Jalen Brunson Sparks Knicks! No Players, No Problem! 🚀

And we’re coming to you live for the build forward top Studio Boomer SC in Greg G and a it’s Boomer and go on the fans simcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are in the free Odyssey app Good Friday morning a Feelgood Friday not really a football

Friday one of those left out in Vegas Boomer just got back from there he was scouting everything out for us what we’re going to do next week all of that good stuff of course plenty of Nicks today as they can continue to roll it is amazing what is happening with that team

Good morning Boomer how are you yeah I’m doing good G and uh I don’t know about scouting out or anything scouting out I got to tell you what we’re going to be doing we’re going to be sleeping is what we’re going to be doing well especially Monday and Tuesday where it’s going to

Be pouring complete wash outs those days out in Vegas you know when I got there it was beautiful it was about 70° when I landed it was beautiful it was like a sunset now I called you up and I told you I said man if it stays like this

We’re good to go don’t worry about it and I said said it’s not going to stay like that it’s going to pour rain when we get there I well and that negativity hit me when I was leaving yesterday because it was raining when I left yesterday y so um yeah kind of weird

Hopefully uh Super Bowl week is going to be uh better at the end than it will be at the beginning but I you know I stayed at the manderlay so I didn’t I didn’t really go down on the Strip oh you did not no I didn’t have time I mean like

You you think I I had 48 hour it was a 48 hour trip and when I got there it was probably 7:00 and 9 10:00 our time so I was I was trying to stay on our time of course I went to bed got up really early

Had a few hours to myself during the day that that was nice I just you know went down and had lunch and things of that nature and then had to go do that shoot at a legion Stadium which by the way is beautiful inside nice I I have not seen

It inside was that the first time you’ve been there inside time the first time inside yeah um it’s it’s smaller than most stadiums I think it’s only about 65 maybe 70,000 uh and what is really cool about the stadium much like Arizona Stadium you know they they roll the tray the

Field in on a tray that is right so when uh we were there shooting the Super Bowl greatest commercial show uh they were painting a turf field that was in there and they were painting it just like they would it would be the Super Bowl field

And the Reas the reason they were doing that was because that’s where Usha will practice now he’s not going to practice on the real field uh they’ll have a media day there Sunday or Monday night and they’ll they’ll use the field for all different things early in the week

And I think they’re going to roll the tray in think somebody told me Wednesday and the interesting thing about this if you remember back to last year’s Super Bowl you know the Eagles were complaining they had 70 sacks during the regular season that’s right go into the

Super Bowl they don’t have one sack and all their pass rushers were slipping all over slipping all over the place I remember and that was a big talking point the Monday after the Super Bowl how the hell could that happen same kind of situation here now with uh you know

With the the Raiders and Las Vegas and their their tray of grass that comes in and we’ll see if uh they do anything and of course George Toma the guy that for years who did retire after last he did not go out on top uh no he

Did not and today is his 95th birthday by the way oh happy birthday George yes did you slam him in that Sports minute grass in his last Super Bowl I have to tell you so he did our Super Bowl in Super Bowl 23 down in Miami oh my goodness and our field was

The opposite of what last year’s field was our field was Quagmire their field yet last year was like uh slippery and as as you know the guys in Philadelphia are arguing about a very tight field tght tght very tight so anyway Vegas is I guess it’s ready for

Boomer and goo and uh with Al and Eddie and Jerry and everybody’s all excited ran into a number of New Yorkers uh both on the plane in the airport um then I I basically got uh deed in the Drive-Thru coming through the uh going trying to

Get on a plane yesterday so we’re coming back you know I’m sitting in first class which is very nice yeah of course and the woman’s up there and she says okay you know you’re boarding by Rose blah blah blah blah blah or groups or whatever and I said yeah it’s fine and

She makes an announcement you know only two bags per person now this plane is half full by the way it’s not full she even says it’s not a full flight but we have a policy a standing by only two bags per person I fig I’m I’m sitting in first class so I

Went out in first class yeah and I had a garment bag and a wheelie bag git bag git bag and a wheelie bag and then I also had my like my over the shoulder backpack okay so leaving Newark no problem leaving Vegas I get up I I take

My phone I put it on the the the barcode reader or the QR Code Reader Boop and she goes excuse me mister uh I said yes she goes only two bags I said well this is like a garment bag and this is like a wheelie bag and I have this holder bag

And I mean I’m sitting in first class there’s plenty of room yeah and she goes no only three bags I mean only two bags so she took my bag and you know now I’m jamming up the line behind me God checked your one bag and you could tell

The people are you know getting a little annoyed like you didn’t hear what she said and I said well I’m already at the gate and I was able to do this going out I figured I’d be able to do it going back and it wasn’t like I had like this

Big garment bag I just had a garment bag and a wheelie bag in my in my backpack that was it you could stuff that in the overhead no problem and what made me really annoyed but made me really really freaking annoyed okay she took the bag she checked the bag fine whatever took

An extra three and a half minutes which seemed like an eternity because everybody’s looking at me like I’m an idiot uh I get on I get on first class I sit down I look over and the guy comes in I don’t know two minutes later to sit

In the seat right next to me he’s got three bags what three bags he had three bags well one of his bags was like a one of those citarella bags like a like a supermarket bag like one of those out and he had three bags now I didn’t know

Whether or not I should get up and make a fuss you should have I would have it’s one of those weird situations where now if I do you know all these people are going back to New Jersey and New York so they most likely a lot of them probably

Know who I am or whatever right look at Boomer he’s making a big fuss about the bag thing now who was this guy this first class guy was he I I don’t know I didn’t I didn’t get proba he’s clearly more important to than you to the

Airline right well yeah I mean and I have to say the airline was on time United was on time didn’t have any problemed everything was fine it was comfortable uh you know every everything was good I I didn’t want to complain about it but I just I knew I held up the

Line when I really shouldn’t have had to hold up the line and then another guy comes on two minutes later with three bags and I’m like you got to be kidding me so I I thought about it for about 30 seconds to get up to go walk out you

Know the the skybridge or whatever the hell you call it and complain but I was like forget it screw it then of course you got to get to nework and then you got to you got to wait for your bags now yeah now you got to wait wait for your

BS and then you got to stand there oh no you got to stand there then you’re getting attacked it’s selfie City selfie oh you took a lot of selfies standing there it’s okay you know what I don’t want you to go through this again so

What I’m going to do is I’m going to get us a private plane out to Vegas we’ll leave on Sunday I’ll just I’ll book that today for us so you don’t have to deal with that type of nonsense I’ll take care of it don’t worry about I wouldn’t

Say that it was nonsense but it was I went from being at the front of the line going through to getting stopped and then jamming everybody else up and I felt bad for everybody behind me cuz I know what they were all saying what is this dip wad doing holding us up see

Stop you did not feel bad for them you felt embarrassed for yourself because people were saying no I turned around to the people behind me and said sorry folks sorry folks sorry folks you gave them a sorry folks I did I said Sor and they say it’s okay or did they glare

Back at you it’s okay Boomer no problem right what do you want to do you want to put me in jail well I mean they don’t put anybody in jail these days or at least not keep them there I don’t know if you’re watching the news around here the last

Couple of days did you see this story what story is that now oh you don’t know the story no I probably do know the story but what story is about the about the cop who got beat up by the illegal immigrants the two cops yeah yeah yeah

The cops and now and now they’re out of jail because they don’t keep them in jail and they they’ve fled to California yeah I know that I mean just I I know exactly what’s going on but you know this is a sports show we’re supposed to be bringing happiness on a Feelgood Frid

Frid and by the way I have to say the Knicks without three of their five starters remember Mitchell Robinson was the starter he’s not playing m no an anobi and no Julius Randall and I I texted my man Mike Breen yesterday who I thought did a great job describing the

Game with Clyde about how this was an old school throwback game most likely because the Knicks missed so many three-pointers and they had to do they had a rebound they had to play defense and these are guys that are like you can tell it they feel it man they feel they

Feel it they feel it on defense they feel it with their effort um and the guys that are getting you know minutes now uh like Precious auua and Jericho Sims and Duce McBride came in last night hartenstein had 18 19 rebounds last night hardstein but you know the amazing

Thing about him like he’s the starter right now remember he was coming off the bench when Mitchell Robinson was healthy I just what I worry about with all big guys is playing the way that he plays he plays balls to the wall the whole game that is true uh but this is now

Back-to-back games that he didn’t have anobi and didn’t have Randall and hopefully anobi is back soon Julius Randall is I’m a little nervous about all of that because it is just there’re they feel like they’ve dodged a bullet they feel like it’s positive but until he comes back plays and looks like

Himself I’m going to be nervous about that because clearly even though in these two games they’ve won without him and won convincingly they need these guys we know that but they if they’re going to win in the playoffs they absolutely have to have Julius Randall and it’s amazing that I’m sitting here

Saying this because the last couple of playoff appearances Julius Randall has been a detriment more than he’s been a positive but now he’s different it just goes to show you the most important player in this team is Jaylen brunon yeah and we all know that

And they can win games you know in the middle of uh you know here we start February but in the middle of the winter uh without their best player so they can win games against a good team was also missing part of their roster too because of injury and Tyrese halberton didn’t play

The whole game but I just all I know is that Jaylen Brunson is the most important player and maybe the best player we’ve had here in 20 years I mean he’s the most rounded player well-rounded player unselfish player need a bucket go get the bucket need a three-point shot go get the three-point

Shot need a rebound get the rebound you need an assist give an assist I mean the guy is unbelievable and the fact that you know they were chanting MVP MVP last night I would say he’s right there in the running I mean I I look I mean there

Are other guys maybe donic maybe embiid maybe yic well embiid’s hurt now and God knows when he’s going to come back every single night this guy just is like going a 100 miles an hour there’s no nights off for him and you know when he’s not

Out there uh you know in a game where he’s not starting and I mean like if they’re sitting him before he gets hurt a little bit they’re a completely different team I mean he is he is the engine of that team he is the heartbeat

Of that team and then guys like you know uh you know Josh Hart play off of that hartenstein plays off of that you could see it and and Duce McBride plays off of that like I said Duce hit one three-pointer late in the fourth I think

It was still about six minutes to go or something in the game and I felt like that’s where the Knicks finally were they were able to breathe they finally hit one you could hear a bring G they finally hit one and I thought he was great last night because it was it was

Old school we were just missing Reggie Miller and Patrick ying and Oakman and all those lunatics back in the 90s cuz that’s that game felt like last night yeah I mean the Pacers are a good team Pacers are one of the best offensive teams in basketball they’re five games

Over 500 and for the Knicks to just and they were fighting all night and had a comeback and they just they don’t they play regular season basketball like like they play playoff basketball which they were arguing last night a lot too with the referees and R both teams were

There’s listen it’s it’s it’s the int bunson got smashed right in the forehead yeah I mean there there are guys like like that come along in the history of New York Sports that change everything for the franchise and Jaylen Brunson is on the verge of doing that if if now we

Saw them losing the second round last year it’s going to be about the playoffs just like it is with every other great player but if he gets his team to an NBA finals and God forbid I mean I mean well not God forbid but if they ever win one

I mean my Lord these these these Immortal statues they’re going to change the name of houseon Street to Brunson Street I mean they’re going this this place is going to go crazy but like when you know Gary Carter comes comes over uh to the Mets m p Mike P well yeah Piaza

Obviously they went to a World Series but did why you going to the Mets why I was going to cuz you cut me off that’s why I was going to Mark Messier and the Rangers I was going to say more but it’s there’s a whole bunch of them in the

History of New York Sports in all different every single one of them whether it’s drafting Eli Manning or getting McKai beckon if you’re the the Jets I don’t really have one for you uh Rex r I guess would be re Ryan would be the one re Ry bill parcel’s

First bill parcel and then Rex Ryan but there there are people in the history of of these these major sports franchisees the Yankees there’s a million of them we can go over and over and over again who’s The Islander I know who it is The Islander who changed everything yeah I

Think I know who it is I’m not a fan of the Islanders but I think I know who it is but he’s been embroiled in some controversy lately for nothing that he’s done it’s just the way people react sometimes don’t uh people react to him not Bobby

Nrom now they all were a great team but I think Butch Goring was the one that brought it all together you know what I’m saying that’s right but Goring think I’ve read that somewhere I’m not I’m not really that deep into it so but I I

Think that that’s the guy so the the point is Derek Jeter for the Yankees yeah when he came along obviously there’s a m the Yankees examples are a million but even you can even say if you want Sims yeah so Barn Taylor yep these are all great examples so Jaylen Brunson

Is in that Patrick Ying prior to jayen Brunson jayen Brunson is now in that convers we are now he is close to being in New York Sports Heaven I mean how about Marty broor it’s the devil’s though man yeah but it’s a c you know

Listen and he was a big reason why they won the cups yeah no of course I know you gota I mean like at the end of the day look I played here for three years I know what you’re talking about I mean jayen is playing great and I’m it made

It’s making basketball watchable because they’re playing defense and they are and when they’re missing three-point shots and they have to get rebounds and they got to hustle tip the ball all that kind of crap that’s what the Knicks of the 90s were under Pat Riley that’s ex and

Even under Jeff Ang Gundy that’s what they looked like and they weren’t backing down from anybody and they’re missing like I said three of their top five players MH and they continue to win and it has been amazing that is great it is and uh and it’s fun and it’ll give us

Something because you know obviously with these you got Juan stto with the Yankees but the Mets are not trying to win this yearo but the Mets are not trying to win this year so when we get into the spring and the Knicks are playing some playoff games so we could

Try you know we Mets are not trying to win this year no they’re not clearly because they’re not getting Evan a stick they’re not getting anybody you want to be talking about they have sticks they don’t have sticks they have sticks they’ve had they had a lot of

Injuries last year titly Winks is what they’ve got they got sticks Lindor stick yeah all right Lindor and Alonzo stick Marte a stick if he’s out there and actually playing stick occasionally Alvarez is stick yeah we’ll see hopefully right okay well you got to you need another one you can’t have you know

Batty and vien whatever we talking baseball my point is that they don’t they don’t you don’t want to talk they aren’t try they are not trying to win this year they’ve made it clear don’t tell the players that different story right David Sterns and Steve Cohen have decided that 2024

Not important to them the tax writeoffs aren’t aren’t important to them well that is but the obviously the winning like they don’t they don’t expect to make the playoffs they don’t expect to to win a division get a they don’t they don’t they’re just think about the tax

Rof for the depreciation of Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander and Jacob the Grom lot of depreciation there lot of depreciation
