As we sit here 40 hours after your basketball season ended, I remember you telling us,

it's always been Nixon 7, it is Nixon 7, and you could take it to the bank.

Did your bank get robbed, Tommy?

No, but I heard from a few people that their checks bounced, which I apologize for.

That's always embarrassing.

I thought we had more money in the checking account than we did.

It's disappointing.

Whenever you get this close, I'm not going to sugarcoat it from that aspect.

It's disappointing when you get to the final four teams and Eastern Conference finals

and you can begin to dream about a parade.

You could taste the championship.

When you fall just a little short, it's disappointing.

That being said, the Knicks future is very, very bright.

They are not going anywhere.

They have progressed now.

They have taken another step into the Eastern Conference finals.

So there's no reason not to believe that they aren't

going to take another step next year. In fact, you like to write things down, don't you? Evan.

I love to write things down, yes. Right here on June 1st at 228. It's June 2nd, but close.

All right, start over. Right here on June 2nd at 228, you can write this one down.

Yeah.

The Knicks are winning the championship next year. It is Knicks in 26. We will bang the drum.
