You know what I mean?

Because the status quo is like, okay, well, a young team shouldn't be able to make it this far.

A young team, you have to go through the process, which history says that's what teams do.

Boston had to do it when they lost in the Eastern Conference Finals a couple times.

The Lakers had to do it.

The Bulls had to do it.

Detroit had to do it.

Whatever it is.

But

In today's world, with the way the game is and the youth in the game, this team was put together and they were able to gel together.

A young coach with Miss Johnson, they all grew and they figured things out collectively.

And they beat the top dog.

So there still are going to be some questions.

With New York, it's, yeah, New York is good, but... New York is good, but can Cat...

You continue to play and be facilitator.

Can Jalen, with the ball in his hands, be able to make plays?

Can Josh Hart?

There's all these things.

But the beauty of it is both teams got here in their own unique way.

New York played their best basketball at the end of the year, Dan.
