The Herd with Colin Cowherd

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff dives into Jalen Brunson’s incredible rise and the underdog mentality that has helped define his career. John breaks down why leadership, toughness, and mentality often matter just as much as raw talent when building winning teams.
John also gives a reality check on Victor Wembanyama, discussing the sky-high expectations surrounding the young superstar and what fair expectations should actually look like.
Plus, why the NBA Finals genuinely mattered this year—not just for basketball, but for the league’s broader narrative—and what made this championship run feel different. John also admits where he was wrong about Team USA Soccer and reflects on how his perspective has changed.
The episode also includes a moment to remember Aldon Smith and the impact he had on football during his career.
To wrap things up, John discusses whether firing a great coach ever truly works and what the Knicks’ championship meant to New Yorkers, a fan base that has waited decades for a title.
From sports psychology and player evaluation to championship legacy and coaching philosophy, it’s all covered on this episode of 3 & Out.

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Knicks win over the Spurs in the NBA Finals.
They start with Colin highlighting the physical play that the referees allow in the playoffs was too much for Wemby and his thin frame, and Jason argues that Wemby is built to be more of a perimeter player (3:15). Colin argues that Jalen Brunson is the greatest leader in Knicks history, and Jason explains how Brunson uses his creativity to make up for his lack of physical traits (9:00).
Colin believes that the loss will benefit the Spurs in the long run, and make them even better going forward, and they discuss how age and experience won the series for the Knicks (13:15).
Jason argues that the Spurs guards made some bad mistakes driving into the Knicks defense, and became too reliant on De’Aaron Fox taking pull up jumpers (19:00). They also debate what the Knicks will look like in a year and they both agree that the Knicks aren’t going anywhere (28:30).
They pivot to the Lakers and debate whether the should pay or trade Austin Reeves, and what type of talent to put around him should they keep him (35:45).
Finally, they discuss how everything came together in order for the Knicks to win the championship, and why it will be difficult for them to repeat (40:30).
