It's electric on the streets of New York.

I was on a bus today and wearing my Knicks hat and an old lady got on the bus and high-fived me in celebration.

So people are just being connected throughout this city in ways that I haven't seen for the 25 years I've been living here.

It's truly marvellous.

Yeah, it's a meshing of the new generation of Knicks fans who probably haven't been as tortured.

You know, another blend of people that have moved to New York over the last five years that have got behind the last two years of the Knicks.

And then the meshing with the older generation that have seen the last 20 years that has been the most painful period.

years of being a New York Knicks, you know, any sporting fan, it's just been horrendous.

And then the real old school who just can't believe it, you know, the people from the 80s and 90s that are in shock.

So you've got this incredible blend of many versions of fans in this.

And at the end of the day, it's, you know, the wildest city to live in, regardless of sport, all coming together as sport, the vehicle of, you know, being in a city with a successful team.

And it's just...

created this keg of explosive energy.

That's how I'd put it down, dude.

It's just been incredible.

If you've got old women high-fiving you on a bus, I don't think you can get a better, sweeter victory lap than that.

I'm worried about Ben.

That's it.

I'll leave it at that.

I'm in constant communication with him, which is great.
