Ian Lara

If you're not aware of where Mike's irrationally hostile and rabid fury about the Heat comes from, it's not merely what's happening with the Heat.

It's also that the Celtics and Knicks are good.

And when the Knicks are good, it makes for loud Latin people.

And while I usually like loud Latin people, loud Latin Knicks fans make it hard.

How do we have so many of these guys?

Ian Lada is a comedian here.

You can catch his hour special, the new one, Material Boy, on YouTube, and you can get tickets and available dates at ianladalive.com.

Look at him smirking and smiling.

Is this an underrepresented base that you're going for?

The Knicks fan base, just because we got him and Sam Morrow.

Dominican Knicks guys.

You got Morrow, you got this guy.

What's going on here?

Yeah, well, I like funny people and energetic people, and I like people who are excited about their sports teams.

When is the last time, Ian, and thank you for joining us, that you loved the Knicks team this way?

Thank you for having me.

I appreciate it.

And honestly, the last few years have been good.

I feel like we've advanced a little bit further every year, so I'm thinking this is the year.

And we just added Alvarado, and I don't know if you saw the game he had yesterday, but...
