There was one exchange between Breen and Van Gundy which, I thought, perfectly explains the way I feel about them.
The camera was on Chris Rock, and the two of them were riffing on why a Knicks fan like Rock was in attendance.
Breen said, since the Knicks were out of the playoffs, Rock naturally had to find another team to root for.
Van Gundy countered by saying that no self-respecting Knick fan would ever root for either the Celtics or the Heat.
I thought their comments were quite telling: Breen is a bandwagoner, a frontrunner who gets excited about the flashy play; Van Gundy is a die-hard, a real fan who appreciates the nuances of the game.
