Becky Hammon addresses Jalen Brunson and the Knicks winning a title:
“Jalen, all he did was prove history wrong, he proves he's an outlier, so you can put his name next to Steph Curry and Isiah Thomas, and I thought he played brilliantly, especially down the stretch.
I mean, he was that 1A dude, but like, apologize, I'm never gonna apologize for having an opinion. That's what ESPN pays me for.”

Sandra Brunson on LinkedIn: "There are moments as a parent that defy words—this was one of them.
Watching our son, Jalen, and his teammates fight their way back from a 29‑point deficit was an emotional experience I’ll never forget. Pride, anxiety, hope, disbelief—every feeling showed up at once.
In those final minutes, I honestly don’t remember much of what happened on the court. I couldn’t bring myself to watch. Instead, I listened—leaning into the sounds of the arena, the gasps, the cheers, the collective energy of the fans—letting their reactions tell the story when my eyes couldn’t.
That’s what this photo represents to me. The tension. The vulnerability. The faith. The quiet prayers happening in the loudest building imaginable.
What I do remember clearly is this: resilience is real. Belief matters. And when preparation meets perseverance, anything is possible.
So incredibly proud—not just of the comeback, but of the character it takes to keep fighting when the odds say otherwise.
💙🏆🧡
📸 Thanks to Amy (MSIL) for capturing this moment and sharing this photo days later. The feelings were real and even now, I still feel a little anxious just looking at it. What parent wouldn’t."
The weirdest part of this Spurs discourse is acting like having a double-digit lead matters more than the final score.
People are treating blown double-digit leads like moral victories. That’s not how this works 😂. Just take the L and go man. This is embarrassing now.
