If they had somehow pulled something out that, you know, that, but Brunson's a different cat, a different animal altogether.

He is such an important element of that cohesive team that the Knicks have built.

And yet when there's six minutes left in the game and the Knicks could be down a dozen points, you never, never, never think for a second that they don't have a chance to win as long as that dude has the ball in his hands.

You had him one spot ahead of Frazier.

I did.

I, I think they should at least be tied until we get a little more.

Sure.

And, and, and let's, I'll, I'm, I'm all ears.

I'll listen to everybody, all the smart folks that will be doing this greatest Knicks of all time.

Um, when that was, you know, that was nice.

That's a, you know, I understand the gesture.
