““There are a lot of people who always have a lot of negative things to say,” said Jalen Brunson during the celebrations in downtown New York. “There are a lot of people who are quick to judge. But when you prove them all wrong, there’s really no need to say anything else. They don’t deserve it.”

One of the most skeptical voices regarding New York’s new hero had been that of former WNBA star and Las Vegas Aces coach, Becky Hammon, who in December 2023 had claimed that Jalen Brunson was not a “top-tier” player and added that the Knicks could never win a championship with a 1.88-meter guard as their best player.
