It's a really nice energy to be around.

And it's really great, speaking just as a reporter, it's really cool to be able to see them be such natural, raw versions of themselves and be so comfortable in doing so without any fear of judgment or anything like that.

Because that feeling is something that...

I can't really relate to.

You must just feel completely and utterly invincible and on top of the world.

And that's how everybody acts when they get there and is absolutely positively how they should act.

I'll tell you what, a lot of my answers have nothing to do with anything that happened on the court.

Great.

A lot of my answers were stuff that happened after, just like the really human moments.

Like I witnessed, I think probably the most Carl Anthony Towns thing that I've ever seen.

Towns is like this incredibly kind of sweet guy, like notoriously, unbelievably sweet, famously sweet guy, right?

And as he's walking off the court, there's this tunnel that goes to the back in San Antonio and the tunnel is completely clogged up.

It's just, there are a gazillion media members waiting for guys to leave the court after the championship ceremony.

And there are a gazillion coaches and players who are trying to make their way through.

And somehow there are fans who have gotten there and are clogging it up.

And all of these Knicks fans in San

San Antonio stayed late to, to come, you know, cheer on their guys.

And the guys are finally after the ceremony starting to come off the court and go to the locker room.

And they are like having to squeeze through to go to the locker room.

It's like one tiny little lane for them to get through.
