It's wonderful. I just feel so happy for the fans. You know, I've been a fan since I was about seven years old. I've been a Knick broadcaster for more than half my life. So I've been around Knick fans forever. They are just, they're so loyal to see them rewarded. Because even in the bad years, they never went away. They're stuck by, and for them to have a night like this is wonderful. I heard a story where you said you had a fan reach out to you one time and say, We know they're bad. Tell us about the players to look forward to. Well, since Leon Rose has taken over this organization and putting these pieces together, there's been a lot of players to look forward to. When you think about the way this team has come together over the past few years, I mean, have you ever seen a team built the way these Knicks were built before? Well, that's what makes it so special because so many people took a part in it. I mean, Leon changed everything. And all, I mean, all five starters he acquired. He's the one that hired Mike Brown. It's just, it's a tremendous accomplishment because it's so hard to do. Winning a championship is so hard. And they fought back They had you know he acquired not just talent He acquired players with real heart and grit and ones that would do anything to win All they cared about was winning. And that's, I think, why New York has fallen in love with the team because of the way they play for each other and all that matters to them is winning. And to that point, they didn't give up. They played 48 minutes of basketball every win. They trailed by double digits. But when you look at the closeout game and what Jalen Brunson did tonight, You've seen a lot of basketball over the years. How can you put into words what he did tonight in the closeout game, 45 points here? He deserves to be in a conversation of some of the greatest playoff performers of all time. What he's done in the clutch, what he's done since he arrived here, he's changed everything. I call him tonight on the air. Excuse me, I'm losing my voice. He's the gift that keeps on giving. Rightfully so. And tonight, Knicks fans get to celebrate that gift. The parade will be on Thursday. What do you think we're going to see from New York for that parade and this team, these players? I think we'll see millions of people with big smiles on their faces. I love it. I know you've got plenty more to do. Thank you so much for a few minutes. Mike Breen, the voice of the New York Knicks.
