The Ariel Helwani Basketball Show

Action Bronson


Listen Later

For almost the entirety of the 2000s, the New York Knicks haven't been a mainstay atop the Eastern Conference leaderboard like they once were in the 1990s. But with the Knicks currently leading the Cavaliers 1-0 in the first round of this year's playoffs, can we say that playoff basketball is FINALLY back in New York?


We'll see. But in the meantime, Knicks superfan Action Bronson joins his friend Ariel Helwani for a conversation about the Knicks, the NBA of new and old, and more:

  • Memories of the '90s Knicks (8:10)
  • Jalen Brunson's breakout season (19:27)
  • Why Ariel is nervous about the Knicks' playoff hopes (20:25)
  • Draymond Green's pro wrestling-style antics last night in Game 2 against the Sacramento Kings (26:55)
  • Why basketball was so much cooler in the '90s (33:40)
  • Favorite Madison Square Garden memories (43:30)
  • What New York City would be like if the Knicks won the NBA Finals (54:49)
  • Plus, Action Bronson talks about his insane basketball shoe and jersey collection, his own foray into the shoe design game, NBA arena food, this weekend's big Showtime boxing match between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis, and so much more.

  • Action Bronson is a New York-born rapper, actor, host, chef, entrepreneur, shoe artist, and overall renaissance man with 2.2 million followers on Instagram. For more information, please visit actionbronson.com.
