New York Knicks (acts - the team is the subject of the video, their performance is discussed and affects the creator's emotional state; removing them would change the video) San Antonio Spurs (appears - the opposing team in the game, their performance is secondary to the Knicks; removing them would not change the video)

Transcript

Tonight might be one of the most important nights of my entire life. I have $27,000 on the Knicks winning the championship. It's gonna catch me out around 70k. Most y'all already know this shit. Tonight is the last game. If they win, of course. Um, the Knicks are up 3-1 right now, meaning tonight at 5:30 PM PST, they can close out the finals and lock me in $40,000. They need to do it tonight. You feel me? Like, they're gonna do it, they need to get it done tonight. I don't wanna see 3-2. I don't wanna see 3-3. Let's just end it now. Honestly, I need this. I need this. Not just for the 40k, but for the city. Everybody thought that the Knicks were getting swept. I had thousands of hate comments every single day saying the Knicks were getting swept. But I believe, I believe in the city. I'm a 30k right now, I could cash out. I would never cash out. I believe in the city and not only did my belief come, thousands of people who are from New York, people who are from New York, I've been riding with them, riding with everything I'm doing. We gotta win this not for me, but for y'all. I won the Super Bowl for 17k. During UCLA, all of that felt good, but none of it will compare to the feeling I will have today when the Knicks win. I love New York. I don't know where near in the past week and a half, the amount of love I got from the city, I love New York. It's my second home. At this point, I want to see the city flip. I want to put on this Knicks no-brainer. Then I want to go to New York and throw money at random people. Pay for the repair, but all of that depends on tonight. I will not let go of this 50k Yankee until I'm putting it on my head. If this is the last time, Knicks in five.
