And it just, it all starts with that guy.

Yeah, yeah.

It's called Under the Bright Lights, the revival of the New York Knicks.

I have been working on it for, I've been saying a year and a half, but it's really almost two years, really since September of 2024.

And when I started it, it was just going to be the story of the revival of the Knicks, of this organization that was in the cellar for 20 years and then found its way back to relevance with the leadership of Leon Rose and Tom Thibodeau and

the rise of Jalen Brunson and all of that kind of stuff.

And then they trade for Carl Anthony Towns.

And then they have a run to the Eastern Conference Finals.

And then they fire Tibbs and they bring in Mike Brown and they go on this run this year.

And we're like, the book is going to be due in October no matter what.

And they go on this run.

And now it is the story of how the New York Knicks

returned to Becoming Champions for the first time in 53 years.

And sometimes things just get lucky for you when you're telling a story.

And so now I have the privilege of getting to tell the story of how this organization returned to Becoming Champions for the first time in 53 years.

And it's a project I've been working on for, like I said, since September of 2024.

And I got the rest of the summer to write the ending of it so it will properly include everything from...

the playoff run and the title run and everything else and we'll,

have a lot of details on who these guys are and a gazillion different anecdotes and a gazillion different behind the scenes stories.

And I want it to be funny.
