  • Jalen Brunson Turning Heads

    Nico Harrison was big news to the public when the Dallas Mavericks first let him go of his duties as a general manager. As a former Nike executive, he oversaw one of the biggest trades in the 21st century by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 1st round pick. Doncic had such a big year by leading the league in points and converting 47.6% of his field goals.

    Doncic is truly an international legend, already, but besides him, Nico Harrison, and the newest plug to the Mavericks front office, former ESPN analyst Mike Schmitz. Jalen Brunson is turning heads in this year’s NBA postseason.

    Say what you want about Doncic, Harrison, and Schmitz, but Brunson has taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in the postseason and keeps adding to the load of potential the Knicks came off last year between the Indiana Pacers.

    If the Sixers series were to be over today (which is possible), the Knicks would face either the Detroit Pistons or Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pistons have a 2-1 lead.

    But, talk about the load of potential on Brunson. He has converted 86.4% of his free throws and is the 3rd leading PPG postseason scorer. Him and Karl Anthony Towns have been consistent without OG Anunoby in the lineup and seem to be just having fun lighting up the garden, especially the media.

    No better days could mean Mike Brown is not on the hot seat.

  • The Dormant New York Knicks

    The New York Knicks have lied dormant recently in their quest toward a NBA Finals championship. That is what James Dolan recognizes as he left the midst of a Knicks game, Monday night. The Knicks have lost 9 of their last 11.

    Carrying on this tradition, is awful so bad for the Knicks fanbase. They fired Tom Thibodeau last year and are following through with their new head coach, Mike Brown.

    Brown has gotten some flack. Knicks fans are ruthless as it be when one head coach is swapped for another. The name of the game is to win basketball games even when the coach managed Lebron James.

    There is no slight controversy as to what Jalen Brunson has assembled in his time wearing Knicks uniform apparel except criticism of breaking down the defense. He has been the proven All-Star to finish games in overtime, atop, during his prime.

    There have been Karl Anthony-Towns trade rumors following the NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons. What could the Knicks possibly want for him rather than ship multiple 1st rounders for Mikael Bridges?

    Giannis Antekounmpo has been in trade talks, also, and has separation anxiety from his brother, Thanasis, according to former NBA players that worked with him. He is a reminder of the Dwight Howard controversy if traded to New York because of the inevitable, increased hype for superstardom, also.

    The Knicks lie dormant because of many reasons besides the fact that the New York fanbase cannot make up their minds. The New York Knicks must travel to each potentialize home game and simply cheer on their team to the very end, and that includes James Dolan.
