Jalen Brunson took $100M out of his own pockets so the New York Knicks could re-distribute the wealth and sign critical talent needed to win a championship.
Like it or not, socialism already winning in NYC.
It’s fun that there are basically zero lessons any team can take from the Knicks. You can’t plan to rebuild by signing a guy who’s been raised from birth to be your specific team’s savior, who then becomes a superstar overnight — and THEN takes a $113m pay cut to sign his buds.
Jalen Brunson taking the pay cut to come to New York, getting his friends on the team and actually winning the Championship. One of the most gangster stories in NBA history
"Let's play basketball now. Be smart. Stick together. We've come back from worse. Chip away"
–– Jalen Brunson in the huddle before the Knicks come back in Game 4
“For a frozen moment, it looked like the game was over and the Spurs had won. Then Anunoby came flying through the lane, extended his right arm as high as it would go, and tipped the ball through the hoop. It was as beautiful an encapsulation of the majesty of sports as anything you’re ever likely to see. The seemingly impossible happened. We all got to witness it.”
— Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
watching the ten thousandth angle of the OG tip-in and just realized that the moment it went in jalen did a 180 and beelined to the bench to celebrate with josh this is so fucked up this is SO FUCKED UP
@felipebruce@NBAdoPovo ok, nao to desmerecendo eles por causa dela. nao tenho nenhum gosto especial por ela inclusive. a questao é que eles sao pessimos e rasos, e quiseram tirar onda da menina como se ela nao merecesse estar onde está. e ela merece pq faz um bom trabalho (coisa que eles nao fazem)
@felipebruce@NBAdoPovo kkk nao po, só quis dizer que acho mt bom tirarem eles pq alem de tudo sao ruins. o desrepeito com a alana é outra coisa, ridicula tambem, mas que tb tem a ver com a frustração deles por serem arrogantes (acham que merecem mais). só nao entendi o "nao entende o programa"
