What has he done differently than so many of the past, uh, heads of state, state, so to speak, here with the Knicks that's allowed it to come together in this way?

They built a, a, an amazing team.

They deserve a ton of credit.

Um, OG d- made the right decision to stay in New York.

I, I always tell the guys that New York has tons of extra benefits.

It's a great city to be in.

It'll lead to things after his career.

What, what are they doing? What's happening this off-season? What are your thoughts on where they should go?

So what I'm saying is, is that I expect us to continue to learn and watch about how Jayson is, and this very much to be a process.

Yeah, I think that's right.

By the same token, he doesn't have to be, you know, Tatum of last year.

But Jaylen has ascended to being a first-team All-NBA type scorer or just straight-up first NBA, first-team All-NBA, and Jaylen is surveying the court.

Some of that's the injury, some of it's psychology, some of it's that he's been able to watch the team for so long.

And if he ends up in more of a triple-double role and less of a I'm-gonna-attack-every-play role, I think that that may be a blessing in disguise.

It may le- uh, lead to less your-turn/my-turn kind of stuff that he and Jaylen can do.

Do you, do you believe that this team has that, that build out of the roster that you need to win three playoff series?

So do you like that? Do you think about that? Is that not on your radar? I mean, you, you clearly are young for this field.

It's on my radar so far as I'm glad I am where I am now, because I can take a breath, look across the, the land, and try to figure out what I wanna do next.

And so if I was still climbing the mountain to get to the top into my 50s and 60s, I wouldn't, I think, have the same view that I have now.

And so I'm appreciative of that, 'cause it's gonna give me...

To, to me, it's given me a moment to pause and reflect.

It's given me a moment to think about, "What do I wanna do next?"

How did you zero in on the key to getting that case dismissed?

That case was always about how a live bullet got on the set.
