Knicks Take Over ? Brunson’s Dominance, Jaxson Dart’s Derby Drip & Steph Curry’s $62M Complaint
The Knicks are absolutely electric, and we’re bringing in a special guest to break it all down! On this episode of Kicking and Screaming, Bianca and Lou are joined by none other than Bianca’s Dad for some old-school perspective on a new-school New York takeover. We’re manifesting that 2-0 series lead as the Knicks head down the turnpike. Will the NY faithful completely take over the 76ers arena? Plus, we have to talk about Jalen Brunson ascending to deity status and literally putting the entire city on his back. Then, we switch gears to New York’s new fashion icon: Giants QB Jaxson Dart. After showing up to the 2026 Kentucky Derby in a white pinstripe suit and taking home the "Best Dressed Gentleman" title, we debate—is Dart officially becoming the biggest personality in NY sports? Finally, we tackle the hottest debate in the business of sports. Steph Curry makes $62 million a year, but recently claimed NBA players are underpaid because they don't get franchise equity. Is he completely out of touch with reality, or is he actually making a genius point about billionaire owners reaping all the long-term rewards?
