Chapter 2: How did the Chicago Bulls perform against the Cleveland Cavaliers?
Have you seen her?
I can't wait to take this to the next family reunion. I also want to remind the audience that we have a phenomenal, phenomenal cast here that it's hard to put into words sometimes, but our staff, Ms. Rebecca and Mr. Dylan, has come up with, what is it called? A sub stack page for the kids, man. Come on, man. If you got this, subscribe to the kids sub stack. What's the sub stack, sis?
Alleyoopshow.com.
Come on, man. You got to get updated.
Now who they want? Who? Who? Now who they want? Jew. Jew. Now who they want? T. Crick.
I don't know who they want. Yes, sir. Man, let's get right into it, man. The New York Knicks have attained a championship in God's Green 2025. How do you feel about it?
I don't want to besmirch. But I will say they were down pretty much the whole game. And Wemby, who looked like the best player on the planet just a few days ago, we found out, looked like there was something wrong with him, Juju. And then I was like, oh. He's mourning his grandma. She just passed away today. And everybody deals with grief differently.
Sometimes you play better, and sometimes you go into shooketh mode. And clearly, Wemby was shooketh because he didn't look like himself. He was playing less minutes, and I don't think it was the injury. So to that, I say congratulations to the Knicks for capitalizing. But I'm not giving you all the credit in the world like I would have if Wemby was going berserk.
Yeah, how do you feel about them deciding not to hang the banner up in Madison Square Garden?

Chapter 3: What led to the New York Knicks winning the NBA Cup?
He had he had all the Vecna's inside of him. But the DeAndre Hunter, though, has just really not been the same since that moment either. It's almost like they've been inextricably linked in a bad way. Now they're saying DeAndre Hunter needs to come off the bench. Do we have a highlight here? Did he have a good moment that maybe is a non sequitur? Seems like it is.
Damn, bro.
What are these jerseys?
Right. Ass on ass jerseys.
What are these jerseys? Oh, my God. I thought these were heat jerseys.
Right. You right, bro. Because I was like, man, why is you besmirching DeAndre Hunter that one time I tried to get him props?
Yeah.

Chapter 4: How did Wemby’s personal issues affect his performance?
He's been bad.
The proof has been in the damn banana pudding.
If this is the highlight of DeAndre Hunter having a monster jam over Jalen, I was like, I don't even remember this dunk.
Bruh, he don't remember this dunk.
It was a regular ass dunk. Moving on.
It was so regular. But, yeah, bro, the boys got the dog. You feel me? The Cleveland Cavaliers, though, to kind of stay there, bro, y'all boys need to get something together, man. Y'all might need to put a package together for my boy Don, Donovan Mitchell, because dare I say, y'all, this ain't looking good. You can't be losing to the boys, bro. I don't care. Last year, y'all was number one.
I don't know if it's Jared Allen. I don't know if it's your boy DeAndre Hunter. I don't know if it's Dee Jizzle, Darius Garland. Somebody got to get shipped up out of Cleveland, bro. What you think?
Things all went down when they left. They traded George Niang, Bang Bang Niang, traded Karis Levert, and got rid of Ty Jerome. Those three guys in the rotation have been more meaningful than, say, a DeAndre Hunter, than, say, a Lonzo Ball. These moves, although I understood them when they made them, Juju, I just don't think it's really worked out.
But more so, more so, you've got injuries abound and ones that I do not see happening. I do not see them getting fixed. Evan Mobley, out for a minute. Jared Allen, out for a minute. Darius Garland, back, but still not really back. Donovan Mitchell, we were applauding him for taking less shots, being less of a ball hog in a good way. and putting the team first.

Chapter 5: Why did the Knicks decide not to hang a championship banner?
Damn. And that's that on that. Kyrie Irving has made headlines yesterday after this is a real sentence after getting into it with a robot.
Did you see this after viciously assaulting?
There we go. That's more likely.
And sending said robot, who was not even doing anything to provoke Kyrie.
Right.
He sent him to the upside down.
Absolutely. Roll it, Miss Rebecca. What is he even thinking? Right. Basically, the robot's showing off for the Mavericks. Yeah, look what I can do. Oh, hey, Kyrie, you're my favorite player.
Oh,
J5. Oh, no, J5 down. Bruh, what in the hell is wrong with my dog, Kyrie, bruh?
