Jalen Brunson sacrificed over $100 million to give the Knicks a better chance to compete for a title.
Tonight he’s an NBA champion and a legend in New York for life.
Whew, thank goodness Mitch just took Harper out of the game. He's played 20 whole minutes tonight. Probably exhausted. He's only 8-12 while Fox & Castle are 2-16. Not like he was taking over the game.
Charles Barkley is right: The Spurs have to bench Fox. Can’t be worried about his feelings. Harper is by far the more effective guard and is playing much more poised basketball. Not sure what Mitch Johnson is waiting for. Playing thru Fox doesn’t maximize their odds of winning.
De'Aaron Fox in the NBA Finals:
24-of-70 FG (34.2%)
7-of-28 3PT (25%)
Fox in the 4th quarters this series:
0-of-2 FG in Game 1
2-of-2 FG in Game 2
2-of-6 FG in Game 3
1-of-5 FG in Game 4
0-of-4 FG in Game 5
From Nova to Nueva York 🤝
Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, & Josh Hart are the 1st teammate trio to win both an NCAA title (2016 Villanova) & an NBA title (2026 Knicks),
What I looked like the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship.
