🔥CINEMA. The New York Knicks winning tonight was nothing short of an epic FATHER & SON story decades in the making for Jalen Brunson getting redemption for our NYK against The Spurs.
The Knicks defeated them on their home court to end the series 4-1
The Spurs defeated us 4-1 in that series 27 years ago at with Rick Brunson as a Knick at MSG.
Commentators would relentlessly tell everyone that Jalen was “TOO SMALL” to win against the top tiers.
Yet here he stands as MVP with the rest of one of the greatest relentless Knick teams ever assembled against their star player being the opposite of TOO SMALL… they now CHAMPIONS.
Jalen shows you how important humility… work ethic & family who believe in you are for an individual.
Brunson is everything you want to see in an athlete as an example for youth and the reason he is so successful is not just talent but COMPOSURE.
He is one of the most stress resilient emotionally controlled athletes I have ever seen as a life long New York sports fan.
He not only got his fathers 1999 team redemption but ALL of us New York Knicks fans. And he and that team earned EVERY win in the face of adversity.
We just watched a historic team we will remember for generations. Thank you @jalenbrunson1 & @nyknicks
