The Knicks are the city's team.

Apologies to Brooklyn, it's just true.

And it's been on fire.

I mean, I was there all this week for games three and four, staying in a hotel the whole time.

The city is absolutely on fire.

It cannot be understated how crazy this is.

And like, yes, there have been some misbehaving fans, deplorable stuff like that happens in every city.

Don't let that represent like what's going on in the West Village and Williamsburg and all these places where there are watch parties.

It's an absolutely incredible moment.

in New York City.

My wife and I are sitting here, like, lamenting that we no longer live there and that we can't go outside.

Like, I just want to go outside.

I'm not even a Knicks fan.

I actually grew up hating the Knicks, ironically.

I just want to go outside and see something.

And in the burbs, you go outside and you see fucking squirrels and deer running around and there's no one honking their cars.

There's nothing.

It's just incredible.

And, like...

you can't say enough about Brunson.
