Julius Randle carried the Knicks on his back when he first came here. Brought winning back. No one will ever know what the winning January ‘24 Knicks would have done in 24/25… He went through ups and downs here and fans were tough on him sometimes. Who can know what it is to endure that pressure. I wouldn’t want it . But he did. Through it all his commitment to the community and the team was and is undeniable. Grateful for his time here. He is an all star and we’re lucky to have had him. Wish him all the best in Minnesota, he is going to bring a lot of toughness and grit and dedication to that team and community. 💙🧡
Julius Randle came to New York when no one wanted to
When he saw how bad it was, he didn't ask out
He talked to Leon & Wes
They ended up joining him
The next season he led us back to the playoffs
He put New York on his back
And we will never forget
Julius Randle came here in 2019 after the Knicks “missed out” on KD & Kyrie.
Ever since, he’s been nothing but a model player and person on and off the court.
3x All-Star. 2x All-NBA. The person who turned around this franchise.
His efforts will NEVER be forgotten.
Julius Randle on All-Star Voting:
“The fans who do vote for me, I appreciate it. At the end of the day, I play to win games, win basketball games. My job is to win as many games as possible, try to win the championship. I’ve always said the personal accolades, they come with all of that. That’s really not my focus.”

@DylanBacker_ Been voting for him everyday, when his era as a Knick comes to an end the fans will feel foolish for not appreciating what he’s done for our franchise.
Jalen Brunson (25.6 PPG) & Julius Randle (24.0 PPG) are on track to become the first pair of Knicks teammates to both average 20+ PPG in back-to-back seasons since Walt Frazier & Willis Reed (1969-70, 1970-71).
