Chapter 2: How did Hakeem Jeffries react to the Knicks' recent victory?
Like, he promises to win more. Bernard King would score on everybody, but you never thought they actually had a championship chance.
Yeah, I think that's about right. But I think if Jalen Brunson can actually deliver a championship to the Knicks, which I think they have a good shot at, they clearly, I think, are our favorites to win the East. I mean, Detroit may be too young. It'll be an epic battle to see us play them. But if he delivers a championship, he may be one of the most beloved players
players in New York modern sports history because we all know the city has a love affair with the Knicks. There's nothing better in the city than when the Knicks are good and on the run.
We'll get to the real world in a second, but I heard you have some thoughts on Notre Dame not getting in and Miami getting in instead?
Yeah, well, my thing is I understand the choice. that was made because of the head-to-head dynamics. But I think the ACC messed up, y'all, because who could really understand? A mathematician can't understand that tiebreaker for the second seed. It was crazy. And how Duke winds up
in the ACC championship seemed to me, as a casual observer, to set in motion a chain of events that ultimately jammed Notre Dame. Because if you just had a simple tiebreaker for the second entry into the ACC championship, the highest ranked team, then it would have been Miami. And then either one of two things would have happened.
Either Virginia would have won, and I was rooting for Virginia, but Virginia would have won. and they would have represented the ACC and we wouldn't have had a second school necessarily make it in from, I guess it's called the group of five. Or Miami would have won and you wouldn't have had a second school from the group of five.
Miami would have still made it and Notre Dame would have been able to make it. I think something needs to be done as it relates to how the ACC is making the determination with the monstrous number of teams that it has. So this is going to happen again, this traffic jam that occurred. Just let the ACC change their rules so that you have the best two teams, the highest-ranked two teams in America.
championship well you'll be happy to know they've heard the criticism and they changed it and their solution is some teams play eight conference games another group plays nine and we'll see what happens yeah i don't know how that's gonna work out
