Hello and welcome to another edition of the Nix Film School pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio and getting right to it on today's show.

The Knicks flying sky high at the moment.

Winners of five straight and 11 and 2 since the OGNan and Obie trade. They welcome in all the way from South Beach, losers of five straight and struggling to score 100 points unless they're getting blown out at home.

And yet, I'm still terrified of them and I'm not looking forward to this game whatsoever.

Before the next play of the Miami Heat, you know, what we have to do.

We have to welcome our good friend from the Miami Heat Beat.

Always cute, but forever a hater, Mr. Giancarlo Navas.

Gee, how you doing, man?

I'm doing good.

Listen, I'm really excited that Jalen Brunson is starting in the All-Star game.

I think that's great news.

Wow.

How did you guys feel when you guys heard the news?

What was the reaction in New York when you got the news that he was

going to start next to Tyrese Halliborne? You know, I felt about as good as, uh, uh, an opponent against

the Miami Heat and Pick and Roll at the moment. I just, I was just, I knew that this was going to be

success, no matter why. You guys are angry, bro. Twitter, Twitter's on fire. I saw somebody say you guys were too mad at Candace Parker to vote. Yes. So that's what happened. Yes. Not that like the way the national, it's actually Candace Parker's fault. Why? Because national conversation around Jalen Brunsson. That he's not a star, you know?

Jailen Brunz has died as important or as famous as Dame Miller, which is why, look, the whole thing is stupid. I don't care. He's going to be an all-star. We're going to look back in 10 years and not think, you know, Jailen Brunson, four-time all-time, all-star starter. it's going to be however many all-stars he made.

So regardless, we'll havetime all-star starter. It's going to be however many all-stars he made.

So regardless, we'll have an all-star conversation a little later because I'm curious

if you think any of your players are all-stars because the Miami Heat are struggling.
