I don't think it's possible to have more fun watching a sporting event.

And I've watched a lot.

We've all watched a lot of sports.

Yes.

And this is the thing that I think radicalized people.

Like, I will say, like, of course, during the playoffs, the Knicks had, you know, the greatest point differential in the history of, you know, the playoffs and all that stuff.

But it was that moment in particular when I just sort of thought to myself, there are a lot of people here

who don't otherwise care at all about sports, and now they've gotten addicted.

So much of being a New Yorker is a think piece about what qualifies.

And again, both of us born and raised here.

Not a question for us.

Not a question.

But...

The joy, the best part of both the city and the Knicks bandwagon is watching it fill with people who make it better because they weren't here before.

Yes.

And now they are.

And the party is greater because of their enthusiasm.

It is.

And I think there is, like, there's this tendency in sports, and I get it, to apply purity tests.

Can you identify Ronaldo Bachman in a lineup?
