Have a great day. Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I talk to composer Mark Shaman. It's about the hang. It's the pleasure of hanging out with the people that you're with.
You know, Rob and I was always a great hang. And director Morgan Neville. Film school teaches you all the wrong things about making documentary. What do you want to say? Documentary is all about your ear. What do you hear?

Well, it's beautiful out there, sunny and 75, almost a little chilly in the shade. Now, let's get a read on the inside of your car. Cars get hot fast and can be deadly. Never leave a child in a car.
A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
Welcome in Watch, Write, and Think Right episode 468. This episode of Watch, Write, and Think Right is presented to you as always by our friends at Boost Mobile. And for the eighth time in the last eight years, we have a new episode. NBA champion, the underdog going into the series, the almost no one believed in them as championship contenders going into the playoffs. And going into the playoffs, I was on that list of non-believers as well, even though I came around far quicker than most. Our 2026 NBA champions are the New York Knicks. I was lucky enough to be in the building in San Antonio for that game.
How did Jalen Brunson's performance define the finals?
More on that in a moment. Demanze, great to see you. How are you this afternoon? Not this morning. Sorry for the late start today, but had a lot going on. How are you?
Good to see you, Pops. I'm great. I'm great. Bittersweet team that needed a win. They won. Happy.
Let me ask you a question. Was there any piece of you that by the end of the series found yourself rooting for the Knicks?
I can't say that I was ever rooting against the Knicks throughout the series.
What challenges did the Spurs face in the finals?
Like, I wanted Wimby to win, you know, and all that stuff. But yes, by the end of the series and when it was over, I thought that the right team won. I like that team. I like how everybody likes each other. It seems like a family situation over there. Yes, I'm really happy.
Well, it's literally... Some of it is literal family with Jalen and Rick Brunson. Obviously, the Villanova guys are college and then pro family. They all seem to love Cat and OG, even though they're not part of the Villanova crew. It was the right winner. And there is a lot we are going to get into today. But almost nothing... has irritated me more than the narrative that the Spurs dominated the majority of this series. Guys,
How has the narrative around the Spurs shifted after the series?
If there's a horse that in every race gets out to a huge lead and in every race runs out of steam with five furlongs to go and gets caught before the wire, that horse did not dominate the race. It ran a bad race. And the idea that the San Antonio Spurs dominated this series because they were awesome in the first quarter and then gassed by the fourth quarter every single game save one is ridiculous.
