@createdbyjarrod Somehow I believe your stuff will be there, if it’s not, you don’t need it where you’re going. Focus on the opportunity at hand. The universe has a way of clouding crucial moments to see if you are willing to step up no matter what. This is about to create a MAJOR SHIFT for you.

I, Too
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
"When we win a championship that will rank above everything"
–– Patrick Ewing 1993 when he became the Knicks all-time leading scorer
"I want to be here when we win a championship. These fans deserve it"
–– Patrick Ewing 1997 when he signed an extension
"I've told him more than once he's a champion…He practiced & played like a champion every day he was here"
–– Jeff Van Gundy 2000 when the Knicks traded Patrick Ewing
"I'm sorry we couldn't bring a championship here. I hope one day New York will have a championship"
–– Patrick Ewing 2002 when he retired

The Brunsons aren't the only father-and-son duo with a Knicks story to tell 👀
40 years ago, Karl Towns Sr. walked into a Knicks tryout chasing the same dream thousands of New Yorkers have carried for generations…
He didn't make the team 🚫
The dream ended before it ever really began.
Fast forward four decades…
His son arrived in New York carrying the weight of championship expectations, a city desperate for basketball glory, and a 53-year title drought hanging over the franchise.
And when the final buzzer sounded, Karl-Anthony Towns wasn't just part of a championship team.
He helped deliver the title that generations of Knicks fans had waited their entire lives to see 🙌
From a father getting cut by the Knicks...
To a son helping bring a banner back to Madison Square Garden.
The Brunsons have an incredible Knicks family legacy.
The Towns family has one hell of a story too 🍿
