The Wildest Part Of Last Night's Game 1 Was Mike Breen Pulling Out After He Hit Us With The First Ever Premature Half Bang
This right here is why Mike Breen is a pro's pro. The man is a Knick through and through and yet here he is on the biggest stage getting ready to hit us iconic bang call. Except it wasn't a bang. It was Jim in American Pie as Nadia started touching herself. It was the moment you feel it coming, you're in for the best time of your life and get a little too excited. You have to adjust. You have to adapt. This game is all about making changes and that's where Mike Breen did it. The pull out from the premature bang call is as iconic and rare as his triple bang.
I still have no idea how that shot didn't go in. I've been a Knicks fan for basically 40 years at this point. All I know is heartbreak, pain and bounces not going our way. There's a reason we have Charles Smith, the Ewing finger roll, Reggie Miller's dumbass, Haliburton, you name it, we've lived through it. Basically we had the Allan Houston shot against Miami and Larry Johnson's 4 point play. Other than that we've only had pain. So, yeah, I assumed this shot was going in after getting the game tied. Mike Breen has lived through more than me, he knew that shot was going to go in. Then it didn't. Still can't believe it, especially when you see this

BA-in and and out. That's now one of the best calls I've ever lived through. Best in the business.
PS: The 'Brunson Burner has been lit' call is sneaky one of the best he had.
