An open letter from New York Knicks Point Guard Jalen Brunson to the Knicks and the community at large.
An open letter from New York Knicks Point Guard Jalen Brunson to the Knicks and the community at large.
The New York Knicks may have lost their second-round series to the Indiana Pacers, but it was hardly an outcome they could have avoided given the circumstances.
Julius Randle and Bojan Bogdanovic missed all seven games.
Mitchell Robinson got hurt in Game 1. OG Anunoby got hurt in Game 2, though he suited up in Game 7 but was pulled after just 4 minutes of play.
Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson played while injury throughout the series.
When Game 7’s final buzzer sounded, it was a shell of the Knicks that earned the No. 2 seed walking off of the Madison Square Garden court.
The defining feature of the series was the players New York didn’t have.
There’s a bitter irony to that sentiment because the players New York hasn’t had on its roster have been the team’s defining feature for decades.
When was the last time the overarching narrative surrounding this franchise wasn’t related to a superstar that never ultimately came?
The entire Leon Rose era, even after Brunson’s acquisition, has felt like the build-up to a blockbuster.
The Knicks have spent years hoarding picks and movable salaries hoping to trade for a fill-in-the-blank star.
At times, that prospective slot was filled by talks of Donovan Mitchell.
Every current and former CAA client has been on the radar at some point.
