Becky Hammon: Knicks don't have a dude... you got to have a 1A dude
Perkins: They DO have that dude
Becky: Who?
Perkins: Jalen Brunson
Becky: He too small… If your best player is small, you're not winning... Steph Curry is the only dude
On this day in 1999, Def Jam rolled out one of my favorite marketing plays of all time:
They released the DMX album on 12/21 & the Jay-Z album on 12/28 to assure they’d have the last #1 album of the 1900s and the first #1 album of the 2000s.
Both went #1 with ease. RIP DMX.
Cool note from Bucs -- Anthony Nelson is first NFL player to get a sack, forced fumble and pick-six in a first start of the season since Steelers' Alex Highsmith in Sept. 2023.
