Apparently back when the Knicks were wooing LeBron (was that a thousand years ago?!?!??!) they made a video of celebs begging him to come to MSG, including...Tony & Carmela Soprano:
Hock sent a few cameras to Gandolfini’s apartment. When the actor appeared with a beard, he wondered how to explain it, then came up with the idea that he was in the witness protection program.
The scene had Tony and Carmela going through the real estate listings, ostensibly to find James his own place in New York City if and when he came. Hock marveled at their magnetism. It had been nearly three years since the show’s final episode aired, yet the time apart had not extinguished their flame after six seasons and 85 episodes together.
“Just to be in the room to watch them work together and zero in on a little thought, even a silly one — privilege (was) not nearly strong enough a word,” Hock said. “It was an incredible thing to witness. How LeBron James could not come to a city that Edie Falco and James Gandolfini wanted him to come is beyond me. I was told he laughed and enjoyed the scene.
Of course the beauty of this video is nobody has ever seen it and nobody knows where it is, making it the Holy Grail of Ways The Knicks Desperately Failed Getting a Good Player to Willfully Join The Knicks.
"LeBron? On the phone? Right now? Let me handle thi-hello? Hello? Hello?"
