In less than a year I became a father, I got engaged to the most incredible woman and my lifelong dream of The #Knicks winning a championship finally happened…
It doesn’t even make any sense
On with my day

Go back to 2019. Tell a Knicks fan that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving signing with Brooklyn was the best thing that ever happened to them.
Then tell them the Knicks passed on LeBron James. On purpose. And were right to do it.
Then tell them the team that said no to all of it went on to post a +283 playoff point differential, the best in NBA history. Better than the 2017 Warriors with four future Hall of Famers who went 16-1. The Knicks beat that by 53 points.
Nobody in 2019 believes a single word of that. Every bit of it happened.
Tim Hardaway Sr:
"Jalen Brunson is a superstar
And Imma tell you this
For them to put Wemby
On the cover of 2K
When Jalen Brunson
Won & beat them
Is a travesty
2K you are wrong for that
This is Jalen's Brunson's time
You give it to Jalen Brunson
He conquered the big man"
The Spurs chirped, shoved, made it personal. He never took the bait.
He was also shooting with a tendon snapping over the bone in his left wrist which required surgery three weeks later.
32.6 a night. 45 in the closeout. Unanimous Finals MVP.
He never gave them a word back. Just let his game do the talking and lifted the trophy in their own building.
@sidetalksports This is hilarious at one time Duece McBride did the same things. Now I BET he can't go anywhere without someone shouting DUECCCCCCCE!! DEM CHAMPS 🏆 YU EH KNO!!
Rhea Ripley (with Jalen Brunson chair): "I was wondering if you could sign this for me"
Jalen Brunson: "For you? Absolutely. OMG yeah"
(Signs it "To Rhea - My favorite!")
