00:00Earl, what are you feeling today?
00:01Knicks are back in the NBA Finals.
00:04Well, I think it's, you know, first of all, it's something that we really anticipated.
00:10You know, they were playing so well all year long.
00:13I think we'd be disappointed if they weren't in the Finals.
00:17And the way they've gone through the playoffs, obviously, it's been, you know, at record-breaking pace that, you know,
00:25I think we all anticipated them winning.
00:28It's the whole thing.
00:29So, what about this Knicks team reminds you of 1973?
00:34I don't know.
00:35I think, you know, the most important thing about any team is the camaraderie they have among themselves.
00:40It seems as though this team has a lot of camaraderie.
00:45They pull for each other.
00:47And, you know, that's the beginning of a great team.
00:51What's your prediction for the series?
00:53Well, like I said, I don't have a prediction per se,
00:56but I think the Knicks and Six sounds good because of the Brian.
01:02What have the past couple of days been like, the energy here,
01:05and what about it brings you back to your playing days, especially that 73 year?
01:09Well, it's a lot different from back in those days because, you know, the adulation is different.
01:16There's way more people that are into it with all the social media stuff and things of that nature.
01:21But seeing everybody on the street with Knicks gear on, it's like unbelievable.
01:26I've seen Knicks gear that I've never seen.
01:30And I'm thinking people are making them up.
01:33But it's all good because it's all about the same thing.
01:36Let's go Knicks.
01:38What's one of the best things people have been coming up and telling you the past few days?
01:42Oh, they're waiting for it.
01:45Waiting for the Mecca to come.
01:47It's going to be, you know, the type of thing that it's going to just be.
01:54I don't know.
01:55I can't say.
01:57You know, the energy that is put in this town, you know, is just unbelievable.
02:02And I think that, you know, to win the championship, it's going to mean so much to so many people.
02:09What would it mean to you personally to see this happen?
02:11It's kind of bittersweet because, you know, as a last-day championship team, you know, we're always going to be
02:19remembered.
02:19You know, but at this point, you just want them to win because you just feel so much more.
02:25But not only how well the team is playing and that they deserve it, but because the city needs to
02:31have it as well.
02:32And what's your message to the roster?
02:35Go Knicks.
02:37Go, New York.
02:38Go, New York.
02:39Go.
