We've got a pair of game five first round playoff games for you tonight on ESPN, starting with the Raptors and Cavaliers at 730 Eastern, followed by the Rockets and the Lakers. Coverage begins with NBA Tiff-Hawth at 630, featuring Ernie, Charles, Kenny, and Shaq. All right, back on first take. Time for a quick take last night in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks took a 3-2 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks with a 29-point win, while the Sixers beat the Celtics by 16 to extend their series to a sixth game.

Michael Wilbon, who are you more confident in to close out their series in six games?

Nix or Celtics?

I can't believe I'm saying this.

The Knicks.

I mean, we've seen what happened again, end of game three, when they're sort of just figuring some things out. All of game four, all of game five. And I just think Atlanta, okay, I mean, this is not, the pressure is not on Atlanta. The pressure is on the Knicks, but they're responding to it. And when you get Brunson and towns and the Knicks seem to have figured it out, I don't

think Atlanta has any way of stopping them. So I can't believe I'm saying this, Shea, because

last night, I'm looking at the Celtics on television while I'm in the garden dog. I'm looking

at them. And I'm thinking, what am I doing? I'm sitting in Madison Square Garden for a big game,

and my eyes cannot leave the Celtics and Sixers with the Celtics thrown in a clunker. So I'm going to have that going seven. I feel fairly certain the Knicks are going to close up. Yeah, they've had two good games in a row if it feels like they're on their way now. All right, let's go to another story that's trending as of this morning. Our David Beneman posted an article to ESPN.com in which LeBron James addressed the comparisons often made between him and one and only Michael Jordan. And he said this, quote, there are a lot of things that MJ did better than I do. And I think there are some things that I do better than him. That's just how the game goes. There's a lot of things that I can say in particular. You already know how this conversation is going to be misinterpreted by people, man. And then if Benjamin asked, has it been a burden as an adult, that ambition? Because now everybody brings it up. You can't escape the comparison to which LeBron responded by saying, quote, no. I think it's a very tiring conversation. It's barbershop talk. You can look at both of us and say that you love both of us without trying to sh on the other person. And usually it's the sh on me. But I know for sure that I've done my part in this journey. And more than anything, I hope, and I don't know, but I hope I made him

proud at least wearing that number 23, end quote. Okay. So when LeBron speaks on the matter,

then we have to have the discussion here, Stephen A. What are your thoughts on what LeBron had to say

about himself and Michael Jordan? I came across and I think that it's relatively disappointing.

And I want Mike Wilbon and Doggy, two historians, people that I look up to, I want to say

this directly in front of them and I'm open to the discussion.

Everything that LeBron James said was right on point when he dissected the difference between

his game, Michael Jordan, how he looked at things, how he approaches the game. He looked

to pass first. Michael Jordan looked to shoot first, et cetera, et cetera.
