On the thirty-seventh episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, XJ welcomes first-ever guest co-host Gavin Schall of Locked On Knicks! Together, they break down why the Knicks’ recent games signal a seismic shift in their identity—and why the rest of the league should be paying attention.
Using film and advanced metrics, XJ reveals how New York’s faster pace, elite three-point shooting, and modernized offensive approach are unlocking their full potential. Could this version of the Knicks be the most dangerous team we’ve seen in years? Plus, hear their deep dive on OG Anunoby’s breakout, Jalen Brunson’s evolution as a passer, and what Mikal Bridges needs to fix for the Knicks to reach their ceiling.
This is an episode Knicks fans won’t want to miss—because what’s happening in New York right now is special.
