Summary

The Knicks are forcing everyone to take them seriously, even longtime skeptics like Reggie Miller. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Miller suggesting the Knicks could win it all, while breaking down why New York may still enter the Finals as an underdog despite its dominant run. The conversation dives into how the Knicks have earned national respect, the turning point after a brutal loss to Atlanta, Jalen Brunson’s evolving role, and the challenge of potentially facing a powerhouse Oklahoma City team. Plus, the guys mix in Yankees trade talk and debate what it would take to move a young ace for a superstar bat.
