You're listening to Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. I didn't know which was gonna break first, Your spirit, your buddy, Oh no, no, My spirit's absolutely breaking first, absolutely breaking first. You know, there's losses where that I've had to go through in my life in sports, where I know my life changed because of it. Like I brought it up a few minutes ago. This gets into the Knicks lost tonight to the to the Pacers eight thirty five overtime, a game in which teams leading by nine points with fifty seconds left in the game. Since the mid nineties when they started keeping track, were one four hundred and fourteen wins and zero losses.
Gotta love that that doesn't even include the thirty years before they started paying attention.
Until tonight, until tonight. There's certain losses that I know just changed me as a fan, changed me as a fan, like, Okay, I'm wound too tight or I just have to unplug. And you know I mentioned why not talk about the worst losses? And you know that I've had to go through the last few years. I talked about that loss. The Jets lost a playoff game to the Steelers in two thousand and six.
That's never made.
That's how long ago that millennials are like, what the Jets in the playoffs?
Are you kidding me? A long long time ago.
They lost a playoff game in six to the Steelers in which they missed two field goals in the final two minutes of regulation and lost in overtime. Doug Brown missed a forty five yard field goal, and then they intercepted Roethlisberger, and then Brian missed another forty four yard field goal, where the Jets decided, we're not going to throw the football, We're just gonna try to run and kick a field goal. He missed two field goal first time ever in the history of the NFL that a team missed two field goals in the final minute of regulation lost a game, right, first time that's happened.
Well, at least breaking.
And when that happened, that loss, like I know, that loss broke something in me with the Jets, and I realized, you know what, I just I can't hold on like this anyway. I can't hold on like this anymore. They're gonna kill me like that. And a few years later they killed Carl.
So I didn't kill Carl. Okay, they killed Carl, damn right, they did, no sin Safarian Jikins completed the catch.
I don't know what you're talking about legitimately, Like this is why for the years we've been on airon this is year eleven, and we're blessed to keep doing it and hopefully for many years more, educating and forming, entertaining, in raging, engaging all of that stuff with our global audience, your fandom. I'm jealous of the highs that you have with it, but I sure as hell don't miss those lows, like I experienced losses for my Chicago teams, and there's plenty of them.
I'm wearing a socks jersey and a three to one to two hat as we're sitting here at the studio.
I know losses.
Oh boy, I know losses, but I don't get to that level of despair anymore. Like I gave up on that, like just too many of them and way too many real serious things in real life.
Well but that's it. I mean, we can celebrated the life.
And career of George Went yesterday, many many angry moments to where you know, maybe you did.
Hit a wall. Literally you hit a wall. It does not work over your hands very well, Jason, let me tell you.
But this is one of those laws that is going to break me as a Knicks fan, Like I need to be a different fan after this, Oh after watching the Pacers come back when the Knicks are up by fourteen with two point fifty left to go in the game, up until teams up by fourteen with two point fifty or less left to go in the game. Up until this point, since the mid nineties, they've been keeping track nine hundred and seventy seven to zero.
These are now indelibly I'm always gonna remember.
I mean, he's won't play nine to seventy seven in the power Ball right, like, like that's what It was a fourteen point lead and you had Nie Smith making six threes in the fourth quarter.
He was insane.
A guy that never makes shots like this had one thirty point game the entire year of a thirty point game. The Knicks missing free throws down the stretch. All Karl Anthony Towns are oganna, noob. We had to do was hit a free throw each of them in the final twenty seconds. They both missed, which left the door open. Right, Halliburton hits the jumper. That is a miracle shot that bounces off the back of the iron and goes up eight feet in the air and comes down cleanly through the basket. He does the choke jester. He does the Regi Miller choke jester again. This is a highlight that's already I know is going to live forever in the annals of the NBA. We're gonna be watching this highlight for the next fifty years, right, We are just like the Regi Miller highlight from the mid nineties, and we're gonna watch it. That was that was amazing enough. It gets called back to a two. So now the Pacers have to come back thinking they won the game. Nope, doesn't matter. The Knicks can't close out in overtime and Obi toppin former Nick who they said, ah, we don't have room for you, hits two large dunks in the final forty seconds to win the game for them, like the again, like this this game is one of those where oh, in my head, like a Synaps's breaking or in uh in Wayne's world when he goes maybe that movie Scanners and the guy's head just explodes, like something like that happened in my head, where I said, I I can't hold on like that.
I can't hold on like that. Oh.
We were sitting here watching watching this sunfold right up fourteen.
We're talking to Jason Cole.
We're talking about the legacy and life of Jim or say passed away at sixty five.
You've got the owners meetings and.
Tabling, this rule change, talking about this change on side kicks, all this other stuff, and he would just in the middle of an answer, go now it's five point game.
Now it's a two point game.
And I can see you shift in your seat just a little bit, like you're you're doing everything you can to just be like all right, Cole, finish your answer.
Stop talking about the game. Let's talk about football.
He we're gonnam Bart metalize this, But the whole time it's like, all right, stop, there's another three point shot and.
You can just see you, you know, tense up a little bit.
At that point, I was mad that I'm just gonna have to sweat this out when I should and fourteen point lead, two and a half left in the game's over, but instead, no, I gotta sweat this out. And then when we finished and Monsey was doing what's trending, I said, this room is bad luck. I'm going in the other room to watch the recD. Yeah, room was no better. The control room with Frostburg and Tyshirt was no better. It was notted onto the old studio. I mean those TVs they're still on Winning studio. If it gone further, I was going into Manci's update studio, whether she want to be in.
There or not. I'm staying here to watch the rest of shot him. I need.
Remember because he did turn on you. He took the chair to the back of the head. I'm sure this game went on. I'm sure you did, but I really I need this is I I I I don't know what.
How about you be a man who burned the tape and move on to game two. I can't yet. Man, We're on the Cincinnati Boyant. I can't do it. I've broken man, you broke me. You want you want to know? You win? You what you guys?
What I love?
It's only game one, game two Friday nights. You're gonna stand there like a bum like I'm at that and not swing. He's standing around and burning up. This is where the.
Garbage can this sing and take me back? This is where dude, no, no, no, dude. If I'm Rocky, I'm at the point in Rocky three where I need to win. I need a pole come in and go Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna you up and carry you up, and then you're gonna owe me a favor at the end.
What is it?
It's okay history. I need Apollo to come and tell me, Hey, I got you. Man, I'll pick you back up because I'm on the ground right now. Man, I'm on the ground.
You're hoping that it ends with you in that awkward hug in the water after the race on the beach, Well that's what you're hope.
And at the end, I'm Eddie Murphy. The beginning of training place where he picked me up out of the Park and say, hey, we're gonna make you a million.
All right, great, I'm low man, I'm low. I really love your usual bet one dollar.
Now.
We'll have more on this game coming up in a fee. I need a five minute break to talk about something big from the NBA today that I loved that you love I love today.
I love today.
I love today, Shay Gildess Alexander winning the MVP because the MVP, and I've talked about this for a long time, the MVP is not just simply who had the best year in the league statistically.
It's not you'll, Kitch wins three out of the last four MVP.
But you know what, Yeah, the Nuggets have been a nice fifty to fifty five win team in the Western Conference the last five years, and I won the title, right, Okay, great, But during the regular season, the MVP is not Player of the Year right now, and hey, and I've said, the best thing that the Major League Baseball in the NBA can do is say we're gonna have a Player of the Year and an MVP. So that way we're gonna reward somebody with the Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant Player of the Year award where, hey, you had such a great year, dominant on the court, statistically, you're the player of the Year. But the MVP you gotta lead your team to something. And I've watched four years in a row NICOLEA. Jokicic play that great and it's still a fit. They're a fifty to fifty five win team, which is good. But shake Gildess. Alexander also had a pretty record breaking year this year, doing things that we've never seen done. Right, Jokic with the triple double app Yeah, I get it, and I'm not saying anything bad about Jolkic, but Gildess Alexander leaves the Thunder to first place in the conference, and they're the best team in the NBA. That's the MVP. That's the MVP, not Player of the Year. That's the MVP. So I was happy that he won because I felt, okay, this time the voters rewarded the guy that actually led his team to heights in the regular season. Right when Steph Curry they were talking about Steph Curry for the MVP like three years ago, when he's having a great year, I'm like, they're seventh in the Western Conference. Man, you gotta finish higher than that. If you're gonna be the MVP, you're a great player. But I'm telling you, if you're great, you should finish higher. Right, Lebron had the Cavaliers. They had a bunch of stiffs he was playing with, and they're the top of the Eastern Conference for the most time when he was there. But like, if you're the MVP, you gotta lead your team to son. You can't just say, hey, I'm having a great year for my team. Okay, that's not the most Valuable player.
That's not.
I was surprised there was seventy one twenty nine. We talked about it with Rick Buker a little bit. You'll be able to find that in the podcast.
That was the next League tonight over the Paces in the fourth quarter with seventy one twenty nine.
It's gonna get worse as the time goes on. It's gonna be one hundred and forty two to twelve. It's gonna be sounded like the super fans kits that we're talking about last night with the passing of George went But for Shay Gilger Alexander right sixty eight wins. You could argue depth of squad because for many in going back to Michael Malone before he flopped because he wanted totroll Denver and Yokic like he did yesterday. We talked about that find that in the podcast We Love to Lead.
As we do.
He was ardent about it, right, saying, ten out of ten, you'd take these numbers, and for Jokic it was every bit as good or better than anything done. Problem is he already won three times, yeah, which means it's gonna be the.
All right, I like it, but you know what, SGA, new star, new opportunity, Oklahoma City gets to add another MVP to their trophy case, all.
Of these things. So he moves on.
So he goes first, Jokich second, gets all the rest of the first place vote seventy one twenty nine, Giannis finished his third. Then you have Tatum Mitchell and Lebron James. Your Nicks don't even place man, not even close. No, Jalen runs in love. I mean they split the vote that that much, mam.
But I'm okay with that because SGA got all the votes, got seven out of ten votes right inside of ten votes. He should because who led their team? He did, right, he did Donovan Mitchell had a great year. But you know what, Look, the Cavaliers offense is phenomen right, they go one through the best offense in the league. Right, he was the best player on a really good team. SGA is the envy. He did stuff that was by far and away. Look, I was okay with that, because what did the Knicks do with Brunson? Yeah they were they were a three seeds. That's great, a nice fifty to fifty five win team in the regular season. That's what it is. SGA was more than that.
Yeah, Like I said, I really thought the the SGA Jokic thing would be a little closer.
Did they get it right? Sure?
Because now you've got a new hero, You've got a new star that you're building. Now, we'll see the backlash next year. How do you top it? Right, even if you win the title whatever, you're going for another you got thirty points a game, and you've got the narrative now swirling around you in terms.
Of how your stats were padded with bogus Fohn calls.
So that you've gotten all on, go back to just game one yesterday. Man, this is Bruger film. Here's a pushoff, but it's an A and one all the way through, but he gets the MVP and moving on. Nikola Jokic's back with his horses.
He's happy, exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome, happy for it. Now there's a great fun hot take I have on it as well. We'll get to that coming up.
Boom.
Plus, we're gonna get to do something unbelievably fun surrounding this. Patrick Johnson, this is what's called the t's in our business. Mike Carmen, a tip.
Fine magic. Johnson is a tweeting fool. Following the Pacers victory over the Knicks. We'll get to play. We'll get to play that coming up next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Being alone for a while is dangerous. It's addicting what you see, how peaceful it is. You don't want to deal with people anymore.
Ah, I subscribe to that theory.

Bet?
For most of your life I should have been I should have been I need it, man. But growing up like, and here's the thing, right, here's the thing. My entire family in Staten Island, right, growing up, my entire family Yankees. No, no, no, no, no no. My dad Yankee fan. We were all Mets fans. Right, that's the one good thing is we were all Mets fans. My dad Yankee fan, of course. And he's the guy I still gotta get text me every day. Look at Soto, he's nu SWI get at pitches now, thanks Dad. I was my grandfriend and I were the Jets fans. The rest of my family was all Giants fans.
They won.
My entire family that I grew up with, all my uncles, they were all Celtics fans, all Celtics fans because in the seventies at well, they grew up in the eighties and my uncle, my main uncle, went to Indiana State, so of course Larry Bird, he's a Celtics fan. My other uncle, Larry Bird, Celtics fan. So the two main people that love basketball and my immediate family were Celtics fans. Of course, then their kids became Celtics fans, so they're all Celtics fans. So I was living high in the hog a few days ago. I'm like, yeah, yeah, Now I can't even look at my phone. I can't look at my phone after tonight because I know they're wait staying up.
Lake going oh yeah I was Jason with a Celtics. Yeah. Yeah, I can't do it, man.
I want to throw my phone in the ocean. I want to throw in the ocean and say goodbye. I can't really this loss, man. Yeah, but they would suck right now because you can just laugh and say we beat you.
Sent you down.
It doesn't matter, man, hurt your star, I mean you could really doesn't matter. But this is where one of the few times that's saying, you know what, you can put out your Jason Tatum gifts just to get back at him.
It doesn't matter. That's how you respond.
It's low, man. I have not been this low. Maybe I don't know. Was I this low? And Rogers got hurt? But we won that game, but man, no, this was this is about his low low now.
Rogers getting hurt. Yeah, Rogers was terrible.
Because you reminded me of a guy when I when I was in college, I had a guy that lived in the hall.
One of our buddies was a big Phillies fan. Yeah.
Who after Mitch Williams served up the home run to Joe Carter, who literally went screaming down the hallway. Ah, he sounded like Michael Scott and then but he disappeared like he didn't go back.
To his room.
Okay, we couldn't find him, and it literally like we were that worried about him that we we had people out and search parties. You guys go that way, you got that, And we eventually found him sitting on a curb about a half a mile on the other side of campus, staring into the darkness.
You had that look on your face when Rogers got hurt, we still had a lot of show to down. Yeah. No, I mean the the two.
I mean, I wasn't this low when Familia gave up the home run to Aaron Gordon game in Aaron Gordon to uh to to.
Eric Hosmer in Game one of the Worlds. I low, no this this and Rogers like that's low man, it's low. When when Diaz got hurt, you were pretty low.
That was low, man, but not as low as this. This is because all of this, like I said.
This is seven to seven, which is the worst.
This is an NBA all time NBA highlight achievement that they're going to talk about for you because of everything that goes along with I mean, I can't go through it.
I already ordered you a choke shirt.
On the front is Haliburton, on the back is Reggie Miller.
Does Now, as we get said for a game, I'll pay attention to tomorrow because you know it's not the Knicks. Uh time to give you our picks for DraftKings. Let's go, new customers, play five bucks and get fifty dollars and bonus picks instantly. Again, new customers, you play five bucks, you get fifty and bonus picks instantly. Here's my DraftKings pick for tomorrow night's game. I will give you I was down on him last night, right because he had that kind of game where you need more from him. The over under for Ann Edwards points tomorrow is twenty three and a half. I'm gonna go way over. Just gotta go over twenty three and a half. But I'll go over for Ann Edwards. He knows he needed to bring them more last night. Five points in the third quarter, no points in the fourth quarter. He has bad games, he doesn't have them back to back. The next bad game might be Game three, Game four, and again it might and it might be too late. But tomorrow night it'll be a big individual effort for him. Over twenty three and a half for Ann Edwards.
I'm staying same team, going big guy. I'm going Rudy Gobert over six and a half points. Season average was twelve. Early foul trouble.
Kept him out of the paint and out of harm's way for a good chunk of that game. He'll be more active and with Anthony Edwards, it's having some success from the outside. Uh and on the dribble drive that means also a beneficiary to take the ball to the rack.
Uh. So there it is.
There's our draft, Kings pick six plays. Now it's time to celebrate the Pacers and the Knicks the best way we know how. It is time to play no time. Yeah, club's open. Gotta listen to the whole show, right on time. Gotta listen the whole shows. Well, I think you're a massacus. Yeah I'm a what massacus? Masochist?
Yeah? Yeah, I don't believe in teas.
Okay, you want to say the alphabet. Okay, all right, very good, Mascus, Yeah, no, I think I might.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know how else to explain the Mets, Nicks and Jets being those teams.
I don't know how, but it is go ahead ask the follow up questions. But it is time to play.
