David Stearns is the Suspect You Don’t Want
David Stearns is riding on a high-level rollercoaster, similar to what he does on a day-to-day basis, stand from an overview in Citi Field or elsewhere, feeling strongly powerful. No questions are answered for years as to why the New York Mets are dysfunctional and the team continues to suffer but one man in particular had the guts to appear on the EC3 podcast and call out not Juan Soto but indirectly, Eric Chavez.
Forget Chavez mentioning the three assistants to Stearns busy latte. Stearns has stumbled on the Mets agenda and playing keen to Steve Cohen. He has put Soto on a pedestal and forgetting the rest of the team that includes Chavez as a hitting coach (2022-25).
Chavez provided some good details as to what is wrong with the New York Mets and obviously they need to get their acts together. David Stearns is a suspect you do not want to have.
He is bitter, egotistical, and aligned with the wrong people. Instead, the Mets want to infuse hope and team chemistry.

What Went Wrong with Carlos Mendoza
Nothing went wrong with Carlos Mendoza. What truly went wrong with Mendoza is that the team was not buying in.
The team was not buying into David Stearns plan and he paid for it.
Not only did he pay for it but mostly Steve Cohen. Cohen was willing to take a huge bet from a former New York Yankees baseball coach and he paid for it.
He paid for Juan Soto with deferrals and meanwhile success did not transfer over.
This is the signs of a bad baseball team. This is what the Anaheim Angels got for keeping Perry Minasian.
The general manager did not take questions from the media and was a jerk.
I digress, maybe the New York Mets did not buy into Mendoza but so what. Mendoza will eventually succeed at another job and not feel as sorry as Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor.
Lindor felt apologetic over the entire situation and he cannot be blamed. Lindor played well one other time when he rallied the team to victories.
Lindor can start to be the leader and find the team’s true identity. Mendoza, though, was their first step forward.

Giannis is Apart of the Heat.. Now What?
Former NBA leading champion Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to be traded to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro and 3 first round picks. This comes as exciting news for NBA insiders but Miami now finds themselves in a bit of a predicament.
Even though they also acquired Bobby Portis, there have been questions about the NBA shifting landscape, motivation, and timing combined for another championship run by Giannis. Giannis is a hard player to come by.
Many scouts just do not find a player like him and he comes with very high demands and tag prices. Giannis had the possible option to go play for the New York Knicks or Boston Celtics according to league sources but Miami and Pat Riley saw the best of him.
There have been concerns about Pat Riley aging in the midst of still possessing a top head coach in Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra will most likely be able to handle the duties when he did back with Jimmy Butler.
Butler is a different animal whereas Giannis will fiddle out on his own violin of NBA defined traits.

Jalen Brunson Brings Angry Critics to an Uproar Celebration
When Jalen Brunson was 2, he never thought the Knicks dream was possible by the help of teammates such as OG Anunoby, Karl Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, and Mikael Bridges.
Rick Brunson helped Jalen up at this age whether feeding or changing diapers. That time would pass and Jalen developed strong relationships that included Bridges and Hart. Whether ordering Wingstop in the middle of a conference or enjoying simple press room bloopers, Hart was there.
Brunson was there for the heart of it. He would eventually meet his wife in school and graduate a proud Villanova Wildcat. There he not only met Bridges and Hart, Brunson would say hello and goodbye to the rich, silky, smoothiness of them all, Donte DiVicenzo.
There were many cast players who the New York mayor listed as credibly worth a mention other than DiVicenzo but Brunson.
He did not need a silver spoon. He was granted the keys to the city which was great but Brunson stood tall at the picture of hand.
There were 2 million fans flocked to see the Finals MVP to receive a strong look at what Brunson was going to say.
He said, “There is a lot of negative critics and when you prove them wrong, you don’t have to say s*** to them. They don’t deserve it.”
Simplicity at its finest. Congratulations to the 2026 New York Knicks!

Breen Cherishes the Dream!
Mike Breen cherishes the dream of a lifetime! After spending 20 years as the lead announcer for NBA ESPN on ABC, his New York Knickerbockers would go onto become just their own first franchise team since 1974 to win the Finals.
Breen respected in his roles for clutch hit-shots, delivered another excellent call when OG Anunoby tipped in the go ahead basket for a best of seven series win.
Knicks fans blaze in significant glory, and so does Breen.

What We Learned from Knicks Game 4
Last night was nothing short of a travesty. The New York Knicks won Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals and wowed the world.
Everyone in Madison Square Garden was still on their feet for most of the game as the Knicks embarked on the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. It was not easy but they found a way thanks to OG Anunoby’s iconic tip-in.
Other turnovers occurred such as D’Aaron Fox, described as ‘stupid’ by one CBS Sports highly billed spokesman. The blame was on head coach Mitch Johnson and Victor Wembanyama said after the game it is essentially time to go all in. Wemby was seen egged on social media.
While everyone was celebrating, the key none understand is that the San Antonio Spurs are still in the hunt. If they win another game or two, it is possible Game 7 will be one for the highlights.

OBJ Nearing Comeback of his Career
Odell Beckham Jr. is used to the game of football by now. He likes to run and pound as they say.
Nothing will get in his way because he is so fearlessly motivated to do great things. In a recent interview, he talked about how OBJ wanted to ultimately win a Super Bowl first in NY and that is what makes him so special this go-round.
He is a team-first player that wants to win now before his career is over. He recently took some of the Giants out to dinner.
Along that path, OBJ has started to learn some of his teammates. There are some well-equipped staff in the New York Giants locker room and it will be a matter of if and when OBJ can reap the benefits.
