Thinking Basketball · #381: Thoughts on the Knicks title & the Spurs run · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

I don't know.

That's why I said I don't know if I have a strong opinion on this.

I mean, so far, let's put it this way.

if you look past the gray area where we're struggling to say what that is, and if the Knicks fit it, we know what a top heavy team looks like.

It's driven by an MVP or two, and then a bunch of role players.

And we know what the truest ensemble teams look like because they have four or five players where you're struggling to clearly say either one of two things.

You're struggling to say this player is the best player on the team, clearly, or the most important team on the team, clearly, or the,

this player is a top five player or something like that.

I think once you start picking up... The 2017 Warriors do not qualify as an ensemble team because they have so many all-NBA players on the team.

So somewhere in between there, there's a gray area, but I think that's what we mean when we talk about ensemble.

Okay.

I mean, I think then the bench component, in addition to what you said, right?

And the depth and Landry Schammett shooting 91% and both.

I think Schammett, Alvarado, the Mitchell Robinson...

I mean, to me, most great championship level teams will get their sixth or seventh player in a rotation and that allows you to play a different configuration or style.

So I don't know if that's like a really salient thing.

But since we're in a fuzzy space, I mean, I think I think.

Because they lack that like top five MVP candidate, I think this will probably over time be looked at as an ensemble type cast.

But again, I mean, I'm so excited for 2027.

I have a trivia question related to one more stat related to what you just said.
