@Captain2Corner Not exactly the hill I would wanna die on. There's unwritten rules in this world that need no explanation - it shouldn't be hard to know the difference between sunflower seeds and a lollipop in the middle of a baseball game. One is acceptable, the other isn't.
“Forget it…gonna play thru KAT as our hub at the elbow & these are the actions we're gonna use…Forget about our other flow actions-we're going to this…we're gonna wear it out”
— Knicks assistant Chris Jent on Mike Brown making change that sparked 15-1 run to the championship
@ZaidJilani It feels like the near future outcome of all this is that the incumbents will point to this behavior as the reason for not wanting to hire new grads. Around and around we go and still back at square one.
Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.
“Yo, I love this team
We can do something with this”
— Derrick Rose on trade to Knicks
First deadline move Leon Rose made
Was Derrick Rose 2021
Quickly played a huge role
In Knicks first playoffs 8 years
Then in twilight of his career
Stayed here 2 more seasons
Mentoring young guys
Like Deuce & Mitch
And earlier KAT in Minnesota.
And he was here
When Jalen Brunson arrived
JB: "He's been a great mentor to me
Unbelievable teammate
Unbelievable friend"
First JB was a kid in Chicago
Rebounding for his dad's star
“Seeing how great players work
No one's watching
I'm thinking 'I need to work harder'"
Then Jalen's in the NBA
And D Rose is cooking him
While telling him
"Keep fighting"
Then teammates in New York
JB: “A leader leads every single day
And he reminds me
I look at him
He looks at me
And it’s kind of an unspoken thing
We know what we got to do”
D Rose: "JB is a dog
The way he play
It's like a Chicago way
I'm in awe almost every night"
Today they're friends
"Can't wait to chop it up at the Shore"
D Rose posted the other day.
Derrick is Chicago
And Chicago is him
But there's always
A special place in the Garden
For this Rose
"There's a lot of people that have a lot of opinions. But when you prove them wrong, you don't have to say s--- to them."
Jalen Brunson with a message 😤
People mad this when Wemby:
- Threw Jalen Brunson’s 61 point ball in the stands
- Went on Live TV during the NBA Cup and said the Knicks don’t play “sophisticated” basketball like the Heat and Thunder (lol)
- Grabbed him by the back of the neck and shoved him
- Stuck his foot in his landing zone
- Didn’t credit the Knicks for a single win said he just needs to play “normal”
- Didn’t shake anyone’s hand
#FUCKWEMBY
GUYS so now superstitions are done and they won i can finally post this, my cousins were at game 4, and heres his perfectly timed vid of the OG Anunoby tip in😭😭😭😭😭

Jalen Brunson (45 PTS, 15 in 4Q, 29 in 2H) and the New York Knicks capture their first NBA title since 1973 🏆
This angle is still really bad he’s still stomping and just misses. I’m confused why many keep bringing up this angle like it helps Wemby’s cause
Again what is he doing? Nobody walks and stomps their leg down like that
This Jalen shot is getting a lot of criticism. Here’s why I like it:
1. It’s our best guy in rhythm, with confidence. If we lose and he took the last shot on a clean look, it’s hard to second-guess.
2. Time and score. Down 1 with 5 seconds left your only chance for 2 scoring opportunities is a quick shot. He sees daylight and pulls. If he dribbles into a tough, contested jumper there is no second opportunity and it’s a lower percentage look.
3. The Double Team. He drew 2 and pulled before they got to him. It leaves the rebounding situation at a 4-3 Knicks advantage. But even more than that…
4. Wemby’s Positioning. Brunson has Wemby all the way outside the arc and makes him irrelevant for the rebound. The 4-3 rebounding advantage becomes even bigger when your only size is out guarding the smallest guy on the court.
It’s all about percentages and opportunities.
Brunson takes a clean look (albeit deep) 3, stepping into it - I like that shot. More importantly, he takes it with 4 seconds left, leaving enough time for a second shot if they can get a rebound or a tip. Boosting their percentage of success is the double team involving Wemby outside the arc, leaving the Spurs undermanned and undersized when OG comes flying through the lane uncontested.
Go Knicks.
