the one upside to them switching networks is that now we get to see the guys in the finals
Inside The NBA at the Finals is pretty dope.
The best thing the knicks did was trade Randall for Kat
After losing my mom recently , hearing Towns talk about his mom really got me choked up. Beautifully said KAT!
11:20 What a profound answer from KAT. Shoutout to his mom watching over him.
Analytically, the Cavs just stole Game 1 from the Spurs.
Lost my mom 18 years ago. What KAT said really moved me
Everybody’s better than Jalen Brunson…until it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson 💙🧡
KAT a real one.
Props to OG, he hit two threes to setup the fourth quarter.
This Finals made me an NBA fan again
KAT really grown
These Nova guys are 2-time NCAA Champs. They know how to win.
Inside the NBA crew working the finals?!?! Let’s gooooo 🔥🔥🔥
This is surreal as a Knicks fan, I’m 51 and never thought I would see the Knicks this close to winning a championship.
King of New York Jalen Brunson
Hearing BAAAANG!!! from Mike Breen was much needed. Now it feels like the finals
11:00 was not expecting this answer from Kat but loved that he shared that.
KAT is a smooth operator!
12 in a row for the Knicks. This Knicks team is very special, the best Knicks team I've ever seen in my life. They might be a team of destiny!
