I am heartbroken for the family of the man who was killed last night at a basketball tournament in Harlem. This senseless violence must stop. New Yorkers deserve to spend the summer watching and playing sports, attending community events, and enjoying our public spaces — places where families, friends and neighbors joyfully gather, not where people are at risk of becoming victims to gun violence. We are working closely with our community partners to provide services to those affected and the entire community. Our administration is using every lever across agencies to prevent further violence and ensure all New Yorkers can safely enjoy the city this summer.

Woj 2 years ago today: "In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contending franchise, Jalen Brunson has agreed to a 4-year, $156.5 million contract extension--$113 million less guaranteed than he's eligible to sign for a year from now…The repercussions of Brunson choosing 4 year / $156.5 million max deal over the 5 year / $269.1 million deal in 2025 are massive for the Knicks' ability to keep this team together & continue making roster moves to close the gap on a championship. Brunson's deal keeps the Knicks out of the 2d apron…Brunson's study of championship organizations and franchise stars -- Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs, the Tom Brady New England Patriots and the Derek Jeter New York Yankees -- gave him a blueprint for MVP-level players who structured contracts to give their teams the best chances at sustainable title runs…In the modern era, All-NBA player discounts to allow salary cap flexibility have included San Antonio's Tim Duncan taking $11 million less than the maximum in 2007 to keep Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker and Golden State's Kevin Durant taking $10 million less to keep Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala in 2017. LeBron James accepted $2.6 million less on a two-year, $101 million deal this offseason to avoid the second apron for the Los Angeles Lakers…This time, Brunson is taking a $37 million loss that comes with $113 million of total risk to chase a title with the Knicks…"
