James Harden is unquestionably better at basketball than Jalen Brunson, but if you told me I had to pick one of them to win me a playoff series, I am picking Jalen Brunson.
Lowkey it would not shock me if Mikal came out next season and had the best year of his career now that the weight of that trade has been lifted off his shoulders
Jalen Brunson took $100M out of his own pockets so the New York Knicks could re-distribute the wealth and sign critical talent needed to win a championship.
Like it or not, socialism already winning in NYC.
Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.
Former Knicks who shall not go unthanked:
Julius Randle
Derrick Rose
Tom Thibodeau
Taj Gibson
RJ Barrett
Immanuel Quickley
Evan Fournier
Kemba Walker
Precious Achiuwa
Isaiah Hartenstein
Keep seeing people say if guys like Harden, CP3, Westbrook ect had the team Brunson had around him that they’d all have rings but last I checked none of them took 113 million dollar pay-cuts to make it happen. They chose money over rings, that’s their legacy, not Brunsons.
