Um, just to go back to the idea of maybe Wemby and Spurs losing this finals, maybe getting swept.
True, obviously, which is in play.
It would just be wild that we would have like Wemby in theory could be added to a list of superstar players, Hall of Fame players that made it to the first finals fairly early and then got swept.
I mean, let's throw him in there.
First finals swept 2002, and then LeBron James, everybody brings up, swept in his first finals.
Wemby could be added to that fantastic list.
But let me give you a fun subplot here, too.
The Knicks, Mikael Bridges, Jalen Brunson, and Josh Hart are trying to become just the fifth set of teammates to win an NCAA title together, like they did at Villanova, and then an NBA championship on the same squad with the Knicks.
And they would be the first, from what I can tell, first trio to...
to do it there's a lot of pairs um the last pair to do it is a very funny pair i don't know if you can guess it i'll give you i'll go go ahead ncaa title and nba title yeah it's very very difficult what year or what era um well i guess the two mid-2000s i guess is when this is i think uh i'll give you the team i'll give you the the squads kentucky and miami heat
Antoine Walker and somebody.
And then it's a lot more like way back in the day, like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the leader, Havlicek is the leader, and then Bill Russell and Casey Jones are the two best probably combos.
But anyway, Nick's pretty cool storyline.
These guys are champions in Villanova.
And like they all find their way to the same team in New York and they do it and bring a title like that's pretty awesome.
So that's another subplot there.
