[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Hoop Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we are doing late on Friday night after the Knicks got a one-point win to go up 2-0 in the NBA finals. We're gonna make this introduction quick. Tim Bontemps, Iman Shumpert, once a Nick, always a Nick, Band McMahon, and his first appearance, he waited until the Knicks were up 2-0 in the finals- [laughs] ... Mr. Stephen A. Smith.
