Itโs never talked about much these days, but the reason why Breen was initially hired for Knicks radio was the result of a nasty on-air fallout between Jim Karvellas & Walt Frazier during the โ92 Playoffs, which I remembered well.
Long story short, when the Knicks beat Detroit in โ92, Karvellas gave the Knicks โsignificantโ credit (they won but not their best series).
The on-air exchange, which I heard live, was awkward-as it basically ended up being a pretty heated affair because Clyde wasnโt willing to give them credit for a series that he thought shouldโve been more easily won.
So Breen replaced someone with about 30 years of NBA experience by this point, but the rest is history!

Take a bow, @jalenbrunson1!
Jalen Brunson is the FIRST non-first-round pick in NBA history to score 500+ points in back-to-back postseasons (530 in '25, 539 in '26). ๐ซก
To put his historic production into perspective: Every other second-round or undrafted player in NBA history has combined for exactly TWO 500+ point playoff runs ever (Nikola Jokiฤ in '23 and Khris Middleton in '21).
@jalenbrunson1 did it twice in 24 months. One of the greatest draft steals to ever live. ๐ฅ
The Knicks outscored their opponents by 175 points on the road this postseason.
+175.
Yes, that means that thier average margin of victory over all ten road games they played was 17.5 PPG.
17.5 points per game.
AVERAGE margin of victory.
That is, BY FAR, the highest point differential in road games in a single postseason in NBA history. In fact, no other team had ever been north of plus-100.
The previous high-water mark for a Finals champion was held by the 2001 Lakers at +93.
A multi-part Knicks documentary is in the works at A24 & HBO.
The series will follow the Knicks' entire history up to their first NBA championship in 53 years.
Directed by Ben Stiller.
