Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Tony.
Chapter 2: What happened during Tony's power outage?
I lost power at my house last night, and I'm pretty sure that the power company doesn't really care. But the show must go on, so we're doing the show from Michael's house. We have a packed show for you today. House Minority Leader and Binghamton alum Hakeem Jeffries, Brian Windhorst, and Barry Zvilluga will all join us. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
When I play with people better than I am, you might think I play a little bit better, but then I have terrible shots that take me out of holes. I had two triples yesterday, so it wasn't like I was really good. I had two triples. You know, I tripled 11 and 14 on the back. But I play better. So now Michael and I are playing this Saturday in the father-son tournament. Usually by the third hole.
Circle number three. We're not talking. Tony, three putts.
Put you down for five. The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
Here is the haiku from Shared Wistful Memories, or it's the silent treatment. It's 50-50. Already checking pit positions. We've got a million things to talk about today, but we're going to start with the minority leader of the United States House of Representatives, the most important Binghamton grad.
Now, Flo is the most famous, but Hakeem Jeffries is the most important, and he's a New Yorker, and he represents... a seat in one of the five boroughs of New York City. And he's a Knicks fan. The only question to start with is, were you there? Did you go to the game?
Well, good morning. Great to be back with you. I was not there. We were in Washington, D.C. We had votes that day. It was also the congressional baseball game that day as well, the annual game for charity. But I did watch the game, of course, with several other
new york members of congress and we were in agony uh... throughout the first half and then an ecstasy as the next made that historic run to come back and ultimately win tell the truth i mean i grew up as a knicks fan i begged the game because there's no way they could possibly win that game did you really think they could win that game you know it's interesting we thought it was possible i certainly thought it was possible in part because you know

Chapter 3: What insights does Hakeem Jeffries share about the Knicks' comeback?
His team froze and he froze, right? Didn't you think that? What are you doing?
Yeah, it was extraordinary to watch. You were seeing sort of the Knicks come together as men who had been through a lot of adversity. And the Spurs, you saw some of that youth momentum take shape in terms of how they were playing. Particularly as the crowd got back into it, the Knicks started to press them more defensively, and then the threes weren't falling.
So it was the combination of these things building up to a crescendo of sort of the incredible final parts of the run during the back half of the fourth quarter.
How many games do you get to go to a year, Knick games at the Garden?
You know, I usually try to get to at least one or two. This year, I didn't get to any games at the Garden, but I did get to see the Knicks play. against the Wizards. I think it was February, and I'm not sure that's actually attending an NBA game, Tony.
No, they were tanking. They were cheating. They were within the rules, and now they've changed the rules. What is your biggest memory? You're much younger than I am. What's your biggest memory of being in Madison Square Garden? It doesn't have to be the Knicks if it's something else. What's your biggest memory?
Yeah, you know, it's interesting. My biggest memory of being in Madison Square Garden, and perhaps it was the first time I was in Madison Square Garden, was when St. John's played Georgetown against, you know, in... I think it was 1984, so I was 14 years old at the time. My dad somehow managed to get tickets way up in the rafters, but nonetheless, we were in the garden. And it was when St.
John's had been number one for most of the season. When they weren't number one, Georgetown was number one. It was Chris Mullen's final year as a senior. Of course, it was the Patrick Ewing-led John Thompson coached. Georgetown Hoyas, it was probably at least from St. John's basketball view at that point as the game of the century. As you may recall, St.
John's ultimately, unfortunately, got blown out, and then we went to the Final Four and lost. But that was really when I became a big-time St. John's fan. It was that Chris Mullen, Walter Berry, Mark Jackson, Willie Glass team, and it was a fun team to watch play. Chris Mullen, of course, was a Brooklyn kid. I think he went to Severian High School. And it was fun.
