I’m glad the Knicks won so I don’t have to get irrationally angry at the league for not retroactively assessing Wemby a flagrant for the landing spot foul on Brunson. Because there’s no way they suspend him for Game 6 even if he 100% should have been.

different game, but this play was crazy, imagine if he connected

IDK what it was like prior to this playoff but I feel like his rep among players took a major hit. They'll chalk it up to inexperience but if he keeps it up moving forward nobody will cut him slack. 

 

He better go hard AF in the weight room this offseason, for several reasons.

As someone who identifies with the “long suffering fan” moniker, I’m happy for Knicks fans.

After those finals, Knicks fans can go pound sand.

I found myself liking the Knicks team, especially Brunson, but goddamn the Knicks fans made me sorry they won. Holy horsefeathers, they’re animals.

The streak of cities catching horsefeathers on fire to celebrate will never be broken

beating that spurs fan into a coma the other day wasn't the best look...

Also teams are only going to go after him more if they think they can get him to react and get tossed.

I learned this morning that Jalen Brunson went to HS in the Chicago Suburbs. 

Illini fans of a certain vintage are certainly aware given John Groce’s utter inability to land an impact point guard.  (Brunson’s then gf, now wife went to Illinois and the recruiting came down to Illinois and Nova.)

the bears winning the super bowl is the next "last" american sports story

(sorry to the bills, lions, browns, and vikings but you just don't matter that much)

They've changed their name so it loses a little luster, but the Cleveland MLB franchise would be very significant.

As a side note, a nice secondary effect of NIL in the NCAA is that following recruiting has gotten a lot less creepy. I’d rather hear about schools ponying up 85 bazillion dollars for kids’ services than who their girlfriends are or what their mom does for a living.
