‼️HUGE UPDATE‼️
Knicks friends, I was honored to be asked by The Guardian to write about what Jalen Brunson means to us. I dedicate this piece to J Ellis (
@TheKOTShow
) who has done so much for me in my career and is the best Knicks fan I know. Enjoy!
Leon Rose and William Wesley understand what so many past Knicks execs haven’t: embracing the past, even the difficult parts and players (Starbury) builds bridges. Squashing beef with other agents (Klutch), execs (Masai), grants cultural capital.
This shit beyond basketball. This pasty bum bashing RJ’s character and how he was raised as an equivocation to his awful basketball skills. These bums start collecting checks and lose all sense of empathy and humility.
Some parting words from Jonathan Macri on RJ Barrett fresh off the Knicks and Raptors trade. Nothing like NBA and in particular Knicks fan media lol.

Zach Lowe ESPN: "…Brunson & Randle are averaging 50 points combined on almost 50% shooting since that 2-4 start. New York may not have a top-15 player, but Brunson is close; when both play at this level, the Knicks have 2 players in the next tier. Barrett is a nice

Knicks nation, pray for me. I took a nasty fall two nights ago and suffered a concussion. On the mend, but will be taking a break from debating bum ass Mavs fans for a while.
WALT CLYDE FRAZIER JUST SAID ON MSG THAT HE CAN BELIEVES THE KNICKS ON ONTO SOMETHING FOR REAL. LETS WIN THIS CHIP FOR CLYDE AND EVERY KNICKS FAN WHO BELIEVES.
Look away Mavericks fans: Jalen Brunson confirms he asked the Mavericks for a 4-year, $55M extension.
The Mavericks rejected him twice.

Please don't let peoples criticism not allow you to fully appreciate how incredible it is for Brunson to average 24pts a game, be a menace and the paint at 6ft, and be one of the best shooters and most clutch players in the NBA.
This is year 2 of JB leading a team! We got one!
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST:
1. Our Knicks are winning the NBA championship
2. Jalen Brunson is the best point guard in the NBA
2. Donte DiVincenzo is a future All-Star

trade deadline moves and latest injury concerns
As someone who is here only by the grace of God—I will miss Immanuel Quickley’s love of Jesus and the late 90s Allan Houston vibes he brought through his faith. Prayer is a huge part of my mom and I’s healing and IQ always reminded me to choose kindness over violence.

Yes, OG ANUNOBY has missed a ton of games. And, his health is questionable going forward.
Yes, OG is going to demand a huge contract this offseason.
BUT, OG elevates the Knicks ceiling & makes them a contender
Does anyone besides
@NYPost_Berman
still regret or doubt the OG
State is one of my favorite people on Twitter. He suffered major loss but still manages to smile and inspire others. Who GAF bout “takes,” love the person wearing orange + blue. This my guy.
I’ve struggled my whole life at being understood. The reason I’m the neighborhood guard dawg for
@TheKOTShow
is cuz J Ellis gets me better than anyone else I know. My guy makes me feel seen, heard and challenged, and for a poor punk from the hood, that’s brotherhood.
@bballgypsy
As someone who has reaped continuous entertaiment from your takes, this is by far and away, your most embarrassing. The quotes, comments reveal how in the minority you are on this, and how skewed your interpretation of reality is in the face of overwhelming disagreement.

After dunking, Denver announcers just said “Hartenstein does not have a floater game.” Next possession IHart drops a floater. These bums need new scouting reports and perhaps watch non-Nugget games.
With the playoffs and a payday approaching, OG Anunoby can prove his worth by stepping up as our second scoring option. He is the X-factor to us winning it all this year. It can happen. I’m sure OG wants to make up for being injured during Raptors 2019 chip run.

With King Julius down, this Knicks team reflects the underdawg mentality of the 99 Knicks. We could make history too, with OG Anounby providing an evolved version of LJ. Thibs was on the bench in 99. Rick Brunson was too. We still have a MVP candidate. Let’s make history.
I am spent. Mom’s surgery didn’t finish until 7, wasnt back in her room until 10, pain finally subsided from morphine at midnight. Surgery was a success. No complications. She’s in immense pain, and the recovery will be her biggest challenge but there is a path towards healing!

Brian Windhorst in his trade deadline rundown on chances the Knicks will make a significant trade: “Maybe. The Knicks could make a massive offer if a star comes to the market but they have shown patience waiting for the perfect move”
Denver announcers comment snidely on how, “Thibodeau loves to play his starters big minuets.”
The Knicks five starters played an average 34.2 mins. The Nuggets five starters played an average 36.4.
Overly simplistic take. In Thunder 2.0, Presti has struck out on every non-Lottery pick he’s made. Every. Single. One. He also had Sengun in 2020 and flipped him for…..Poku. Do your research kids.
Thibs on Mitchell Robinson: “Once they clear him, you’ll see him…But each day, he’s doing a little bit more. He’s lifting. He looks like, I don't know, bodybuilding…He'll be in the pool, he’ll be on the bike & then eventually get to be where he can shoot. He’s shooting a little
I’ve gotten to where it’s really hard to talk Knicks with bums who watch only nationally televised games and construct their entire asscrack narrative out of it.
The Villanova trio’s unheralded level of continuity allows for Brunson to play like the best player in the NBA, and Divo + Hart to play like stars. We have never seen a trio like this, with this level of familiarity and chemistry that goes back almost a decade.
Gotta give flowers to my favorite Mavs podcast and host
@BiasedSlightly
who is a refreshing POV in
#mffl
land. He’s hilarious, smart, and most importantly—original. He’s changing the way we think about fan-made content with his 1 of a kind show:
The way he leaned into Tobias to create space in left corner, before pulling up for a knifing three? We ain’t seen that kinda physical ability since Melo.
Early May marked two years without alcohol. As someone who had been crushing beers since 17, and enjoying cocktails and whisky for over 15 years, I did not want to enter my 40s repeating the same habits as my youth. For this accomplishment, there is no one to thank but Yahweh.
Mark Cuban’s right hand man goes to the same Dallas coffee shop as me. I told him to give Knicks nation’s thanks for fucking up on Jalen Brunson. He walked out quiet as it’s kept.
As well—that corny ass Obama comp exposed sum latent neo-Liberalism under that goatee. Obama must be the only articulate, media trained Black person he can think of. Who the fuck talks about Black people that way!?!?!?
