Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle open Friday's show by refusing to let go of the 2025-26 CHAMPION New York Knicks, debating just how worried fans should be about James Dolan's proclamation on The Carton Show about the salary cap's second apron, and wondering if Aaron Boone might just be the best manager in MLB.

The Knicks are champions, the parade glow is still fresh, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber begin the conversation every fan knew was coming: what happens next? James Dolan’s comments about the NBA’s second apron turn the celebration into a debate over money, flexibility, and how far an owner should go to protect a championship window.

Evan pushes back on the idea that any New York owner should say a check is too big, while Tiki weighs the business reality of keeping a contender together. The conversation also touches on Leon Rose’s role, the possibility of running it back with key pieces like Mitchell Robinson and Landry Shamet, fan reaction to the parade, and a caller’s throwback frustration over “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

For some reason it featured women fighting and twerking which amused social media.

Craig and Big Mac recap their experience walking through the "controlled zoo" of downtown Manhattan during the New York Knicks championship parade on The Carton Show. They reflect on the emotional weight of the victory, Jalen Brunson’s speech to the doubters, and the "now what" feeling facing fans after ending a 53-year drought.

From the national anthem to the team’s arrival with the trophy, the celebration becomes a powerful mix of nostalgia, pride, and pure citywide joy.

The speeches bring the day to life, with Mayor Mamdani honoring generations of Knicks heartbreak, memorable franchise moments, and the resilience that carried this team to a title.

The conversation captures the emotion, chaos, and disbelief of the day while also breaking down how this Knicks team was built. Evan and Tiki focus on the chip on the shoulder shared by Brunson, Hart, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Towns, all players whose former teams were willing to move on before Leon Rose brought them together and turned them into NBA champions.
