Kevin Durant is out here making kids cry tears of joy! So the Open Run crew had to draw up their list of the players who move them to tears. Also on the menu: Joel Embiid's NBA Finals prediction, the debut of the Big Baltic Brand, the continuing concern about OKC, and David West's magical ability to make old men feel relevant.

We couldn't think of a better gift for you this morning than KING OF NEW YORK STORIES featuring the king of New York stories himself, RICHARD PRICE!

In the process, he tells us a thing or two about how to write a movie, what it's like working with Scorsese, and the kind of fruit Paul Newman most liked eating in the shower!

"SEXY/BEAST" | In the Heat of the Nighttime

 Stefan's Nighttime is back with one of Stefan's favorite musicians, Hamilton Leithauser of The Walkmen! Hamilton joins him (4:08) to share stories of early Walkmen days spent destroying pianos on tour and hiring horn sections off Cragislist, talks about his evolving approach to being a frontman, and does two beautiful acoustic performances: "Hearstruck (Wild Hunger)" (34:35) and "In a Black Out" (1:05:18). Then they're joined by Nev Schulman of Catfish (39:00) who regales them with tales of tech-crossed lovers, what he's learned in his travels talking to hoodwinked citizens across the country, and his crusade to be a good Brooklyn neighbor (which means there's a lot of talk of dead rats and abandoned cars). • Watch this episode on YouTube • Subscribe to Nighttime's YouTube channel by clicking here • Follow along on Instagram at @nighttimenyc • Watch Stefan's Nighttime on YouTube
