Oddly enough, I would start with Victor Weminyama, who is so much better than I think any of us believe he'd be this quickly.
That this team, that he got his team to be winners this quickly is fairly remarkable.
And that he burnt out almost all of his goodwill this quickly is pretty remarkable.
Fascinating to watch.
I think the Knicks season is tremendous, and it is a testament to teamwork and continuity.
And also a big shout out to Mike Brown, a guy that a lot of people question as the hire, a guy that a lot of people question.
And I'm talking about people in New York.
I'm not talking about the national people.
The people who are now carrying him on their shoulders.
I remember the whispers.

Oh, why are we hiring this guy?
Oh, he couldn't win with LeBron.
Zaz stole my point that I've been making for years, which is, hey, we let players grow.

The idea that Mike Brown is the same guy in 2026 as he was in 2007 is patently ridiculous.
