Dug explains the challenge of writing lyrics around key players, big plays, stats, and unforgettable moments while still making the songs work musically. He also reflects on his lifelong Knicks fandom, his confidence in this playoff team, the thrill of witnessing a stunning comeback, and what song might be worthy of a long awaited Knicks championship.
