Hello, welcome to the Hoop Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we are doing on late Sunday evening, joining us from New York York City where he's just back from

Madison Square Garden where it was a thrilling game with the Thunder and Nix is

Tim Bonteps. Hello everybody. And joining us from Los Angeles, our resident Los Angeles specialist of all things, TV, radio,

whatever else we need him to do, George Sedana.

What's up guys?

So I'm here in the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. I had a weekend with the Spurs, Nix and Warriors, but Spurs, a couple of Spurs games, two very highly entertaining games, which we'll talk about first, but Bon Thames, I have two, I didn't say we talk about first, we'll talk about later, Bon Thames I have two absolutely jaw dropping stats from this Thunder at Nix game that you have a feeling I know one of them, but I don't know the second one.

Okay, I'm not even going to make go through the

guessing so this was a high intensity game she'll just Alexander made a game winner.

Jay Lynn Brunson had 30 points.

People said stuff after the game.

But what I want to talk about is Josh Giddy having his third consecutive triple double at Madison Square Garden,

the first time is his first three games in the Madison Square Garden.

He's that triple double in all three.

And this kicked off a crazy statistical trove

from our guys at Sports and Information at ESPN, including Stats Williams.

Ready for this one?

Josh Giddy is the second visiting player with three straight triple doubles at Madison Square Garden since actually ever.

The other one Larry Bird. No way. Back in 1985.

Well, I would have guessed.

Well, I mean that, why are you saying no way?

I mean, that's not like it's a surprise.

No, I, no way because I thought it would have been more recent than that.
