Something people also tend to forget is that Brunson did actually gain something from signing early: security.
He’s a small guard and we’re less than a decade from a single injury destroying Isaiah Thomas’ long-term earning potential. He sacrificed reward to eliminate risk.
Seeing misinformed Jalen Brunson/Knicks talk in aftermath of Kawhi/LAC penalties talk. As a reminder: Jalen Brunson signed a max extension in 2024. If you compare it to max deal he could’ve signed as a free agent, Brunson left $37M on the table (details below). Leonard, per NBA report, received money outside of traditional salary cap payments as part of his first deal with LAC. Brunson was already in NY when he signed extension. (He came to NY after signing a much-maligned 4-year, $104M deal). At the risk of @PabloTorre calling me a team-friendly beat reporter, I’ll say confidently that Brunson signed his max extension with the intent to give Knicks more financial flexibility and he will be paid handsomely when he signs his next max extension with NY. So it’s silly/misguided to make any comparison to Kawhi/LAC. If I end up being wrong, feel free to come after me over this. (@OldTakesExposed). But I don’t think Brunson has a side deal with the Las Vegas Sphere. There’s no smoking gun here. sny.tv/articles/knicks-jalen…

20-30 years ago, a lot of parents of hopeful NBA players named their kids 1 of 2 names.
Those who named Jalen, named winners.
Those who named Cam, named losers.

Does Shai show up for OKC fan events?
Does Luka show up for LAL fan events?
Does Wemby show up SAS fan events?
Hali? Cade? Giannis? Jokic? Paolo? Spyda? ANYONE???
I cannot understate the magnitude of BOTH of these guys showing up to a fan organized event!

I hadn’t heard if the Spurs also won the Analytics NBA Finals or just cruised in the 46-Minute NBA Finals.

Look your killer in the face
Dylan Harper on the hardest player he had to guard:
“SGA and JDub…. We beat them, but… damn… them two kinda hard”
(h/t @Duffal0)
Uh oh Knicks twitter is grabbing hold of another Sixers fan L take about Jalen Brunson
Look at those sad ass comments too. Brunson gonna make more in NYC based endorsement $$ as a champion than the money he gave away. Jalen Brunson haunts your dreams
