Steve Nash is one of his proteges.

Really like Think about what d.

Antoni did here in New York City, where he returns.

Carmelo wasn't the right fit for D'Antoni and vice versa.

But even taking a guy like Jeremy Lin, who was a modest talent, he was a good player, but not a great one.

But Jeremy Lin bought in and Rand Antoni System.

They want almost every game.

You don't even need a great player, just a good one who run his system.

They want all the time.

And now he's actually just assistant to Steve Nash, who has a great relationship with K D and loves Kyrie, the beneficiary of all this more than anyone's gonna be Kyrie of Kyrie buys in if Kyrie has if they have get buy in from Kyrie because D'Antoni not that he is the head coach Nashes.

But when D.

Antoni was the head coach of of reluctant superstars stars who said this system doesn't work for me, he did not do well, Carmelo Kobe when he had buy in from his superstar, Nash Harden, he did amazingly well, even by in just from a guy but who?

A nice player who would run a system.

Jeremy Lin.

He did really well and he's not the head coach.

Even Steve Nash is your head coach.

You got a long time assistant with the Spurs and Antoni so veteran presence, you know, in the coaching world on the bench.

For Steve, National rookie coach in New York City with a comeback and K d.

C K d was the we already knew how good Cade Iwas.

We're not talking about his level of excellence.

We wanted to know what a championship does is tell us that you're great.

But Katie tried to reverse engineer his greatness.

I'm going to go to a team that won 73 games.

It's a It's a tribute to LeBron KD looked at, LeBron said.

I need more.

The Warriors looked at LeBron and said, We need more.

Remember, LeBron had just let it come back against those Warriors in a Game seven at Oracle against a 73 win.

Warriors to win the game toe win the championship.

So K D and the Warriors joined forces and made just had, like an unfair advantage.

That doesn't like I know K d is arguably the good ist player in the world.

But was he the greatest?

That doesn't prove greatness.

That doesn't prove what you joined.

A super team that can't lose almost couldn't lose without you.

Of course you had your idea.

Paul and Paul George to that team.

They have smoked everyone, let alone k d.

But now that K D is hurt coming back from an Achilles, we don't know if he'll ever be the same now that he's not in a situation like in Golden State.

Because Kyrie and Laverne, those guys, um, really nice team.

But there are other really nice teams in the league.

If K D wins a championship now, he will have proved his greatness.

In a way he could have never proved it in Golden State.

And then he will enter the talks for Riel like Jordan and then after Jordan, who we talking about LeBron Karim Bird and Magic O.

K d.

Is going to be right there if he doesn't in Brooklyn.

And, meantime, Kyrie, who's been a chemistry killer, a chemistry killer in Boston and Brooklyn, but is maybe the most skillful player who ever lived like you.

Take that level of talent.

Who ever had this kind of skill?

Kobe.

One or two other guys who has the greatest handles of all time, maybe Kyrie.

And considering the handles houses range, Does he shoot?

Well, Yeah, he shoots the lights out and houses athletic ability.

Top notch.

Fast twitch is.

And how does he finish in the paint under the rim?

Maybe better than anyone who ever lived.

He's got all the talent.

The world has lacked the wisdom so far in his career in terms of when to deploy.

The talent has lacked the leadership ability to make a group better than the sum of its parts.

But do you know what Steve Nash and Mike D'Antoni are going to do with Kyrie?

Irving?

This dude's gonna average 30 points and 10 assists a game.

Oh, the Nets are exciting.

And, by the way, the Knicks are a garbage joke.

Laughing stock.

Congratulations.

Jim Dolan, who had the gall to escort Charles Oakley out of Madison Square Garden.

Ah, fan who has a sign sell the team gets escorted out of the garden.

You can't say you can't say Sell the team.

What What?

What's wrong with that?

because it hurts your it punctured your pierced, your paper thin skin.

It hurt your feelings.

Jim Dolan thinks he's a genius.

He's bored on third base.

Thought he had a triple.

Thinks he's a genius because, oh, look, he keeps making money in New York because there was no option in New York.

There's no other basketball team in New York.

The Nets were in the NBA when they were in Long Island, and then they were in Jersey.

He ran unopposed, and New York's a basketball crazed town.

When people say, What kind of town is New York City, it ain't.

It's baseball because the Yankees with the greatest franchise in the history of time.

So it's because of that A baseball town.

Football is king in America, but in New York City, do you understand?

In the mid eighties, with Patrick Ewing at center, not a championship team, just a powerful playoff team, the Knicks were charging $1500 for courtside seats in the mid eighties.

New York is a basketball town number one and by far a basketball town, but it ain't a next town any more.

Hallelujah.

Not a next town anymore.

It's a Brooklyn Nets town.

The Nets have not only taken over, they squashed the Knicks like a bug on a windshield under their feet.

No one cares about the Knicks.

Dolan, your garbage laughing stock franchise because of you.
