We can blame Steph for that forever.

But I was listening to you talk about Otani, Dan, and I do think that there have been times in the past where some of us would even get in trouble by suggesting, hey, do you have to be American to be the face of the sport?

Does there have to be some sort of connection between

And, you know, I don't know.

I mean, Otani's so guarded that you have to kind of play the game, I think, a little bit as a personality to just want to expand everyone's interest in you.

And as dynamic and ridiculous as Otani's impact is on this game, I wonder if Wimbinyama has... Like, we're only year three into this, but if he were to win this thing, is there, like, an invitation into more of his personality that makes people feel like, okay, this is somebody that I'm...

I know better, and I'm enjoying the basketball part of it, but I also enjoy who he is.

It's so early, nobody hates him yet.

Well, the Knicks are underdogs because they're not the Spurs.

And as incredible as this run is, to win this many games in a row with that point differential, I mean, they just churned through the entire East.

But I would tell you that watching the East in the playoffs, every team became the worst version of themselves.

Whether it was Detroit almost losing to an 8 seed, and then Detroit advancing, and you go, my God, their offense really is this bad.

You look at Cleveland, who took seven games to get through Toronto.

And then you go, oh, okay, here we go again.

It's an offense that I don't trust.

Players I don't necessarily trust.

So credit to the Knicks for rolling through all of them.

But their path was not even close to what it would take to get through OKC.

As you said that, I go, I wonder where he's going here with the Spurs.

But you're right.
