All the talk about the Knicks this week...seems like everyone forgot about their 2002 championship over the Kings

[The r/BillSimmons Podcast @rBillSimmonsPod]

.@awfulannouncing: “Who is embraced more by Boston sports fans, Bill Simmons or Dave Portnoy?”

Michael Felger: “Portnoy’s on top right now. I’ve always thought Bill Simmons plays the Boston sports fan more than he is a Boston sports fan. Portnoy is more of a Boston guy to me”

Thanks @BrandonContes & @awfulannouncing for the conversation. Long form on my career path, Little Mo, the CBS ➡️ SXM move, and A’s fans: the last 20 minutes are all about your pain. https://t.co/9ZjiuPypTD

I just need to know if Dolan had a private conversation with Isiah Thomas before joining the exit meeting with Leon Rose and Tom Thibodeau

[Brandon Contes @BrandonContes]

Imagine telling a show that was immensely successful from start to finish for 23 years, that they should have done anything differently

[Tony Reali @TonyReali]

I appreciate @BrandonContes and the @awfulannouncing podcast for letting me talk this out. Brandon asked a number of good Qs that had me thinking about 23 years worth of history in ways I hadn’t before!

[Alan Hahn @alanhahn]

How do you replace a legend and how the hell did I get even get here?

I spoke with @awfulannouncing and @BrandonContes about that and more on their podcast.
