She's into superstitions. Black cats and blue dolls. Good morning, my fellow New Yorkers. Let's go, Knicks. What you may have heard as I walked on was Ricky Martin's Living La Vida Loca was the number one song in the country the last time the Knicks were in the Finals. Her lips were devil red and her skin is the color mocha. I'm just saying. Yes. New Yorkers are partying like it's 1999, with the Knicks earning their spot in the NBA championship by sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers. (05:38–05:49)
