"I can't tell exactly what the lesson is."
It finally happened. Dan's beloved New York Knicks won the NBA Finals in 5 games over the San Antonio Spurs. There are 1,000,000 potential takeaways on Jalen Brunson, Victor Wembanyama, clutch play, choking, and more, but most importantly, Tony wants to make sure we celebrate him and how right he was about the "inherently evil" Wemby.

Otto Lopez, all-star shortstop leading the league in hitting. 14 for 25, that's a 560 batting average in late and close situations. Max Meyer is 7 and 0. He hasn't lost a game thus far this season.
