This is the Michael K Show podcast.

I got to get more K.

Listen live weekdays at one on the ESPN New York app and your smart speaker.

And a good afternoon, everybody.

This is indeed the Michael K Show.

We thank you for joining us on this Tuesday.

It's June 9th, 2026.

Me and you for two.

Those are the rules of engagement.

And you know the password to become a part of the fastest two hours in sports talk radio. 1-800-9-19-37-6. 1-800-9-19-1-3-7-6. No, we're not going to start with the Yankees actually winning an extra inning game on the road. We're not going to do that because this is going to be about the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs and the Knicks lost the game at the Garden yesterday

and we have ourselves a series. Now, the narrative that's out there on social media and by a lot

of the pundits as well is that the Knicks got job by the officials.

So when you look at the amount of free throws in the second half that the Spurs had to what the Nicks had,

you would actually think that that was the case.

I don't think that was the case.

I think the Nicks got outplayed.

And when I watched that game yesterday, I felt as if I was watching a Nick game from in the middle of the season.

The things that haunted them when they didn't play as well as they should have happened yesterday.

They didn't play with a Christmas.

They watched and sat and admired Jalen Brunson dribbling the basketball.

And if you ever want to see an empty calorie 32 points, that's exactly what Jalen Brunson gave you yesterday.

And there's not a knock on Jailen Brunson.
