Welcome to part of my take presented by draft Kings. The crown is yours. Today is Monday, June 15th and the New York Knicks are NBA champions. Congrats. Memes, Zach, they were in San Antonio on Saturday night. We're going to talk about all of that. The New York Knicks, though, complete and incredible, incredible run. They lost three total games in these playoffs. Two of them by one point to the Atlanta Hawks, one by four points to San Antonio Spurs. Jalen Brunson, the NBA finals MVP, much deserved a team that was just gritty, awesome, big moment after big moment down all the time, heart of a champion. And they, I mean, incredible performance like they just, that was a, that was a thrilling five game series, but also kind of never a doubt because the nicks were just better and tougher in the big moments and the spurs didn't have that. Yeah, I mean, the crazy part about this series was the comebacks and every single game that the next one, this was from the ESPN analytics. So the spurs had a 91% chance of winning game one midway through the third quarter. They're up 13 points. They had a 72% chance of winning game two up two points with a minute left in the fourth. They had a 99.6% chance of winning game four up 20 points with 933 left in the fourth and then a 95.4% chance of winning game five up 10 points with 7.54 left in the fourth. And the weird thing was in this last game when the mix went down, they were down 15 early. It really did feel like the mix had them where they wanted them. Yeah, I know it's it's cliche to say that. But as I was watching, I was like, Oh, this is, this is playing out perfectly for the next and it's a testament just how gritty they are, well well coach they are. They've got a special team and Goddamn if that wasn't the best offensive rebound I've ever seen Mitchell Robinson on that free throw. Just manhandling Wimby. Wimby's going to come back next year. Hey, Wimby, don't go to a monastery. Maybe this obviously just go hang out like a golden and Carl put on like 60 pounds because Mitchell Robinson just ate him up.

He ran out of gas and just wanted it more. I want to talk about the spurs, but we got to give the next all their flowers and talk to you guys about what Saturday night was like in San Antonio. But Jalen Brunson in the closeout game to score almost half of the points for the New New York Knicks. He had 45 that one possession where he broke Wembee down and got to the rim. And it just that was the difference. I know that the nicks as a team like I think cat broke the plus minus record in a playoff run. OG, you know, the tip in, McHale bridges, Josh Hart never seen a rebound. He didn't think you could get the whole team was incredible. But Jalen Brunson, as like the closer guy who when when she gets tough, you just know he's going to be able to get to the basket. You know, he's going to be able to make plays complete ice in his vein. He's a winner. He won a high school championship. He won a college championship. He won an NBA title. He's a winner through and through. And yeah, he deserves it. And listen, I was definitely in the camp of like having a small guard. It's going to be tough to win a title. The next deserve all the credit in terms of the roster construction, putting just incredible wings around Jalen Brunson and being like, hey, we can play team defense then when Jalen Brunson needs to be the clutch, the, the most clutch player, the best player in the world in the fourth quarter. He can do it. I think he broke the record for most fourth quarter points in a playoff run. I think it was, I think he's one AI is two and that finals run and then MJ is three. And people are saying in terms of road closeout games this is like 98 Jordan like like having you know when Pippin's hurt and like having to score more than half of your team's points and having to basically be your entire offense he was that good he deserves all the credit in the world it's an incredible story story. And he's, I, I, I have this question

because I haven't seen anyone talk about this

or ask this question.

Is he the best nick of all time?

Oh, yeah, I don't think anyone's broken that. I don't think anyone's actually asked that question. So let us be the first to ask it. I think he's the best, he's the best little nick of all time. The tired wired debate is,

tired is Jalen Brunson the best nick of all time,

wired is Jalen Brunson the best nick of all time Wired is jail and Brunson the best free agent of all time. I would actually take it once that for I'd say is jail and Brunson the best New Yorker of all time Did you see did you see the the meme that stew finder sent me this weekend? He think he sent it to everyone. I don't know if you guys know this. I tweeted it out. And then I saw you tweeted it out right after me because it was so funny that he just sent us

the uh with the the crop meme with the volume. The volume up. It's the New York City's six families. Gambino, Genevise, Bonanno, Lucezzi, Colombo and Brunzini. Yeah. That's it. He's the six family in New York. I think you know all the statue talk is going on right now.

We're jumping to the statue. Do we want the Jalen Brunson statue? Do we want the entire starting five statue? Who do we want on the statue? My idea was New York should just make a giant Jalen Brunson, Jersey. Like I'm talking 200 feet. You're talking about number 11 and put it on the statue of Liberty.

Mm.

I liked that.

Hang it from her.

I like that.

And then replace the torch with the basketball.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I liked that a lot.

It's just crazy.

I mean, you were saying it with the analytics stuff, but it's as simple as the next had
