Me at work today after watching the Knicks interviews:
“How was your weekend?”
“Not looking to the past, just focused on today and how I can help the team win”
“Are you ok?”
“Not worried about myself, only what I can do to facilitate winning”
“Can someone check on Joe?”
EXCLUSIVE: @ReeveWill speaks with Knicks star Jalen Brunson and his father, Rick Brunson, a former NBA player and current Knicks assistant coach, about the game, the Finals, and their relationship on and off the court.
Knick fans really made sure the Knicks didn’t play any road games during the playoffs… Listen to the crowd pop after Mikal Bridges hits the corner 3️⃣🗣️💀
The Knicks sweep these boys, and you have to put them in the conversation of one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Nobody wins fifteen playoff games straight for the Larry. Conversations will be uncomfortable
In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN --- $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year.
It's going to get lost because of what came next... but 6-2 Jalen Brunson tied an NBA Finals game on the road with 40 seconds remaining with a Dirk one-legged step back.
Like this is an all-time Finals shot... and he's already made several of those.
“He was criticized in Minnesota. He was criticized in New York. But the MVP of the Finals is gonna be Karl-Anthony Towns. He played two of the best games I’ve ever seen a big man play. That man earned his flowers.”
Charles Barkley with the highest praise for the Knicks center.
