New York guard Jose Alvarado is declining his $4.5 million player option and intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Knicks made it a priority to retain the NY native who played key role on a historic championship team.
Humble! Hungry! Historic! Him!
Nothing but respect should be put on his name! Our Leader! Our Captain! Our Point Gawd! Mr. #JalenBrunson aka #JalenBrunsHim! It’s #Knicks, it’s been #AlwaysKnicks
It's hard to imagine a better season for Jalen Brunson.
From the opening months of the year to the final game of the season, he was at the center of everything the Knicks accomplished.
And the trophy collection is remarkable:
🏆 NBA Cup
🏆 NBA Cup MVP
🏆 All-Star Shooting Stars
🏆 ECF
🏆 ECF MVP
🏆 Larry O'Brien
🏆 NBA Finals MVP
From December through June, he consistently stepped up in the biggest moments and played the biggest role in every stage of the team's success.
Seven trophies.
One championship.
And a season Knicks fans won't forget.
