Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. Hello, and welcome back to Locked-on NBA Daily. I'm Wes Goldberg. That's Matt Moore and Hayes. We have a jam-packed show for you today. Just hours after the start of the NBA Finals, we have our biggest takeaways from game one, and then we're going to get to make it take it. And Adam Silver's comments about why he felt the need to stop tanking, and we'll get to all that here in a minute. But let's start with the finals. The Knicks take game won. A sloppy game from both sides. But Jalen Brunson delivered scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter. Here's more from Locked on Knicks. But Brunson, dude, him like the response he had, and remember, he missed this, he started like

one for eight, one for seven.

The response he had after that where he just made Carter Bryant, his punching bag, was

like watching like an effing Captain America movie.

This dude is 6-8, 240, built like LeBron, basically, and Brunson just, like, looked at him and sees a pork chop.

He sees a pork.

I'm a vegan.

I don't talk like that, man.

He sees a pork chop on the grill, and three times in a row, he just says, screw you.

He misses the first time, goes flying up, puts it back in, and you're just like, all right,

man, like, like, there's like, you're going to find a way. And then from there, bullies Bryant, a double comes, reverse like drop step behind both them for a righty layup. And the next time, right by him, lefty lay, and I am, I'm screaming. My dad is mad at me, um, because I'm staying with him right now. And that was, that was amazing.

So guys, all this talk about when My dad is mad at me because I'm staying with him right now. And that was amazing.

So guys, all this talk about Wembe coming into the series and not as much talk about Jalen Brunson.

He's averaging 27 points on 48% shooting during these playoff, six assists.

He's a plus 15 and a half per game during the postseason. Matt, was

Jalen Brunson overlooked going into the NBA finals? That's an interesting question. Maybe a little bit.

I am for finals MVP, so I can't really say that because I knew how important he is to the Knicks.

Don't react to like the individual words I say before you hear the whole thing.
