I can definitively tell you 1,000% that tonight, when the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs in the finals of the NBA Cup, there is no requirement for the Knicks to put up a banner.

0:16.2

Wow.

0:17.0

I was under the assumption that there was.

0:19.7

I asked somebody who would know, and they are impeccable in terms.

0:24.8

Basically, I asked the league.

0:26.9

And the league has said, unless they're going to change their mind, it is up to the team.

0:32.4

So when the Lakers put that banner up, that was up to them.

0:36.2

Now, was it strongly encouraged? Because I think sometimes there are word games being played here. Like, yes, we're not requiring it, but are we going to make a phone call and say, hey, it would really help us and it would be really good for the league for you to do this?

1:25.3

It's awful.

I don't have a strong take as far as it would be a disgrace if they hung the banner,

1:31.7

but I personally would not hang it.

1:34.1

I would not.

1:35.0

I would not.

1:40.8

Would you make fun of Tommy if the Knicks hung a banner?
