I'm sorry but this is not a good look for an NBA Finals opening. So not serious. You're supposed to elevate the moment and the experience, not cheapen it.
The Knicks might be the most likable NBA team in my lifetime. Classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of their parts. And their parts are good!
I believe it was as follows:
“What you have to respect about the Knicks, you have to put them away every single possession.
You can’t leave anything to effing chance with that team. Ever.
That’s what they do.
What they have is the will to win.”
