Perk goes Western reporting on Knicks’ interest in Jason Kidd 🤠 | SportsCenter

and report that the Knicks are looking at Mavs coach Jason Kidd to replace Tom Thibido it sounds pretty preliminary they haven’t asked for permission to interview him kid did the interview for the Knicks before he got the job that he currently has and Tips obviously got that one this is uh interesting as we welcome in our NBA reporter Tim McMahon he’s joining us alongside Perk and Tim what more can you tell us about the Knicks and Jason Kidd well you going to say howdy first well howdy Matt uh this is preliminary this is the New York Knicks doing their due diligence on Jason Kidd among other candidates they have not approached the Mavericks to ask for permission they would have to be granted permission to interview Jason Kidd you know to to make any sort of an offer certainly uh we will see it’s a there’s an anticipation will get to the point of them requesting permission we will see if the Mavericks would grant that they are under no obligation to do so and the Knicks ability to make a trade well their draft capital those assets have been depleted significantly by the deal that they made given five first round picks for Macau Bridges last summer and again if you’re going to fire Coach Tibido right a guy a guy that’s helped build that culture and the energy and brought that energy back to New York then you have to go after a coach like Jason Kid right think about this jason Kid is a coach that he coached Jaylen Bronson so he know what Jaylen Bronson likes right jaylen Bronson is familiar with him and you have to bring someone that’s in there that’s going to be neutral that’s going to hold guys accountable and also that’s respected um you know and Tim I’m just interested to see i mean um does Jay Kid have interest as well well I would say money talks and I think the New York Knicks have a whole lot of that they do they do perk I appreciate you for everything okay i was going to say I appreciate you for everything that you just said but I really can’t concentrate yeah we hate the rails it looks great what’s wrong no they got they I’m telling y’all they got a they got a beautiful collection over here at Langsters a beautiful collection and I thought it just We’ll talk about that i thought it matched my skin tone it looks good it looks good we’ll talk about that i thought it matched my skin this is yet to lose in games one or two of these playoffs we can see how important it is for Oklahoma City to get back in the series since moving to Oklahoma City the Thunder have one series win when trailing two games to none as we now swing out to Langston’s Western wearing Oklahoma City kick some tires light some fires oh look it’s City Slickers three Tim McMahon Kendrick Perkins Jamal Collier what’s been going on there guys everything hold on matt Barry you called me out the other day you You looked at my kicks you pointed out there’s no cowboy boots you called out the authenticity of my howdy they got hats they got boots they got all kinds of stuff we came down here to get all fixed up authentically tyrese Hallebertton has been Tyrese Hallebertton has been uh on his villain kick this entire time so I figured I had to go get a black hat to match that right yeah jamal and Tim you guys match for sure i’m still a little confused about Perk’s hat situation because it doesn’t match his his suit and it also looks like it’s like a beach hat hold on hold on Christine it’s it’s nothing to that nature first of all I told you this this hat is skin tone second of all it’s not supposed to fit because it’s supposed to show the fade and if I turn to the side it shows the fade it’s the 2025 look it’s a new look Christine i would expect that out of Matt not you it’s the new look let’s ask a question i don’t know what’s going on out there could you imagine the store’s reaction when Perk walks in they’re like “We don’t have uh sir what a hat that fits you.” Okay uh let’s go to our reporters how is each team approaching game two after that drama that went down in game one well for the Thunder as they’d say around these parts they got to get back on the horse and ride and look Jaylen Williams said “It sucks but we have been here before.” Talking about getting their hearts ripped out at the end of a game one that they dominated for most of the game this is what happened to them in the second round against the Denver Nuggets when Aaron Gordon hits that three at the end of the game after the uh Thunder had blown a 12-point lead you know Shay Gilles Alexander says how you lose really doesn’t matter it’s first to four you know the Pacers got to get three more Thunder got to get four more but you know whether they lose at at the buzzer or they get blown out the Thunder have proven they can bounce back from either one of those scenarios and the Pacers are happy to be up 1 guys but they know they got to clean up a lot that first half when you got that many turnovers you give up 38 points to Shay Gillis Alexander you you they’re down 15 in the fourth quarter tyresese Hallebertton said it that’s not the formula they know they got to be better in game two they want to continue to make this a series and push this Thunder team to try to pull off this major upset but they’re certainly happy to be up 100 considering the way they played in game one and they have everybody like on this panic on this panic kick right now it’s like “Oh yeah oh the Pacers are now the favorite they’re going.” No they not everybody keep a cool booty right it’s one game it’s one game the Thunder have been in this scenario before like Tim just talked about with the Denver Nuggets and what happened to the Denver in the second game they got stomped and that’s what’s going to happen in game two the Thunder have film they’re going to build off of that and Chad Homegr is gonna be better especially on the defensive side of things everybody keep your heads off what you’re saying oh yeah keep your head remember in there though i did know that that’s kind of western remember that’s that’s a new style yeah i don’t know if I like it game two by the way Sunday 8:00 p.m eastern on ABC i can’t wait to see what you guys are wearing i can’t wait to see social media when you’re out in Bricktown tonight wearing exactly that do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
