But to this day, I'm so overwhelmed by Kevin making that offer.

And it wasn't just some gratuitous offer he

He really wanted to do it.

He was pushing me to do it.

So I get to call games for them in the conference finals and now obviously the finals.

Uh, watching it in my hotel room in trying to think of which, which city I was in.

I think it was Minnesota.

I had Western conference finals somewhere.

Right.

Um, but I was by myself in the hotel.

Usually I like to, I take notes while I'm watching the game.

And, you know, it's the rollercoaster ride.

I'm thinking, here's one of the things I thought that, and I would have done this shot.

I would have, on the air, been going wild, what a shot.

And how many Knick fans would have been so mad at me for screaming, Halliburton does it, he does the clutch, because he was on that incredible clutch roll throughout that entire postseason.

So that's one of the things I thought about, that Knick fans may have never forgiven me if I would have been screaming for Halliburton on that one.

No, you make sure you want to focus on being straight down the middle on it.

And because I watched Marv growing up and worked for NBC during those 90s, and he called so many big Nick games on the playoffs against Chicago, against Indiana.
