Craig Carton Says Mikal Bridges Can WIN NBA Finals MVP for the Knicks!

**Craig Carton** (0:01)
Nick's game won! 8.30, five hours away. Tip off.
Everybody pumped up. Great for the economy too. Just walking from 35th down to Tribeca today. You can't go a city block without seeing Nick flags, Nick balloons, Nick specials, Nick promotions.
Obviously, what the Jeffreys did in the Upper East Side is genius. The Jeffreys giving you, and I've never heard of it, it looks like a smaller place on the Upper East Side. Go there, watch the Nick game tonight, and your first hundred bucks in food and drink, if the Nick's win is on the house, you just have to pay the tip and the tax based on whatever the total was, so don't be cheap about it obviously. And then what the bar did was, to hedge what they might be giving away tonight, they made a $5,000 bet on Calshee. I think the payoff is about 13 G's I think, if I have that correct, and that means everybody wins. And I think that's the future when it comes to the proliferation of sports gambling and how businesses can earn new customers by also offering things in theory for free, but back it up or backstop it by the outcome of a game. I think it's a genius move, and if I owned a bar, I would wish I would have thought of it. So everywhere tonight, it's gonna be Nick Central. It's gonna be great.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
We're gonna be out in full force to Nick fans. We're gonna try and save the alcohol industry all in one night.

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
There you go. Friday night, you and your buddies are going to a place. I'm not gonna say the name cause you wanna be mobbed by people of course.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:33)
I know.

**Craig Carton** (1:33)
You're very popular. But it is called the Continental. And you and your seven buddies will be out there drinking and eating expensive wings.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
Last time I tell you anything.

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
Unless I decide to find a place for you where the wings are less expensive.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
No, I'm good.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
You want me to call the Continental up?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:47)
No, no, no. We're good.
Come on. The wings are fine. I actually looked around. It's not that different than what everybody else.

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
It's $2 a wing. Today we had wings from the best wing place in Westchester.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:56)
They were so good.

**Craig Carton** (1:57)
We brought away some Candlelight, which is the best wing place in Westchester. Period. Stop.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:02)
Yeah, there's no argument.

**Craig Carton** (2:03)
And we got 50 wings and we paid for them. And it was very affordable.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:09)
Very affordable.

**Craig Carton** (2:10)
And I just went back and took a look. All 50 wings gone.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:13)
Gone.

**Craig Carton** (2:13)
But it was like six of us had them.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:15)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:15)
But it was perfect. They still make the best wings in town.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
Can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing some buddies.

**Craig Carton** (2:21)
But you can't charge people $2.50 a wing. Hey, what are we doing?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
Well, like the rest of New York, me and my buddies are galvanized by the New York Knicks. There's some Yankee fans, there's some Met fans, there's some Jet fans, there's some Giant fans, but we are all Knick fans.

**Craig Carton** (2:35)
That's what I'm talking about.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:35)
So we're getting together for the first time and forever really with a bunch of high school buddies.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
These are high school friends. So is Mike one of the seven?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:41)
Of course, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:42)
Big Mike's coming?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:43)
Uncle Mike is coming.

**Craig Carton** (2:44)
There you go.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:45)
Yep, looking forward to seeing him.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
Uncle Mike, and have you asked your wife just real quick about my babysitting offer? Has that come up in conversation?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:52)
I believe she heard it and texted me a bunch of HAs and I'm not sure what that meant.

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
HA.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:57)
Yeah, it was like, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
Oh, ha, like she's laughing at the notion.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:02)
Yeah, I think she was laughing at the notion.

**Craig Carton** (3:03)
So that means no.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:05)
I don't know.
I didn't run it by her. My instinct was that meant no.

**Craig Carton** (3:09)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:09)
But I mean, we'll take a look. We'll listen. I'll see what she says. Well, you let her know. She thinks, she thinks the boys would be missing us to be an unfamiliar place overnight.
