I thought you was gonna say Devin and Shakur.

Okay.

Boots and Bud is about to start, ding, ding, round one, on this network.

The Super Bowl's about to kick off on that network.

What are you watching live? Ooh.

What are you recording? I'm Boots and Bud.

Yeah

I thought you gonna say David and Shakur.

Okay.

Boots and Bud is about to start, ding, ding, round one on this network.

The Super Bowl's about to kick off on that network.

What are you watching live- Ooh ... what are you recording? I'm Boots and Bud.

You're watching Boots and Bud live.

Yeah.

Yes.

town.

The reason people mistakenly think it's a baseball town is because, you know, the number one franchise has 27 championships.

Of course, they're going to support that team, but it is fundamentally because there's no space anywhere.

There's a basketball hoop on every corner.

It is, it is at its core basketball.

a Knicks town.

When I was a kid, you could get the best tickets you wanted for like a hundred bucks to a Yankees or a Giants game.

I took it as a sign of hope for the Lakers that there is a combination that will allow us to go deep into the playoffs next year.

Yeah

... who's doing the, an unbelievable job on him.

So now you have Gobert, who's also a great defensive player, on Jokic.

And it's like, okay, Jokic, do it though.

It's two possessions.

Can you make up two possessions in two minutes? We've seen this from super great players throughout history.

And Rich and I play a game nowadays on the show where it's like th- do you, does this player need to win or does he love the game? So for exa- or love to play.

Yeah

I watched that fight 100,000 times.

Hagler.

You said Sugar Ray won the, no, Leonard he's talking about.

Sugar Ray won the fight.

That's what the ref said.

Hagler always wanted to make more than Sugar Ray because Sugar Ray, he turns pro.

He gets, you know, a million, whatever it is, $40,000.

Now you can make fights.

Yeah.

He cannot get himself a high-percentage shot on every possession.

As a result, in order to be really effective, he must play the right way, and so he does.

He makes the right read.

He, he, he, he does the hard stuff if he needs to, right? He will draw contact and get the and one, not looking for the foul, but because he knows if he goes hard, he is likely to go- to draw con- he will sh- hit the out- outside shot.

He will defend the way he's supposed to.

He will do all those things.

Smart.

(laughs) Right.

I do insist on the following though.

They win more than anyone else, and they certainly win more World Series than the Red Sox and the Dodgers.

They're two traditional rivals in the American National League.

In this century so far, which is a quarter of the way through, the Yankees have won one World Series, the Red Sox have won four, and the Dodgers have won three.

They're, the Yankees are failing.

They're failing.

Do you have any Mahomes when the GOAT stuff started for him? I think you were on the sidelines for that and it was a little early.
