Hello, Matty.

Listen live weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. on 880 ESPN in New York, the ESPN New York app.

Or on your smart speaker by asking it to play ESPN New York.

And here we are. We've waited a minute for this. We've waited since 1999 for this.

27 years. And today is the day. Good morning. D&R with you. How are you? I'm doing fantastic. Yeah. Great. Thank you. You get a haircut. Got a haircut. As you know, I was sun-kissed over the

weekend. New shirt. Yeah. Ready to go. I figured, if not today, when? Then when? Right?

I mean, get yourself ready for the NBA finals tonight, game one. I couldn't be more ready.

It's good for you. Yes. Couldn't be more ready. I am excited. I am, the only problem is the length of the day. It's going to be a long game. You know, it's 6 o'clock now, and this game tips off at like 8, 4, 2, 5, whatever it's going to be. It's going to, I mean, it's almost the entirety of the day until we get to the tip off of this game. Imagine being a player in this game. Imagine being a member of the New York Knicks in this game.

No, I cannot.

You've waited as long as you've waited for this. You were in the Eastern Conference finals last year. You were rolling through the playoffs. You had the time off in between the last series. And now you turn around and have just as much time. But it's the NBA finals. What did you say? I think they played four games in like...

23 days.

23 days, yeah.

And now you have...

Now you have till almost 9 o'clock tonight.

Yeah. NBA finals. What did you say? They played four games in like... 23 days. 23 days, yeah. And now you have...

Now you have till almost 9 o'clock tonight. Yeah, it's amazing. Well, you got to figure they're going to sleep now, right? Although for them, it's a 740 tip, right? Isn't it an hour earlier in San Antonio? The time difference, yeah. Yeah, okay. So 740 tip. I'm sure they're going to sleep till.
