Now as a non-hockeyman, I have to ask this question. I've been told the Toronto Maple Leafs are kind of like the Knicks of hockey where it's like they won some championships a long time ago and it's a huge city that lives on that history but hasn't had any success recently and they look down on everyone else kind of like, not success, I mean talking about championship success.

No, no, no, no. Let me correct you there. You saw Sam. The Knick fan, the real Knick fans, the ones that grew up in the 90s, are all waiting for something bad to happen. Even as it gets great, it's like, oh my God, this is awesome. They're pretending like they're not. They're all worried, oh my God, here's how it goes. Here's how our heart breaks. So last night, they're up 3-1. So what?

We lost the game. We're coming back to the Garden, whatever. No, secretly like, Jesus, this is what happens. We blow a 3-1 lead when Tatum is out. You know, in some way, some of them are upset that Tatum got hurt. Because kind of with Tatum out there, if you win, you lose, because they're like, well, the Celtics are a great team. But now with no Tatum, it's like, oh, no, this is how we blow it?

Well, yeah, I will testify to this as a two-time WNBA champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Go on. That, yes, the heavy is the head that wears the crown, Dan. And when you're the favorite, when you're on top, you don't have the benefit of the doubt. It's like when we talk about NFL preseason, right? If you play well in the NFL preseason, what do people say? Yeah, it's a preseason.

It doesn't matter. But if you play poorly... Oh, my God. You're awful, right? There's no upside. It's all downside. And that's a place where Knick fans know. They've lived there for years and years where there's no upside and everything's a downside. With regard to the Minnesota Timberwolves, it is because they're immature and they don't execute now. They've been better this year.

Sam, this opens the door. I want to ask you this question because yesterday a ruling came down that Spike Lee has lost his number one fandom. I don't remember making that rule. Well, you weren't here. The alternate judge was here to ask. Well, no. It's open. It's open now. Because he skipped the Knicks playoff game to go to the Met Gala.

And Steve Martin was a prop commentator. No, but lean on the specifics of it. The specifics are like, hey, man, if you're going to make that choice, it sounds like you're not that big of a fan. I'm just saying, like, the Met Gala get dressed up. Met Gala's every year.
