Knicks need to figure out how to retain four HUGE contributors to their championship run:
-Landry Shamet
-Mitch Robinson
-De'Aaron Fox
-Jose Alvarado
Which guys should they prioritize?
Karl-Anthony Towns to Jalen Brunson:
“The first day I got here and you welcomed me here to New York, I said I want to make sure I amplify you to a whole another level that you haven't even recognized for yourself. I want to be that partner in crime that you haven't had, and I want to make sure that every step of the way, anytime you go anywhere, you're never alone. You always have someone behind you that's ready to do whatever it is to protect you, to protect this city. And I only ask for one thing in return… (points to trophy).”

Drake is a genuinely gifted, one-of-a-kind hitmaker who has released some of the biggest and most impactful songs and albums of my lifetime. But his massive commercial success has created a false equation: a lot of people assume that because he’s the biggest, he must also be the best.
In truth, there are hundreds of MCs who are simply better, with stronger albums, sharper pens, more versatile flows, superior freestyles, and more compelling features. They just refuse to water down their art into the lowest-common-denominator pop-rap that dominates the charts. Authenticity and depth rarely get the same shine as mass appeal, and that’s why the gap between “most popular” and “most elite” has never been wider.
The Knicks really had one of the most crushing losses to the Pacers last year, partied their stress away and then pulled the biggest aura gamble ever with this shit. Don’t let anyone ever forget lol
A lot of talk about how this title changes or impacts Brunson’s legacy but after this run I can never see KAT as anything other than one of the most lovable personalities in all of basketball.
Jose Alvarado really got to play for the Knicks, walk in the Puerto Rican Day parade as NBA champ, wear a terror squad chain during the parade and got the key to the city.
He's really living every New York kid's dream.
