McEnroe told Mason native Dan Patrick that the "Seinfeld" creator and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star didn't sound like he wanted to stick around when the Knicks were down big, before they rallied for the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.
"That was one of the all-timers. … I'm sitting next to Larry David in the game last night," McEnroe said June 11 on "Dan Patrick Show." "And we have a tendency to get a little down on things when things are not going our way. Well, here we go again, same as the last time. And I had this feeling this time. I said, 'Larry, we've got to get a little more positive here. You know, we're not out of it yet.' We're 30 down, it's just a train wreck. … I'm just trying to talk myself into it. … It gets to a point where you get so discouraged you can't do it."
"And we were approaching that," McEnroe continued. "But we weren't there yet. So this like miracle of miracles somehow occurred. … So Larry's like, 'Let's get out of here. I can't handle this anymore.' And I'm like, 'Larry, take a deep breath here.' And by the end of it, it was like divine intervention or something. … (Because) the Spurs' shots (weren't) falling, the crowd started getting more and more into it. Absolutely electric, by the end of it. And then (for) OG (Anunoby) to do that tip-in. He saved us, is the bottom line."
Singer/songwriter Noah Kahan, who is scheduled to visit Cincinnati in early July, tweeted a joke about being "a Knicks fan since May."
