You can throw a perfect pitch if somebody gets on something.

Football, you're relying on so many other things that are happening.

And this isn't like, hey, basketball is the best because of all these reasons.

But to me, basketball, if you are truly that great, your greatness is going to show up.

And a lot of that is your mentality.

And that's what I always loved about Chuck is that Chuck would go, I'm now deciding to just impact this game with Will alone.

And to bring it full circle, that's kind of what I love the most about Wim and Yama.

is that he has shown there are times where he gets so mad at the opponent that he's almost willing to make a bad decision to show you that he's angry and that he's so forceful and in those moments throughout the playoffs like that's the stuff i get as excited about any block or three that he makes

That's not a compliment.

You must be out of your mind, Theodore.

Look, I think coming into the season, I knew the Knicks would probably have a better shot at getting to the finals because this was supposed to be a gap year for the Celtics.

They weren't supposed to have the second-best record.

I knew Detroit would be good.

Indiana was going to be down because of the Halliburton injury.

So I would say New York was closer to getting to the finals.

No one had the Spurs on their bingo card playing this well all season long, having the second-best record, only two games behind OKC, who they beat in the conference finals and getting to the NBA finals.

So, no, I think the Knicks were closer, but the Spurs, no.

For a rookie to perform like this on the biggest stage and Dylan Harper coming off the bench.

Look, there was only a handful of rookies even playing in the postseason this year and Dylan Harper has been at the head of the class.

and for him to show the type of poise that he has shown uh... let's talk and think about this this first team the second youngest team to be in the finals behind i believe bill walton's portland trailblazers way back in the day so uh... for them guys and the trust that we gotta talk about the young head coach too miss johnson it's just not the players it's the coaching staff as well so
