Yah, it's a bit weird, because we're used to necromancer eat crow threads that rise from the dead, but that's usually what happens to most "eat crow" threads. The player gets good, we eat crow, the player stays good and doesn't even get blamed for not being Lebron

I love how there’s such an understated playground influence in Brunson’s game. It’s so perfect for a star in New York City.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

slow down. he's on that trajectory. from what i'm seeing, he should end his career a top 5 knick easily.

but homie just got here. despite what most of us have lived through, this team has representation of like 8 from the 50 greatest team.

of the players who didn't make a 50th or 75th anniversary team, there are guys like:

Bernard king
richie guerin
carl braun (our inaugural franchise player)
spencer haywood
bob mcadoo
tricky dick
harry the horse
allan houston
micheal ray richardson

like... i'm probably leaving some out. but a lot of legit legends put on the knick uniform and put in work.

brunson just needs some time to be in this company. i'll say he's there if he so much as completes his current 4 year deal at his current level of play. we can't even say we've seen his ceiling. he's just entering his prime. insane.

and biggest thanks to dallas FO. jalen has said on multiple occasions that he would have taken the first deal dallas offered. dallas didn't respect him enough for extension talks. didn't make an offer. could have had him for around 4/$60m. that shouldn't have even been a thought.

they also should have known we would pick up that fumble. we literally and figuratively have his family in the organization.

hey, how could you have known that the FO's explicit plan was to willfully eat a tampering charge?

Just jumping on here to add that every time I see this threat title, I expect to see a dripping wet (from sweat) brunson gif and fake cologne bottle.

True, True :lol: there really wasn’t a “normal” path to him coming to Ny. Now they need to eat another one to get Mikal here. :evil: finish the Villanova collection.

Jalen Brunson really gives off Derek Jeter vibes to me sometimes. Clutch, dependable, winner, leader, made for NYC, strong effort, willing to sacrifice his body.

Jeter, Eli, Brunson... all cut from the same cloth

All have winning in their DNA, flare for the dramatic and play their best when the games at its highest
