicks versus
(15:29):
the Miami Heat versus the Chicago Bulls versus the Indiana Pacers,
and Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And Tim Hardaway.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Down there and all those Miami teams and the pat
Riley and the pat Riley Leaving and the Jeff Van Gundy.
And we won some, we lost some, and we made
it to the finals twice. But it hurts to keep
getting that close. It hurts to keep getting within arms
reach of actually winning a championship. In New York, the
(16:02):
world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, I had to
sit there and watch the San Antonio Spurs. I had
to sit there in Houston Game seven verse the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We came oh so close. And I'll be honest, you
can only take so much.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
How many times can you get up off the floor
and get back on the horse and root and root
and root, because there's a part of me that doesn't.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's like being cheated on or being dumped by a girl.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You love that pain, that rejection, that pain, that rejection,
that pain, that rejection, that pain, that rejection of being
a New York Knicks fan. And I was talking to
this kid today. I was on the street. You know,
they go, what do you think about the Knicks? This
kid was twelve. He said, I may never get to
see them win a championship while I'm alive. I go,
(16:55):
you little shit, you you're twelve years old. How dare you?
I'm fifty five. There's people older than me, These young
Nick fans, God bless them. They don't know the heartbreak
and the pain of losing the Michael Jordan. They don't
know the heartbreak and the pain of losing in the
finals to the Spurs, losing in the finals, Game seven
(17:20):
in Houston. Somehow, some way, we made it to Game
seven in Houston and losing, and the Reggie Miller and
the choking and the debt left Shrimp. I mean, the
Rick Smith's and the Davis Boys, and the Chris Mullen
and the Larry Bird and the Isaiah Thomas and Fuckingdiana Man.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Fuck Indiana. Fuck Indiana.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Fuck Larry Bird, okay sorry, fuck Steve Alford, Fuck Damon Bailey.
Fuck the late great Bobby Knight. Sorry sorry, he was great.
I loved Bobby Knight. But but fuck Indiana basketball, fuck
their jump shots, Fuck the Hoosiers, fuck that movie.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I feel like it's overrated.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No disrespect to the great Gene Hackman, but fuck the Indiana.
It was a brutal, brutal, painful loss, and we're not
supposed to take it well. And I don't like people mocking,
how's your pizza today, asshole? Nixon eight, Nixon nine, asshole?
How's your hot dogs and your pizza today? How's your
chicken chomped cheese today? Assholes? That's what they're saying to
(18:19):
Nick fans. How's your blt Nick fans? How's your heroes
and your palmerjan and your gabbagol Knicks fans. That's what
they're saying to us. But we're not firing Thims. We're
not trading Big Cat. We superseded expectations. We made it
to the Eastern Conference finals. We lost to a better team,
(18:40):
a faster team, a deeper team, No Diddy. They were
full court pressing Jalen Brunson like it was aau in
high school. You don't see the point guard in the
NBA get full court pressed all game, every game.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But then the Pacers were built to do that, and
they did it, and he was incredible. And I love
these guys. They're understated. There's no glitz, there's no big quotes.
They're all low key.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
They're chill.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
There's no outfits, there's no fit checks. Before the games,
they come in and sweatpants and shorts. Mitchell Robinson. It's
a good, likable team. We're just not championship ready yet.
But I believe in this next team. I believe in Thibbs.
I believe in this New York Knicks structure and this culture,
and hopefully, somehow, some way they stay healthy. We get
(19:35):
a couple of extra pieces, make the team a little deeper,
no Bruno, make the team a little deeper, No Diddy,
and we could get over the hump. We need to
just get over the hump. But calm down with you
firing this one and trading that one.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And I know I said that.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
For all intentsive purposes. The NBA season is over. It's
not over, of course. I'm gonna watch the finals. It's
gonna be great basketball. I don't know, I don't really
have a how can I root for the page I'm
not rooting for the Pacers. I don't love I'm gonna
root for OKC. I'm rooting for OKAC because I can't
stand the Pacers. It's not the gentlemanly big thing to
(20:12):
do to root for the team that just beat you.
I'm never rooting for the Pacers. I didn't root for
the Pacers when they played the Lakers after they beat
the Knicks. I'm never ever rooting for the Indiana Pacers. Sorry,
rooting for OKC. It's gonna be good basketball and the
NBA YO. The NBA is changed. The final four teams
(20:33):
were are of course SGA. Shay Gilders, the MVP in
Oklahoma City and his whole crew of young guns, young guys, fun,
care free group of guys that love to play together.
Of course, Minnesota, who got dismantled Anthony Edwards, young fun.
(20:58):
You gotta figure out what you want to do, Anthony Edwards.
He'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's twenty three.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
What were you doing when you were twenty th Everybody
like Anthony Edwards ain't ready to be the face of
the NBA. He doesn't know what the hell he's ready
to do. He doesn't even have any dick control. He's
having baby after baby after baby after baby.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
He'll figure it out. And you can't just.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Say I want to be the face of the NBA.
You can't just say I want to be the face
of the league. You have to have the show and
the proof on the court. You have to win on
the court, win a championship, which everybody knows you See,
it ain't easy.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And you have to have that Jenna sa Qua off
the court.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
He certainly has that Jenna se Quah off the court
during interviews, but allegedly he just had four kids in
two years or three kids in three years. Keep it
in your pants, Anthony Edwards, how many more kids you want?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Man?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Call Dwight Howard up, Call Evander Holyfield up. See if
you really really.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Want to continue down that road, child support, child support,
child it's expensive. You're gonna want to be the face
of the league if you keeping him having to pay
that child. You don't want to be doing fruit loop commercials,
foot locker commercials, Gatorade, baby wipes, diapers, baby milk, formula
and all that.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Anthony Edwards, he'd be selling all that shit.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But you can't just anoint somebody that reminds me of
after Michael Jordan, when they were like, He's the next
Mike Is he gonna be the next Mike Grant Hill,
Is he gonna be the next Mike Tracy McGrady, He's
gonna be the next mic Salan Iverson, He's gonna be
the next Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, He's there's one Michael Jordan,
There's one Alan Iverson, There's one Lebron James, There's one
(22:43):
Steph Curry, There's one Kevin Durant. And now we got
the new guys in there, Shay Gilders, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson,
Karl Anthony Towns, Tyrese Halliburton, Pascal Siakam.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The league has.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Changed, It's evolved. The super duper stars who are the
face of the NBA. They have gotten the torch taken
from them. All four teams in the East and the West,
both both East and West. New guys, new regime, young guns,
new Faces.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's Evolution.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
But of course I'm gonna watch the finals. The Finals
are gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It's gonna be great, good, fun, fast paced basketball with
a lot of fresh, new young talent. For non NBA
fans if they watch it, I hope you watch it.
I'm gonna be watching it. Like I said, I'm proud
of the Knicks. I'm disappointed with the Knicks. Reggie Miller sucks.
They really sucks. And the Pacers they're like the New
(23:57):
York Knicks Kryptonite. Kryptonite you spell with a K, New
York Nixy spell with a K.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
They just they were a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
But small market teams both in the in the finals.
NBA wants to figure out who the face of the
league is. Obviously Shaye Chet, Jay Dumb Hallie Pascal Oh Canada.
The two best players on both teams arguably are from Canada.
Shay Gilders is definitely the best player Oh Canada and
(24:30):
Pascal Siakam Uh He's from Cameroon, played for the You
know Pascal Siaka he was instrumental. Do not forget how
instrumental Pascal Siakam was. When the Toronto Raptors beat the
decimated injured Golden State Warriors. But oh Canada, Halliburton, lou
(24:51):
Dort Canadian, the other kid on Indiana nem Hart Uh No,
is it there's another Canadian anyway?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's great. Pascal versus Chet will be fun.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Sga is gonna be getting hounded versus Nimhard Jay Dubb
versus Neysmith.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I mean in Halliburn, you gotta play every single night.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You gotta be aggressive every single night if you're going
to be that dude. That's why you didn't win the MVP.
