00:00123 to 108 in game two.
00:03They ended up getting a two-to-one series lead in this.
00:06You know what?
00:07After the first game, we'll get to Wem and Yamba here in a second,
00:10but are they just the better team, Cornbread?
00:13Are they just the better team to San Antonio?
00:16You know what?
00:17It's hard to say right now.
00:20San Antonio, I don't think, has the experience yet.
00:24You think about Castle and some of those guys they have over there.
00:28Those guys haven't seen it.
00:29You're talking about a team that just won the championship.
00:32Yeah, you understand what has to be done.
00:35There was no panic.
00:37They were down 15-0 in that game in San Antonio yesterday
00:41and came back and won it by 15.
00:44So that tells you their mindset and who they have as a player, their coaching.
00:50I mean, you think about the MVP of the league this year, SGA, and what he's done.
00:57Here's a guy who the Clippers had and sent him away to another team.
01:04The Clippers could have had him.
01:06So you never know what you have until that thing actually flourishes.
01:11And for him, it was a good time for him to come to OKC.
01:16Cornbread, talk about that experience and how important that is when you get to a finals
01:21and you run through the tape.
01:22You know, it's one thing.
01:23I tell people this all the time.
01:25It's one thing to go and take the board for being a lawyer and taking the bar exam.
01:30It's another thing passing it.
01:31You know, and here, you know, this is kind of what it is.
01:34When you get that championship, how much experience by winning it do you think really plays a factor
01:41in experience when you come back and you're trying to win two in a row?
01:44Well, you know what has to be done.
01:46You know you're not going to panic.
01:47You're going to get out.
01:49You're going to play well.
01:50You have situations you've been in before that you're trying to win.
01:54And you ultimately, at the end of the day, you maybe get it done.
01:59You know, one of the questions I have to ask you, because with your broadcast, your podcast,
02:06do you think the Knicks can win the championship?
02:11No.
02:12I don't.
02:13I'm watching the two.
02:14Hey, I'm watching.
02:16He put me on the spot.
02:17I'm watching the two best teams.
02:20He put me on the spot.
02:22Corbett just put Big Sills on the spot here.
02:25No, I don't.
02:26I think that, again, the two best teams are playing in the West right now.
02:30I just wanted to see if you could be honest or not.
02:33That was it.
02:34You look right in the camera and go, no, I don't think.
02:37You would ask me that, and I asked you, but I just think the two best teams right now are
02:42in the West.
02:45And San Antonio comes to New York and plays.
02:48I don't see the Knicks beating them or OKC.
02:52I don't see the Knicks beating them.
02:54Remember, the first two games are going to be out West if the Knicks win, I mean, if the Knicks
03:01advance, because the record isn't as good as San Antonio or OKC.
03:05So it would be very hard for them to be down two games to none, although I love the enthusiasm
03:13of the Knicks fans.
03:14I love that, what they have outside.
03:16Matter of fact, I hated that.
03:17It was a couple years ago when the Celtics got beat by the Knicks after the game.
03:23They came out.
03:24The Knicks fans, we were riding off in a bus.
03:27They stopped our bus, and they shook our bus to the point where I thought it was going to tip
03:32over.
03:33So that's how crazed the Knicks fans are right now.
03:38What do you make of Wem and Yamba?
03:407'5", usually those guys are so uncoordinated.
03:43This guy plays like a point guard out there at 7'5".
03:47I mean, you see a little Olajuwon, and you see a little Akeem in the guy's skill set.
03:52What do you make of him?
03:54He's 22 years old, too, Cornbread.
03:57Dude, the word they say right now, the alien, and that's what he is.
04:02He is something we've never seen.
04:04Three guys, in my opinion, have changed the game.
04:07Wilt Chamberlain changed the game.
04:09Another one is Steph Curry, and now Wem and Yamba is going to change the game again because he's so
04:15long.
04:15He's so after.
04:16Some of the plays he's able to catch the basketball is one lob he caught left-handed over the rim,
04:22dunked it all in one motion.
04:24It looked like something out of a video game.
04:28I mean, that 40-20 you had, those were video numbers.
04:33But now can they duplicate that by playing a team that has a championship pedigree?
04:39What we saw the other day was the difference in that game was an experienced team against a team that
04:46doesn't really have the experience, and some of the guys you look at who've been hurt right now, I think
04:51that's what kind of, you know, defines who they might be and if they can win or lose or not.
