Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the first wave of Knicks championship backstories, starting with Ian Begley's report about James Dolan speaking to the team before the playoffs and delivering a message that apparently landed with the players.

Evan and Tiki break down Jalen Brunson's closeout brilliance, the Spurs' late collapse, the missed flagrant foul controversy around Victor Wembanyama, and why this Knicks run forced opponents to make excuses while New York celebrated a title that felt impossible for generations.

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode Kriss & Ro are joined by Justin. We ended up switching the main focus of today’s show because of the latest news about the US Government slapping export controls on the latest Anthropic model. A true case of “WTF did you think was going to happen?” Checking in on the resident Spurs fan to see how he’s doing and feeling US Government tells Anthropic it can’t release it’s new model to foreign nationals basically forcing the company to pull access This situation is entirely Anthropic’s fault for going around for months talking about how “dangerous” Mythos was A.I. companies got in bed with the US Government because they thought they could control government officials and get what they want. Instead they’re realizing they just made a deal with loan sharks backed by the mob Not to be left out and showing they’ve learned no lesson, OpenAI is trying to pull the “China is doing it” narrative to explain away why so many people hate data centers Justin hasn’t been following the Cheyenne Bryant debacle and well… Grifters are always going to Grift Guest: Ro & Justin @bookblerd.bsky.social‬ @ljay90.bsky.social   Like what you hear?

For the first time since 1973 the New York Knicks are NBA champions, and they did it the hard way: down double digits in every single game and still standing alone on the mountain.Mo and two-time NBA championship coach Brendan Suhr break down a Finals that says something bigger about how you actually win in this league. Listen or watch as they make the case that the Knicks just buried the "you need a top-five superstar" myth, with Jalen Brunson's monster closeout, Karl-Anthony Towns answering every soft label, OG Anunoby and a bench that refused to break.Then the other side of it: a young Spurs team that overachieved to even get here and then lost the same way every night. Brendan goes inside why "five out" basketball stops working in June, why it was never an analytics game, and what San Antonio has to fix this summer around Wembanyama, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle. Mo makes his case on the De'Aaron Fox contract and who should really be running point in San Antonio (Brendan does not fully agree).Plus the offseason is already here: the hosts split on where Giannis lands, the Jaylen Brown and Trey Murphy dominoes, and how the East stacks up for next season.
