I always want to be honest with you, Tiki.

0:01.7

I want to be honest with the audience.

0:03.0

I want to be honest with Tommy, with Sean, with everybody.

0:06.1

I have said to Tommy Lugower that Jason Kidd taking the Knicks job would not bother me,

0:12.8

despite him being an all-time legendary net,

0:15.3

and that I wouldn't get bothered until the Knicks are on the precipice of winning a championship with Jason Kidd,

0:21.8

and then, yes, it would kill me. It would just conquer my soul as a sports fan to see Jason

0:26.4

Kid coach the Knicks to an NBA title. And that's how I felt. That's what I believe. Like,

0:31.3

But for now, as a net fan, let me tell you, I don't want this to happen. This is a nightmare scenario.

1:21.1

I cannot have Jason Kidd coaching the New York Knicks. I cannot live in a world in which Coach Kidd is holding up the

1:28.4

Larry O'Brien trophy on a float down the streets of New York City. Can't have it happen,

1:35.1
