Summary
Colin Cowherd celebrates the Knicks going up 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals and explains why Jalen Brunson deserves credit for laying the foundation for this championship opportunity.
He analyzes the criticisms that reigning back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander “flops” too much. He cites recent data that suggests he does but points out his success still can’t be denied.
Plus, NBA Champion Antonio Daniels joins the show to tell Colin why LeBron James should seriously consider leaving the Lakers if he wants to win another championship.
