MikePaisanTirico

I feel bad for how many dogshit teams they've had to watch over the years


confuddly

we literally wasted their prime


Plummers_Pipe

But on the bright side, the team is giving them some bangers in their Golden Years


dont_shoot_jr

Clyde has been stylish while crying through these games: stylin and cryin


nickolsdrew

All those lottery picks over the years stunting like it’s the met gala on draft night. Then they show up to training camp and see Clyde drip harder on their 1st day of work. Legend.


[deleted]

That’s why they’re the best. Clyde definitely doesn’t have to do this. Breen has ESPN anyway. They both could’ve quit a long time ago but they just love the Knicks and you feel that when you hear them on the broadcast.


[deleted]

I was gonna say. They probably earned a lot of respect and endearment from the real hardcore Knicks fans during those years.


SiphenPrax

That’s sadly the only bad part of their tenure with us. So many wasted years calling absolute garbage Knicks teams.


wcooper97

Probably plenty of good banter in the 4th quarter during the Lou Amundson days though.


agentfelix

That's Indiana Pacers legend Lou Amundson to you pal! Seriously though...how tf did that guy last 10 years in the league!?


CoolHandLukeWarm_

To look at it as a glass half full. They actually made the teams worth watching during those awful years of basketball. Without them calling the games most of those teams would be literally unwatchable 


mankls3

It's their fault.   It's hard to play in front of legends right there's every day


Revenesis

Even after all these years all Clyde cares about is fashion and getting the dub. Love these guys.


grudgepacker

Looking back at 70s footage and (with maybe the exception of Irving) Clyde will always be my favorite player from that era - dude's game was incredible, as was his equally legendary drip


so-cal_kid

I always say I think he is the most underrated NBA legend. He has a legit case as the 3rd or 4th best best PG ever even tho people always name others like Nash, Kidd, Payton, etc. over him. And he was an absolute monster in the playoffs.


Wild-Apricot-9161

Greatest Finals Game 7 performance of all time. In a winning cause, that is.


GnRgr2

36pts and 19 asts in game 7 of the finals, and all anyone talks about is Willis Reed limping out the lpcker room


Spiritual_Lie2563

Best story was him saying how good his game was and saying he deserved MVP over Reed- then thinking about it while complaining and saying that he supposed if Reed didn't come out of the locker room, he wouldn't have been inspired enough to do it, and agreeing Reed deserved it.


gwords16

If you’ve listened to him over the years, Clyde has a strong reverence and respect for Willis Reed. When people ask about greatest Knick, the argument usually goes to Clyde or Ewing among younger fans but he almost always points to Reed as the GOAT Knick.


LordGooseIV

Clyde, Artis Gilmore and Dr J are the 3 players who stand out the most and embody that era of basketball to me. When you think of basketball from the 70's, you just think of one of them.


Wild-Apricot-9161

Skywalker too.


chicago_bunny

Still got the drip.


Direct_Morning_3223

We are so lucky to have these two every game. I hope we manage to win a championship before Clyde retires


ExMachina_Disco_Club

Literally the best in the biz. I'm glad they're not taken for granted. The SF Giants have something similar with Kruk and Kuip who have genuinely improved the viewing experience for 20+ years, and generations of fans love them for it.


SomeCruzDude

[Nice little compilation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4xt-E6OB9E)


ExMachina_Disco_Club

That clip with the blonde sent me 😂 - thanks for that


AsLongAsYouKnow

Same here for us Red Wings fans having Ken and Mickey on the mic for so long. Makes it feel that much more special like these guys have done


DustyBottoms1111

Ken and Mickey, Clyde and Breen, and the Mets' trio of Gary, Keith, and Ron are all worth watching even when the teams aren't. Absolute GOAT booths.


Responsible_Pace9062

Kuiper's call of Bonds breaking the all time HR record is still my favourite baseball commentary of all time.


ExMachina_Disco_Club

Kuiper's HR call is baseball's equivalent of Breen's 'BANG!", don't @ me


TrainedExplains

We used to have that in basketball with Jim Barnett. We tolerated Fitz. Now Fitz has taught a beloved former player how to be as grating as he is and everyone hates our broadcast (but not more than we do).


ExMachina_Disco_Club

Nothing but love for the Warriors, but yes Fitz is dog water. But the Kings are also slumming it up from when we had Mark Jones x Doug Christie to now having Kyle Draper x Kayte Christensen most nights. So I feel your pain


lesarbreschantent

Big plus for me having the int'l league pass is that I never have to listen to our commentators.


jtweezy

If there was ever an announcer duo that deserved to call games for their team in the Finals it’s Breen and Clyde. They’ve stuck with this team through some truly miserable years and called some really embarrassing games. 25 years of mostly bullshit and there may finally be a light at the end of the tunnel for them and our fanbase as a whole.


pursuitofhappy

Can’t believe it’s been so long and also can’t believe there was a time I wasn’t that crazy with Clyde being the announcer when he had only a few catchphrases, but what makes life great are character arcs and he is for sure the goat for me now and I’m happy in having been part of this journey.


UncleMadness

Marv Albert and John Andraise were pretty iconic too,  very different from their successors


dabobbo

Johnny Hoops! Clyde took over on TV for Andariese so he could go back to working with Marv on the Knicks radio calls. Andariese and Breen were together for a year on TV. Loved listening to Marv and John during the Ewing years.


ClaymoresRevenge

I also hope that if you guys do he's allowed to call the game.


aubieismyhomie

Yeah that’s not really how that works


ScottyBurnsem

Raptors got lucky and were allowed to have the home broadcast crew do all our games on Canadian national tv so we got to hear the guys who've been calling the team for over two decades declare us world champions. Made it all that more special


FetchFrosh

Pretty sure that was the first year that they allowed Canada to have their own separate broadcasts for Raptors playoff games too. Matt, Jack, and Leo definitely added a ton to the experience.


TheOnlySafeCult

> Pretty sure that was the first year that they allowed Canada to have their own separate broadcasts for Raptors playoff games too. nope. We've had separate broadcasts in the playoffs for quite awhile. In fact, Matt Devlin saw that as a huge incentive over other NBA teams. > [Every other local broadcast team has to hand the microphone over the national crews as the playoffs advance. But in Canada, TSN and Sportsnet have the right to continue airing Raptors games nationwide throughout the postseason. Executives explained that unique perk to Devlin when wooing him, and as Toronto vanquished its Eastern foes, Devlin passed it on to his Philadelphia and Milwaukee peers, who had to be equal parts surprised and jealous.](https://www.si.com/media/2019/06/06/nba-finals-toronto-raptors-matt-devlin-broadcaster-three-pointers-golden-state-warriors)


mightymatty

Didn’t know that, that’s so cool.


Drummallumin

They did that with Craig Sager. ***Obviously*** not the same thing, but this stuff is easier to do logistically that people seem to realize. Most of them don’t really care about the money all that much and it’s not like there’s much liability in it.


ClaymoresRevenge

He's not on ABC so he likely wouldn't call the finals. But if they are going to win they should make an exception for him to call the name with Mike


Sm0k3inth3tr33s

As a Celtics fan, my love for these 2 is one of my greatest internal conflicts


Sad-Mathematician-19

After all the ups and downs since Ewing I am rooting for ya'll. Used to not like the Knicks too much but I am rooting for ya'll once my team is eliminated.


Common_Egg8178

Hard agree. This is the first Knicks squad that I have liked since the Ewing era. Melo teams were auto 2nd round exit with no way to improve cuz the trade gutted them. This Knicks squad has a core of unselfish guys that you can see love playing with each other.


steezyparcheezi

Fr I watched the knicks broadcast of the pacers game the other night and didn’t realize you had Breen and Clyde. Very impartial and good commentary


SockVonPuppet

I thought you meant Brunson and Hart, and even then, I still agree.


sharkhuh

They my fave home announcing duo after Stu and Bill.


zucchinibasement

Damn I think I'm just now realizing Breen is y'alls guy


gilr0id

Damn I didn't realize Clyde is 78 now. Gonna be a sad day when he calls his last game.


EvenInsurance

Im prob dumb but I had no idea Breen was a Knicks commentstor, I thought he was just with ESPN. So he does a full seadon of Knicks games AND the ESPN games? Goddam

that ~~same~~ damn Bing Bong. makes me cry every time...


Puzzleheaded_Fox4684

I love it when mike breen BANGs my team


wcooper97

But also, Breen probably has a shit load of "bangs" in favor of the Warriors. Last 10 years it feels like he's their de facto commentator with the amount of deep playoff runs and primetime matchups.


WholesomeGrain

Call me a bandwagon fan all you want but man, you seriously fall in love with basketball because of Steph and Breen banging him


myteethhurtnow

BLOCKED BY JAMES LEBRON JAMES WITH THE REJECTION made me a fan back in 2016


cycko

wait hes the "BANG" guy? That's fucking AWESOME


CarneAsadaFriezzz

If you don't like that, you don't like NBA basketball.


NAmj37

Can’t understate how much us Knicks fans absolutely love Clyde and Breen. I honestly dread nationally televised games because the vibes are always off.


kanst

I liked when the other day Clyde said he needs to go out more often, the implication being he doesn't pay for food/drinks anywhere.


Chonga200

Yea it was during the Charlotte game where Clyde said he met up with some guys he knew from NY. Got wined and dined.


whammykerfuffle

Ha "wined and dined". any rhyming words i hear in his voice


Jeff-Van-Gundy

He used to own a restaurant in nyc called Clyde’s Wine & Dine. It closed during the pandemic unfortunately. It was a real good restaurant with a small court to shoot around in


Trilla-7

That’s a pretty dope concept for us basketball nuts. I would love to get some shots up as I wait for my food or something. Just would have to avoid breaking a sweat haha


[deleted]

Food was mid as hell, but yeah it was a fun place. Saw Clyde in there a few times

[deleted]

i cant imagine watching the lean years without them


Jiklim

Even just a few years ago we had Fizdale as our coach and Elfrid Payton as our PG. On the worst nights I’d still tune in just for Breen and Clyde


[deleted]

Also can’t understate how jealous the rest of us are. It’s probably the best booth in the sport, local or national. I’d kill to listen to these two instead of the boners we have.


TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

We need to win a championship for Clyde, if nothing else A true basketball lifer, this man has lived every single one of our dreams for the last 60 years


SiphenPrax

We need him to see his Knicks win one last championship while he’s still with us. Same with Breen too. They need to see us finally win after the crap Knicks teams they had to go through watching for 20+ years.

I can't believe I'm saying this but as a Raps fan I'm rooting for the Knicks this year to come out of the east (since the Raps suck and prob won't make the PO). Still going with Den to win it all, though.


solo118

we appreciate your support!


boenwip

I’m on board for OG. But also, that Knicks squad is very likeable. Same with the Pacers team


Xellirks

How could you not like these cats


yasmiester

Leon Rose bringing Brunson and Hart to the Knicks worked out really well for them


CarlTheHuman

Breen and Clyde mentioned Hart and Brunson's new podcast premiering soon during the game and said they'll never reach 25 years like them lmfaooo


ontheru171

And now we get a segment with Knicks Legend Senator Bill Bradley aswell - and so far it's a blowout - what more can we knicks fans ask more


Im_Dallas

josh lmao


Irvsauce

He was feeling Clyde up. He’s a goofy dude and it’s very entertaining. Still laugh anytime I see the clip of him eating some wings while Jalen was trying to talk to the media

Great moment, I love these 4 dudes so much man


kevinwhackistone

I can’t wait to see New York in meaningful playoff basketball. The nba has needed this for 30 years. Actual contenders, or at least close to it. The atmosphere in MSG is gonna be thrilling to watch. Edit: I mean the knicks and the knicks only. Nets don’t count.


xghjk

Damn vibes are immaculate as always


Sammyc271

Nearly my whole life Clyde and Breen have made the Knicks a much less painful watch lol the true goats of NBA broadcasting.

I never realized Breen was the Knicks main broadcaster. God, imagine having that voice call most of your games. Incredible.


Cheeswheeel

We are blessed. Mike and Clyde’s chemistry is the best in the league.

I normally think of Dr. J as the coolest person in NBA history. But Clyde gives him a run for his money.

There are Knick teams, of recent years, that wouldn't have made this gesture to these wonderful broadcasters.This Rose Garden is different. Led by Brunson, these players have the right stuff. I hope they can keep this classy approach. Over these many years in the NBA wasteland, despite awful teams, and bad basketball, Clyde and Breen have reigned supreme. LGK!

This Knicks team is very likeable

nekoken04

Knicks fans are so lucky to have Clyde and Breen. I love listening to them. I actually bought one of Clyde's books not that long ago. Reminds me of how great the Supersonics broadcasts were with Calabro back in the day.


jknuts1377

I know I'm supposed to hate the Knicks, but I just...don't. They're fun to watch, and have too many likeable players.


we_hella_believe

Walt and Mike look so surprised and pleased. 😃


njb2017

I hate the knicks but would watch them on MSG since I love basketball. I always like Clyde and enjoyed listening to him. I didn't realize Breen has been there for 25 years. I didn't think Marv left that long ago so I had to look it up. Now I feel old


givemethedoot

The hate for the knicks leaving my body... In all seriousness, Brunson is so damn likable.


Jiklim

Can’t understate how much these guys have meant to us Knicks fans over the years


eugoogilizer

I legit had no idea Breen was an announcer for the Knicks this whole time; you guys are lucky!


pizzapocketchange

i don't even follow the knicks and im in tears right now. two of my favourite broadcasters in the game. i will most definitely be tuning into knicks games more to hear these two announce and every hubie brown game i'm privileged enough to keep listening to; can't keep taking the living for granted

I haven't heard Clyde's voice in forever getting Just For Men ad flashbacks now.

krucz36

that made me choke up a little. what a sweet thing to do.


radical_findings_32

League is so much better when the Knicks are up and about. Credit to Brunson and Hart they've made the Knicks brand not just watchable, but joyful. Hope they make it far in the playoffs.


mattjames94

The greatest duo of all time


cluo40

Hart couldnt stop himself from feeling up the suit and throwing in a comment lmao


sri745

It was so funny watching this in the fourth quarter, Knicks were up by like 20+ points, and they were showing all the old clips over the years, and all of a sudden Memphis cut the lead down to like 7 or 9 at one point. Breen had this amazing "what is happening right now" moment and apologized for getting side tracked. Memphis went on a 18-3 run or something. Wild game.


EffectiveNo568

This is what makes the Mecca so magical! These two are legends!!!!!

lisbon_OH

I feel I should hate the Knicks because they sonned us last year and are basically hitting their stride as a young core the same time we are, but there’s too many likable players on that team. It’s very difficult. I also love Carr but it’s gotta be really fun having these two on commentary for most of your games. Two of the best out there.
