No Fanatics. I see the Fanatics logo Moucker.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
And that that particular foot locker you walk in and
you have to go up with escalator immediately. But when
you walk in, they already had the shirts like right
there with somebody handing them to you, like I know
you were okay. I literally got handed the shirt before
I even went up the escalator to go into the store.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Seven are models still around in New York?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know there's one by the Barclays. I don't know
if it's still there, but I don't think so. I
haven't seen the Model's a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:35):

Speaker 2 (01:49):
God.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
We were life lifelong Knicks fan. How old were you
in nineteen ninety nine?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I was twelve, twelve years old, So.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
First time in your adult life that has gotten to
the finals. How what's this playoffs been like for you?
And just how like giddy and excited are you for
Game one tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I'm getting excited just because they've reached the level that
I think us Nick fans have been begging for them
to reach, like basically for the past two seasons, and
that I wasn't sure they really had in them, you know,
My take on the Knicks was always up. Their ceiling
is really high, but they get to the ceiling like
they have to climb on the counter top to a
back flip onto like the stairs, and then take a
rope up to the ad like it's just hard to

(02:27):
get to their ceiling instead of just taking an elevator
straight to the ceiling. And we've seen that ceiling for
the past eleven games. So I'm excited that they could
be anybody. You know, if they would have beat Cleveland
and seven and had trouble with the Sixers, I don't
know how excited I would be. I would have like
a I'm just happy to be here type vibe. But
I genuinely think they can win it all.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I'm in yeah, like like going off what you said,
this season was like a roller coaster for the Knicks,
you know, there was I was. I was low key
out on them during that spell in January where they
lost where they also like eight out of their ten
and I was like, yo, I was like, I'm not
seeing this team take the lead that a new roster
should take in their second full season together right right now,

(03:09):
right because you know the first season with the new roster.
Y'all gott to fiure it out. Second season, y'all should
be clicking, you know what I mean. But then they
won like seven straight into the season, fucking going like
going a winning like like like like twelve out of
fifteen or something ridiculous. And then I was But then
we came into the playoffs, I was like, Okay, you know,
you know, it looks like shit's clicking. And then fucking
CJ mccullums started cooking out on this boys like they

(03:31):
might not ever get it. And then they fucking hit
a switch where this choy has played the best basketball
they've ever played together.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Never seen.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
It's just wild.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I've never seen a nick team play as well. It's
insane at the perfect time too,
