Trump Goes Ocean’s Eleven on Iran’s Oil & Knicks Put Off Winning to the Last Second | Chris Evert & Martina Navratilova
6/12/202638 min
Desi Lydic and all of New York celebrate the Knicks' historic comeback to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals, while Trump prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday in style with an algae-filled reflecting pool, a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and a slew of medical specialists. The president also pats himself on the back for an Iran deal that hasn't happened yet and his sneaky not-secret plan to steal one day's worth of oil from Iran. In a new edition of Sports War, Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng tackle the biggest stories in the world of sports: the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks, and the New York Fking Knicks! While Kosta and Ronny can agree that the Knicks rule, there's still plenty to argue about, like the best way to honor OG Anunoby after his game-winning basket in Game 4, whether courtside celebrities at MSG should be allowed to price out New York City's hardworking billionaires, and whether Knicks pride is worth having blue-and-orange-bagel sts for the rest of your life. Tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova sit down with Desi Lydic to discuss their new Netflix documentary, “Chris & Martina: The Final Set.” They reflect on the fame, sacrifices, and loneliness they both experienced as teenagers while also helping put women’s tennis on the map, and how their fierce rivalry of nearly 20 years evolved into deep friendship and helping each other through their respective cancer diagnoses. Martina also opens up about leaving her family behind for four years after defecting from Czechoslovakia, and Chris explains why she found herself lying on a hotel floor in a depression after winning Wimbledon. Plus, Desi invites tennis superfan Michael Kosta to join the conversation.
