This is what he knows.
And so he was the perfect player that the Knicks acquired at the time.
We weren't sure, is this the perfect player that they just acquired?
Because you didn't really know.
It wasn't his team yet when he left Dallas.
Now it was his team.
And you're like, okay, let's see what this looks like.
And man, this is what it looks like.
And the guys, by the way, shoots 46% or up, I think every single year.
So he's a smaller guard that's way more efficient than most guys his size have ever been in this league.
No doubt about it.
I mean, they're talking, listen, I mean, there's a lot of people now in New York and you see it all the time online or conversations or podcasts, whatever the topic comes up, greatest Knicks of all time.
He's played himself in that conversation.
to the point where if he wins this, he's able to win this, and he puts up the kind of typical Jalen Brunson numbers in an NBA final, and this guy averages like 30 or something in an NBA finals, and they upset San Antonio or Oklahoma City, which I don't mean to be as big of an upset now as it would have been, but I'm saying these are both teams that won north of 60, and he's able to pull that off, and also doesn't have home court advantage in doing that, and he goes in and he shoots 50% from the field and averages 30, and they win a title?
I don't even know.
With 53 years of baggage?
That's what I'm saying.
Where do you shoot historically if that happens?
It's been 53 years, 27 since they just got to the finals.
So he's a special player, man.
