How did the Knicks finally win the championship after 53 years?
What's popping, real ones? Logan Murdoch here. Howard Beck in a few. Ben Stiller in a few few. One of the all-time real ones. The New York Knicks just pulled off the incredible.
What were the standout performances in the NBA Finals?
I have no words. This was just such a great season from them. Me and Howard get into, you know, what we saw throughout the series and the final game. And then my buddy Ben Stiller comes to tell us what this all means for the city of New York. You know we're not fucking around on real ones. You know how we do. I'm not, without any further ado, Cliff Victoria. Play the theme music. What's poppin'? Real ones. Logan Murdoch here in my beautiful, beautiful, cozy home at Howard motherfucking Beck. There, live from the NBA Finals after the Knicks. Probably biggest win in organization history. Um... I don't really have any words for this. The first championship since 1973. Howard Beck is on site right now. Just what is the emotions right now in San Antonio as you're going?
I had a whole thing that I was going to go into and all this will equally, but like just you're there. What is going on? How do you feel? What is this? What was this moment like on the ground?
I don't even know how to describe this moment, Logan, because this is the 24th NBA Finals I've covered, so therefore the 24th championship ceremony that I've been present for, but I have never seen one where the team clinched on the road and then celebrated with, I don't know, probably 8,000, 10,000, I don't know how many Knicks fans were in the building, but this place did not empty out. The Spurs fans mostly left, the Knicks fans stayed, and the building still felt damn full. Absolutely incredible. An incredible clinch anyway. It was everything that the Knicks have exemplified throughout this run. Just they're never out. Double digit deficits mean nothing. Jalen Brunson can apparently score anytime he wants to.
And they turned whatever they're calling this building now, the Frost something center used to be the AT&T Center.
What does Jalen Brunson's MVP win signify for the Knicks?
They turned it into like Madison Square Garden, Texas edition.
That barn in the middle of San Antonio, just in the country.
It's not even the middle of San Antonio. Outskirts of San Antonio.
Somewhere in a 210.
They're building a new one. They can't abandon this place soon enough. But I think the Knicks absolutely... owned the night, obviously owned this series, winning it in five, winning their first championship in 53 years. And I think one of the other things that was just really cool in watching this unfold and close out, Patrick Ewing was here. I got a chance to chat with him a little bit ago before we started recording. Alan Houston is here. Guys who were like these 90s icons who got close, who were in the finals and couldn't seal the deal, but they're still attached to the organization. And I felt like it was almost like their emotions were just as strong as what you saw from Jalen Brunson and OG Ananobi and Carl Anthony Towns.
How did the Spurs' youth impact their performance in the Finals?
And there's just this, you know, generations of Knicks who are attached to this.
What was the atmosphere like during the Knicks' championship celebration?
who kind of feel like some, some ownership of, of, of their own, I think too.
What does Ben Stiller think about the Knicks' victory?
So that was really neat too. But yeah, mostly my, my, my main impression walking out of here is going to be a holy crap. Like not only do they pull this off, but they pulled this off as like a road team that doesn't just dominate the court, but dominated the whole damn building.
