Hour 1: Knicks Comeback/Spurs Collapse Reaction, plus Hall of Famer Chris Webber
The San Antonio Spurs, leading by 29 points in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, collapsed in one of the most stunning comebacks in sports history, allowing the New York Knicks to storm back and win in dramatic fashion. Rich Eisen and Hall of Famer Chris Webber dissected the game, calling the Spurs' strategy—hoisting early, inefficient three-pointers while ignoring their dominant center Victor Wembanyama—a textbook case of arrogant, analytics-driven basketball that ignored fundamental principles. Webber condemned the team for failing to use Wembanyama’s size and skill inside, instead relying on perimeter shooting even when the game was in hand. The Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson’s 31-point fourth quarter and OG Ananobi’s game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds left, capitalized on the Spurs’ mistakes, turning a 76-30 halftime deficit into a historic comeback. Webber praised the Knicks’ heart, ball movement, and ability to thrive under pressure, calling it a moment that redefines what it means to be a team. The episode also explores the psychological toll on Spurs fans, the legacy of past collapses like the 'Flu Game,' and the broader implications for team strategy moving forward.
The Knicks completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, overcoming a 29-point deficit in Game 4.
Chris Webber labeled the Spurs' decision to keep shooting threes despite a 29-point lead as 'arrogant' and 'dumb basketball'.
Victor Wembanyama was not used effectively inside despite being the tallest player on the floor and a dominant scorer.
The Knicks' use of Jose Alvarado in the fourth quarter unlocked faster pace and better ball movement, exploiting Spurs' poor shot selection.
Jalen Brunson scored 31 points in the fourth quarter, including a crucial three-pointer to tie the game at 104-104.

The Wu Game: Knicks' Historic Comeback
“The Knicks come back from 29 points down. It was as historic as ever and it sure didn't feel that way to me or anybody in that building.”
Spurs' Offensive Collapse
“You have the tallest player on the floor. Like, that's just... We give him so much credit for being the great player that he is, and he is. And the reason why he's such a great player is because he's taller than everybody.”
Chris Webber on Arrogant Basketball
“It was just, you know, probably the dumbest game. And I'd like to say most arrogant game. The seven, you know, one that's ever been played with the stakes this high.”
The Final Possession & Ananobi's Tip-In
“OG Ananobi, with one right hand, enters New York sports lore. 1.2 ticks to go gives the Knicks the lead with a remarkable play.”
“That was just, you know, probably the dumbest game. And I'd like to say most arrogant game. The seven, you know, one that's ever been played with the stakes this high.”
“You have the tallest player on the floor. Like, that's just... We give him so much credit for being the great player that he is, and he is.”
“The Knicks had to make shots. They did in the same way that the Spurs were, they fell in love with their threes and why not? They made 14 of them in the first half.”
