What's wild is that Brunson did all this in 2024, and ppl STILL drastically underestimated him going into 2025.
Then he did it all again the next season - putting up even better stats and taking the Knicks even further - and ppl STILL said the Knicks had no chance of winning a chip in 2026.
It's why Knicks fans who had watched this shit on a daily basis for 4 years were so confused/perplexed/pissed that JB was relentlessly disrespected by so many experts/pundits
The Knicks could keep their core together for the next 3-5 years IF Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are willing to take a pay cut, per @WindhorstESPN
KAT is eligible for a 4-year, $272M extension.
"If Karl Towns is willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you know, $7-10 million over the course of multiple seasons and Josh Hart is also extension eligible this summer, if both of them are willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you could see this core staying together for three, four, five years."
Incredible tweet.
Friends - the days of punching up are over. We look down upon the discourse. The rest of the league. We no longer have to engage. Let the rest of em grapple with this new reality.
We can just enjoy it.
The war is over.
