On today's part of my take, presented by DraftKings, we've got a twofer for the people. We've got our good friend, former NBA, I'm going to say superstar, Spencer Hawes, who has been to a bunch of NBA Finals games, including Game 4 at MSG. He is childhood friends with Mitch Johnson. He is in studio to talk about the NBA Finals, where he sees it's going, what happened in the Spurs. We also have... Illinois head coach Brett Bielema, good friend of the show, in studio as well, talking some football. Great interview with him. Also an incredible pig farming story from Coach Bielema. We're going to talk NBA Finals, maybe the greatest comeback. Actually, no, the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. One of the best games any of us have ever watched.
We have Stanley Cup Final Game 5, the pivotal Game 5 that we're going to talk about. We have Fyre Fest and a special Mount Rushmore warm-up with Hank's dad. What a show. Packed show. And it's all brought to you by our friends at Reese's. They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a Reese's. Take... How the whole world is vying for the cup right now. Is it because it's called a cup just like a Reese's peanut butter cup? Coincidence? I think not. So be a champ and score Reese's today because everything happens for Reese's. Reese's is the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Everything happens for Reese's. Get yours at Hersheyland.com slash Reese's. Reese's are the absolute best.
The marshmallow cup, the Oreo cup, the animal crackers. We have them in the Reese's lounge. Oh, my God. They perfected all candy, all snacks. That's what Reese's does.

Hey. We'll be right back.
Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours today is Friday, June 12th. And the New York Knicks are one single game away from being NBA champions after the greatest comeback in NBA finals history. Boys, what a game. What a night. Simply incredible. The $5,000 get in price was actually a bargain. If you went to that game and you're a Knicks fan. because what you got was probably the best night of your life. Yeah. Actually, no, that was definitely the best night of your life. Sports will not get any better than that than if you paid five grand to go to Madison Square Garden last night. The return on that investment, it was incredible. As bad as that first half was, and I don't think that many people left MSG.
I think there's probably like a couple hundred people that might have left early. I don't know if anyone did. But by and large, I think for the most part, the crowd stayed there. Yeah. What a moment that was. And you felt it building up in the second half, like just slowly, just chipping away at that lead, making it bites, taking one bite at a time away from the Spurs. And it ended with, we can have the debate if the Spurs choked it or if the Knicks won it. I don't know why it can't be both. It was an incredible thing to watch. Yeah. Even on television. It was one of those. I don't find myself particularly rooting for the Knicks. I don't find myself particularly rooting for the Spurs. I want memes and Zach to be happy.
But just watching that last night was like, this fucks. This is why we watch sports.
