Not many people know that New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and former NBA star Andre Iguodala have known each other for years.

These days, Brunson is having a great season with the Knicks, while Iguodala is enjoying his retirement after a 19-year career.

Iguodala debuted with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2004 when they selected him as the No. 9 pick. In 2006, the team added Brunson’s father, Rick Brunson, to the preseason roster. That’s when the lives of the younger Brunson and Iguodala intertwined.

On the “Roommates Show,” Brunson, 29, recalled a story when he was rebounding for the 76ers during a shootaround, and he accidentally peed on Iguodala.

“I think of it like this: If the ball goes in the hoop and you see where that ball came from, you give it back to the guy who made that shot,” the lefty guard said.

“So I’m pretty sure you made a shot, and I’m thinking, ‘Right back at him.’ You looked away for a second, and swiftly, he got hit in the head, hit you in the head. I went, ‘Oh s***.’ You were hot. You didn’t look back at me. He was hot. I was very scared.”

Iguodala said he did not remember it happening, but he was intrigued by Brunson’s story.

The elder Brunson, an assistant coach with the Knicks, was omitted from the final roster that year. Meanwhile, Iguodala had a breakout campaign averaging 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and five assists.

Twelve years later, in a full-circle moment, Iguodala, then with the Golden State Warriors, played against the young Brunson for the first time when he was a rookie on the Dallas Mavericks.

No Jalen Brunson, no problem. Even without their key player, the New York Knicks recorded an easy 136-110 win over the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

Brunson missed the game with an ankle injury and a neck strain. He had not missed a competition since January.

A big factor in the Knicks’ victory was Jose Alvarado, who replaced Brunson in the starting lineup. He scored 16 points on 5 of 10 shooting, including four three-pointers, two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.

Before tip-off, Alvarado was introduced as being from Christ the King High School. Players are usually introduced to their alma mater in college. When SNY asked about this, they told a slight change felt appropriate.

“I just wanted to show love for the school in the city where I went. Thanks to my college, I’m definitely grateful for my college. But the debut at The Garden was meant to represent the city where I grew up,” explained Alvarado, who was born and raised in Brooklyn.

The 27-year-old guard played four years at Georgia Tech, earning two All-ACC team honors and winning the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2021.

Alvarado has been a solid midseason pick-up for the Knicks, providing instant energy, defensive intensity and shooting off the bench. In 18 games, he has averaged 6.2 points, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 17.0 minutes.

He’s a perfect fit for the Knicks’ culture, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he earns a bigger role in the playoffs.

Despite the New York Knicks defeating the underdog Golden State Warriors 110-107 on Sunday, there are some who are concerned about the close result due to the opponent missing key players like Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and others. As serendipitous as some may find the Knicks’ win over the Warriors to be, some are disappointed, such as Stephen A. Smith, who explained how the recent struggles are Jalen Brunson’s fault.

While some may hear this and react angrily, it’s not because it involves his impact on the court, which can’t be denied as he scored 30 points on Sunday, but it has to do with Mikal Bridges. There’s no denying how disappointing Bridges has been, especially in the last six games, with scores in single digits in five of them.

Smith would say Brunson was the reason New York made the trade for Bridges in the first place, which led to a massive return, including the team giving up four first-round selections, which did not pan out.

“Why did they do that? They did that because, instead of waiting a year and signing a five-year, max $270 million extension, Jalen Brunson signed a four-year, $156 million extension a year ago, giving the New York Knicks $113 million in free space around that cap. So what do the New York Knicks do? Obviously, he saves them that kind of money. He did it so they could take his guy,” Smith continued.

“The person I’m blaming most for all of this is Jalen Brunson… I had the Knicks going to the Finals… and the reason for that is if Mikal Bridges continues to look like he’s looking, this is going to turn out to be a terrible trade.”

While Smith further states that Bridges is no “scrub”, he believes that the move to acquire Bridges and what New York gave up has put a “handicap” on the Knicks.

Smith said, “You can’t let your organization sacrifice so much to get a guy that will ultimately keep you from building a roster that can compete for championships.”

At any rate, New York is 44-25, leaving them in third place in the Eastern Conference with their next game against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.

At one point, the New York Knicks’ game against the Utah Jazz was not looking good, as they found themselves in a big loss that almost kept superfan Ben Stiller from watching, before Jalen Brunson’s heroics saved the team.

At the beginning of the game, Stiller took to Twitter to discuss his discomfort in watching the Knicks lose early against the Jazz, writing, “Couldn’t watch for 10 minutes – feels like we finally remembered we’re the NY Knicks.”

Ultimately, New York came out on top, and a lot of that can be attributed to Brunson’s performance. Thanks to Brunson’s performance, they won by 17 points, which initially seemed impossible. He scored 28 points and had four rebounds and eight assists.

Stiller didn’t let his heroics go unnoticed, giving the point guard a shout-out, writing, “Brunson really stepped up [in the] Second half],” after the game.

Jalen Brunson leads Knicks comeback against Jazz

After the first quarter of the Knicks’ game against the Jazz on March 11, New York was down by 15 points, and lost 41 points. Even at the half, they were down 65–56.

Fortunately, they turned things around in the second half, outscoring the Jazz 40–29 in the third and 38–23 in the fourth. It was a much-needed win on the road for the Knicks, who are just 19-16 on the road this year.

Brunson made the biggest splash, but he wasn’t the only impact player. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 21 points and was extremely efficient, making eight of his 13 shots. OG Anunoby also scored 22 points while making 70% of his shots from the floor and all five of his free throws.

Jordan Clarkson also scored 27 points off the bench. In 26 minutes, Clarkson made 10 of his 15 shots with four free throws. Clarkson is averaging only 8.9 points per game this year, so this was a phenomenal performance for the guard.

有一次，纽约尼克斯队对阵犹他爵士队的比赛看起来并不好，因为他们发现自己陷入了困境，这几乎让超级球迷本·斯蒂勒（Ben Stiller）不敢观看，直到杰伦·布伦森（Jalen Brunson）的英雄事迹拯救了球队。

比赛一开始，斯蒂勒就在 X（以前的 Twitter）上讨论了他对观看尼克斯队早早输给爵士队感到的不适，他写道，“无法观看 10 分钟 – 看来我们终于记起了我们是纽约尼克斯队。”

最终，纽约脱颖而出，这很大程度上要归功于布伦森的表现。由于布伦森的表现，他们以 17 分获胜，这在早期看起来是不可能的。他拿下28分、4个篮板和8次助攻。

斯蒂勒并没有让他的英雄事迹被忽视，他对这位控卫点赞了X。他写道：“布伦森真的挺身而出 [in the] 下半场]”，赛后。

贾伦·布伦森带领尼克斯队逆转爵士队

3月11日尼克斯队对阵爵士队的比赛第一节结束后，尼克斯队就落后15分，丢掉41分。即使进入半场，他们仍以65-56落后。

幸运的是，他们在下半场扭转了局面，第三节以40-29、第四节以38-23领先爵士队。对于尼克斯队来说，这是一场急需的客场胜利，他们今年客场战绩仅为 19 胜 16 负。

布伦森引起了最大的轰动，但他并不是唯一有影响力的球员。卡尔-安东尼-唐斯拿下21分，效率极高，13投8中。 OG阿努诺比也拿下22分，投篮命中率达到70%，罚球全部命中。

替补出场的乔丹·克拉克森也得到27分。上场26分钟，克拉克森15投10中，并罚球4球。克拉克森今年场均只能得到8.9分，所以这对于后卫来说是一个出色的表现。

The Los Angeles Lakers have picked up momentum over the past few weeks, returning to their Big-3 form and winning four of their last five games. While the occasional defensive lapses are still present, the Lakers’ core men certainly seem to be having fun even without LeBron James, as evidenced by Luka Doncic’s clip from the New York Knicks’ trip to Crypto.com Arena.

Doncic and company got off to a fast start and finished the first quarter 31-23, in what has proven to be a tough day for offenses since then. According to a post on X by ClutchPoints, the Slovenian drew a foul from former Dallas Mavericks teammate Jalen Brunson after driving inside, and couldn’t help but laugh immediately afterward.

James missed his second consecutive game due to a left elbow injury. However, even in his absence, the Lakers looked comfortable offensively for most of the night.

Doncic had a game-high 35 points with eight rebounds and four assists. However, he was only 11-25 from the field and 5-16 from the three-point zone.

Austin Reeves had 25 points, five assists and four rebounds, while DeAndre Ayton looked more willing to be the defensive lynchpin, finishing with six points on 3-4 shooting with eight rebounds in 20 minutes. Luke Kennard provided cover off the bench, playing 27 minutes and finishing with 12 points and two rebounds.

The Lakers were only slightly better from the field than the Knicks, shooting 42.7% overall. However, they were vastly better from beyond the arc, converting 15 of their 44 three-pointers (34.1%), while the Knicks shot 8/34 from the three-point zone.

This win will help the now 38-25 Lakers keep distance from the Phoenix Suns. They are now just a half game behind the Denver Nuggets in 5th place with a 39-25 record.

For New York, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with a team-high 25 points and 16 rebounds on 8-17 from the field. Jalen Brunson followed closely with 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds on 8-19 shooting.

前 NBA 球员钱德勒·帕森斯向尼克斯队的贾伦·布伦森和主教练迈克·布朗发出友好警告，指责俄克拉荷马城雷霆队全明星谢伊·吉尔杰斯·亚历山大在周三以 103-100 输掉比赛的比赛中犯规。在这场势均力敌的比赛结束后，布朗对雷霆队的吉尔吉斯-亚历山大的上罚球能力进行了讽刺性的称赞。

帕森斯向布朗解释了原因 抱怨裁判 根据 FanDuel TV 的 Run It Back 节目，他表示，这对尼克斯队来说并不好看。

“当你把比赛带入防守时，你是一支身体素质更强的球队，你打出第一拳，并创造出接触，这通常就是你得到哨子的方式，”帕森斯说。 “SGA 在接到这些电话方面表现出色。令我困惑的是，迈克·布朗想要为贾伦·布伦森接到这些电话，而他通常会接到这些电话。现在要小心，因为你的首发控球后卫也会做同样的事情。如果没有，甚至比 SGA 更擅长。

“因此，请谨慎要求减少哨声，因为这也是杰伦·布伦森进攻比赛的重要组成部分。”

“小心点……你的控球后卫（贾伦·布伦森）也会做同样的事情，即使不比 SGA 更好！” 🗣️

吉尔吉斯-亚历山大罚球线7投7中，堪称完美。他16投9中得到26分和8次助攻。尼克斯队全明星贾伦·布伦森今晚的投篮表现很糟糕，他 18 投 5 中，其中三分球 5 投 1 中，三分线 6 投 4 中。卡尔-安东尼·唐斯在周三的失利中拿下两双（17分、17个篮板）带领尼克斯队获胜。

尼克斯队输球后，迈克·布朗 (Mike Brown) 向 SGA 提出犯规诱饵指控

尼克斯队全明星贾伦·布伦森在赛后接受媒体采访时对裁判进行了批评。当记者询问他脸上的黑眼圈时，布伦森表示这很可能与未接电话有关。布伦森暗示雷霆队战胜了尼克斯队，赢得了裁判的认可，这是一个持续的主题。

感觉主教练迈克·布朗的赛后评论为尼克斯队定下了基调

“SGA，他是一个强硬的掩护，”布朗在进行批评之前承认。 “他在让裁判相信他被击中方面做得很好，可能比联盟中的任何人都好。”

尼克斯队希望在周五对阵掘金队的比赛中反弹。

Former NBA player Chandler Parsons sent a friendly warning to the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson and head coach Mike Brown after accusing Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of a foul play in Wednesday’s 103-100 loss. After a tight contest, Brown gave the Thunder’s Gilgeous-Alexander backhanded praise for his ability to get to the line.

Parsons told Brown the reason complaint about caretaker It’s not a good look for the Knicks, he said, according to FanDuel TV’s Run It Back.

“When you make the play on defense, and you’re the more physical team, and you throw the first punch, and make contact, that’s usually how you get the whistle,” Parsons said. “SGA is phenomenal at getting those calls. The confusing thing to me is that Mike Brown wants these calls for Jalen Brunson, and he usually gets them. Now be careful because your starting point guard does the same thing. If not, it’s even better than SGA.

“So, be careful with low whistles because that’s a big part of Jalen Brunson’s offensive game as well.”

“Tread lightly…your point guard (Jalen Brunson) does the same thing, even if he’s not even better than SGA!” 🗣️

Gilgeous-Alexander was an excellent 7 of 7 from the free-throw line. He finished with 26 points on 9-for-16 shooting and eight assists. Knicks All-Star Jalen Brunson had a tough shooting night, making 5 of 18 attempts, including 1 of 5 from deep and 4 of 6 from the charity stripe. Karl-Anthony Towns’ double-double (17 points, 17 rebounds) led the Knicks in Wednesday’s loss.

Mike Brown accuses SGA of wrongdoing after Knicks loss

Knicks All-Star Jalen Brunson took a shot at officiating during his postgame media availability. When a reporter asked about the alleged black eye on his face, Brunson said it was probably related to the no-call. Brunson, pointing to the referees in the Thunder’s win over the Knicks, was an ongoing theme.

It seemed as if head coach Mike Brown set the tone for the Knicks with his postgame comments

“SGA, that’s a tough cover,” Brown admitted before addressing the criticism. “He does a very good job of convincing the refs, probably better than anyone in the league, that he’s getting hit.”

The Knicks will look to bounce back in their matchup against the Nuggets on Friday.

The New York Knicks did not have enough effort to overcome the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they lost 103–100. In close games like this, sometimes one or two things happen that change the trajectory of the game, and for the Knicks, they believe it was the referees that had a lot to do with the outcome.

After the game, head coach Mike Brown talked about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his ability to manipulate the referees into thinking he was being fouled.

“SGA, that’s a tough cover,” Brown said. “He does a very good job of convincing the refs, probably better than anyone in the league, that he’s getting hit.”

The one thing people have always criticized about Gilgeous-Alexander is his game and how he gets to the free-throw line. Against the Knicks, he only attempted seven free throws, as that number has been higher at times.

Jalen Brunson took it further when talking about the refs, but they had physical evidence of a foul that probably should have been called. Brunson had a black eye and after the game a reporter asked him about it.

“Probably no call,” Brunson said.

There may be a possibility that Brown may receive a letter in his mailbox, but Brunson may be safe. Either way, it’s clear that both of them were not fans of how the game was being run against them.

It seems like the way the Thunder play, especially on defense, has made a lot of people fall for them and made them difficult to stop. When teams try to copy what he does, it usually results in foul play, which has been frustrating for some throughout the season.

The Knicks didn’t let them bother them much during the game and they still managed to give themselves a chance in the end.

New York Knicks star guard Jalen Brunson made franchise history by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 127-98 on Friday. The 29-year-old surpassed 7,000 points in the first quarter of his 265th game with New York, becoming the fastest player to reach the milestone in team history.

Brunson finished with a game-high 27 points in 31 minutes, shooting 11 of 17 from the field (64.7%), 4 of 6 from three-point range and 1-of-2 at the line. He also contributed seven rebounds and three assists. He exploded for 22 points in the opening quarter, including 9 of 10 shots and all three of his three-point attempts. The 22-point burst was the second-most points in a first quarter in franchise history, one short of his own record set against Milwaukee on January 12, 2025. It was the 10th 20-point quarter of his career, recorded as a Knicks, and the highest-scoring quarter by a New York player in any span this season.

In 55 games this season, Brunson has averaged 26.7 points, 6.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game, while shooting 47.1% from the floor and 37.6% from three-point range. He finished February averaging 23.8 points, 6.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 2.4 made threes and 0.8 steals in 35.6 minutes per game. Since signing with the Knicks as a free agent in 2022 after four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Brunson has earned three consecutive All-Star selections, two All-NBA Second Team honors, and led the Knicks to their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years last season.

New York shot 21 of 42 (50%) from three-point range and 60% overall in the first half, while leading 77–57 at halftime. The Knicks committed 16 turnovers resulting in 19 points and all five starters scored in double figures for the 15th time this season. OG Anunoby scored 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting, Karl-Anthony Towns added 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Landry Shamet hit five threes for 15 points.

The Bucks, who had won eight of their last 10 games and were playing their fifth game in eight days, played without Giannis Antetokounmpo (right calf strain), who missed his 14th consecutive game.

New York picked up an important win over a sub-.500 Milwaukee team. Next, the Knicks will host the Western Conference’s No. 2-seeded San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

纽约尼克斯队明星后卫贾伦·布伦森在周五以 127-98 击败密尔沃基雄鹿队的比赛中创造了球队历史。这位29岁的球员在与纽约队的第265场比赛中第一节就突破了7000分，成为球队历史上最快达到这一里程碑的球员。

布伦森上场31分钟，17投11中（命中率64.7%）拿下全场最高的27分，三分球6投4中，罚球线2投1中。他还贡献了7个篮板和3次助攻。他在首节就爆发了22分，10投9中，三分球全部命中。 22分的爆发是球队历史上第一节的第二高分，距离他自己在 2025 年 1 月 12 日对阵密尔沃基队时创下的纪录还差一分。这是他职业生涯第10个单节拿下20分，全部是在尼克斯队期间取得的，也是本赛季纽约球员单节得分最高的单节。

本赛季，布伦森出战55场比赛，场均贡献26.7分、6.1次助攻、3.4个篮板和0.7次抢断，投篮命中率为47.1%，三分命中率为37.6%。 2月份结束时，他场均上场35.6分钟，得到23.8分、6.7次助攻、4.5个篮板、2.4个三分球和0.8次抢断。自从在达拉斯小牛队效力四个赛季后，布伦森于 2022 年以自由球员身份与尼克斯队签约，此后他连续三年入选全明星，两次入选 NBA 最佳阵容二队，并在上个季后赛带领尼克斯队时隔 25 年首次闯入东部决赛。

纽约队上半场三分球命中率 42 投 21 中（50%），整体命中率 60%，半场以 77-57 领先。尼克斯队制造了 16 次失误，最终得到 19 分，并且本赛季第 15 次所有五名先发球员得分上双。 OG阿努诺比10投8中得到24分，卡尔-安东尼唐斯得到17分和13个篮板，兰德里沙梅特投中5个三分球得到15分。

雄鹿队在之前的 10 场比赛中赢了 8 场，这是八天内的第五场比赛，但扬尼斯·阿德托昆博（右小腿拉伤）缺席了比赛，后者连续缺席了 14 场比赛。

纽约队战胜了低于 0.500 的密尔沃基队，取得了一场重要的胜利。接下来，尼克斯队将在周日主场迎战西部二号种子圣安东尼奥马刺队。

纽约尼克斯队卫冕“年度最佳关键球员”贾伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 已经成为 NBA 的顶级天才，赢得了队长头衔，并在世界上最著名的球馆里打球。然而，早在布伦森成为纽约之王之前，他就作为伊利诺伊州有史以来最好的高中篮球运动员之一开创了传奇的职业生涯。布伦森 (Brunson) 继续推出近期的 Nike Kobe PE 系列，以 Nike Kobe 4 向史蒂文森爱国者队致敬。

New York Knicks’ reigning ‘Clutch Player of the Year’ Jalen Brunson has already established himself as a top talent in the NBA, earning the title of captain and playing on the most famous arena in the world. However, long before Brunson became King of the Big Apple, he had a stellar career as one of the best high school basketball players in the state of Illinois. Continuing his recent Nike Kobe PE series, Brunson pays homage to the Stevenson Patriots with the Nike Kobe 4.

Jalen Brunson hails from New Jersey, but moved during his youth and attended Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Brunson’s accolades all four years have been high, including Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year (2014, 2015), three-time All-State selection, McDonald’s All-American (2015), Illinois Mr. Basketball (2015), and leading Stevenson to its first boys basketball IHSA 4A state title.

Honoring his illustrious career as a Stevenson Patriot, Brunson launches a new Nike Kobe 4 PE sneaker in the color scheme of his alma mater. Brunson notably decided to forgo his own signature sneakers with sponsor Nike and instead has an endless supply of the late great Kobe Bryant’s signature sneakers at his disposal.

Appearing in a predominantly White base above the iconic Nike Kobe 4, we see prominent hits of Yellow across the front medial and outsole, along with a plastic heel support. The toe, tongue, side panels, sockliner and rear half of the midsole are dressed in clean white, contrasted by forest green flywire on the side panels. The Nike Swoosh comes in a Shiny Metallic Green colorway framed by Gold and matching Black Mamba logo on the tongue.

Enhanced details include Kobe Bryant’s No. 8 and No. 24 embossed in leather on both heels as well as Bryant’s signature in green on the rear heel support. The finishing touch comes in the form of a tab on the inside of the tongue that reads ’15 State Champs’, modeled after the championship banner that Brunson helped raise in 2015.

While it is still unknown whether or not this sneaker will be released to the public, Jalen Brunson has already made a splash in-game and we have seen a steady rhythm of his actual player exclusive releases to the public.

纽约尼克斯队在 NBA 交易截止日期前的重大举措是从新奥尔良鹈鹕队收购何塞·阿尔瓦拉多，以换取达伦·特里和两个第二轮选秀权。阿尔瓦拉多对尼克斯队的重要性在周六尼克斯队以 108-106 战胜休斯敦火箭队的比赛中表现得最为明显。据 SNYtv 报道，赛后，尼克斯队球星贾伦·布伦森搞笑地反驳说，他从未将何塞·阿尔瓦拉多视为对手。

“和他一起玩更有趣，”布伦森说。 “对阵他时，我真的不知道他在另一支球队。你们可以告诉他我也这么说过。”

抛开所有笑话不谈，阿尔瓦拉多在战胜火箭队的比赛中的影响不容小觑。阿尔瓦拉多可以说是本场比赛中表现最好的防守球员，他悄悄地爬到火箭球星凯文·杜兰特身后，用他获得专利的偷袭动作之一将球传出。然后他将球从东海岸带到西海岸，并在塔里·埃尔森身上上篮，将休斯顿队的领先优势缩小到2分，103-101。

阿尔瓦拉多替补出场总共20分钟，得到8分、1个篮板、4次助攻和全场最高的5次抢断。他投篮9投3中，三分线5投2中。

自交易以来，阿尔瓦拉多作为替补控球后卫为尼克斯队出战了五场比赛，场均出场时间略多于20分钟。他场均得到职业生涯最高的11.2分、2.2个篮板、4.0次助攻和2.6次抢断，投篮命中率为42.6%，三分球命中率为37.5%，罚球命中率为66.7%。

阿尔瓦拉多在 2021 年 NBA 选秀中落选，他的整个职业生涯都在鹈鹕队度过。现在，他帮助尼克斯队在东部联盟闯入季后赛。

NEW YORK – Jalen Brunson was the NBA’s 2025 Clutch Player of the Year for a reason. On Saturday night against the Houston Rockets, he added to his crunch-time resume by finalizing New York’s 18-point comeback. It took almost half of the third quarter for Brunson to make his first field goal, but the final six minutes of the fourth quarter were his showcase.

New York reduced Houston’s lead for the first half of the fourth quarter with Brunson on the bench. The guard entered the game with 6:27 left, shooting 4-4 ​​from the floor and knocked down the lead-taking mid-range jump shot with 29.5 seconds remaining. It was the guard’s 14th game-tying or go-ahead save since joining the Knicks’ roster, good for second in the NBA in that span.

According to ESPN, Brunson trails only DeMar DeRozan in that regard. The superstar guard told reporters after the game that, despite the game’s make-or-miss reputation, his fourth-quarter masterpiece was about a change in approach, not just a variation.

“I didn’t like how I was playing and I saw I had to change it, it’s that simple. It has nothing to do with shooting. It’s the mentality of getting down the slope and trying to make plays. And not hesitate and not be passive. If there are mistakes, they’re offensive mistakes. They want you to be on your heels. And I think that’s what I was in the first few quarters,” the Knicks captain told the media on Saturday.

Brown says the Knicks “have to get better” after being swept by the Rockets.

Reporters asked head coach Mike Brown about his group’s tendency to underestimate competition and flip the proverbial “switch” when needed. He said after the game that although he has coached teams that can “flip the switch”, such as the Golden State Warriors group that included Durant, those were unique situations that he was not counting on replicating in New York.

“We’ve found a way. But we’ve got to be better,” Brown said.

The organization chose this coach to lead this group because his focus was on team process regardless of results. Sunday night’s tilt in Chicago will conclude the weekend’s back-to-back. After that, the Knicks have 24 games left in the regular season. Brown, and his players, will spend time honing that same process – trying to get as close to perfection as possible.

紐約尼克隊在 NBA 交易截止日期前的重大舉措是從新奧爾良鵜鶘隊收購何塞·阿爾瓦拉多，以換取達倫·特里和兩個第二輪選秀權。阿爾瓦拉多對尼克隊的重要性在尼克隊週六以 108-106 擊敗休士頓火箭隊的比賽中表現得最為明顯。據 SNYtv 報道，賽後，尼克斯隊球星賈倫布倫森搞笑地反駁說，他從未將何塞阿爾瓦拉多視為對手。

「和他一起玩更有趣，」布倫森說。 “對陣他時，我真的不知道他在另一支球隊。你們可以告訴他我也這麼說過。”

拋開所有笑話不談，阿爾瓦拉多在戰勝火箭隊的比賽中的影響不容小覷。阿爾瓦拉多可以說是本場比賽中表現最好的防守球員，他悄悄地爬到火箭球星凱文·杜蘭特身後，用他獲得專利的偷襲動作之一將球傳出。然後他將球從東海岸帶到西海岸，並在塔里·埃爾森身上上籃，將休士頓的領先優勢縮小到2分，103-101。

阿爾瓦拉多替補出場總共20分鐘，得到8分、1個籃板、4次助攻和全場最高的5次抄截。他投籃9投3中，三分線5投2中。

自交易以來，阿爾瓦拉多作為替補控球後衛為尼克隊出戰了五場比賽，場均出場時間略多於20分鐘。他場均得到生涯最高的11.2分、2.2個籃板、4.0次助攻和2.6次抄截，投籃命中率為42.6%，三分球命中率為37.5%，罰球命中率為66.7%。

阿爾瓦拉多在 2021 年 NBA 選秀中落選，他的整個職業生涯都在鵜鶘度過。現在，他幫助尼克隊在東部聯盟闖入季後賽。

New York – The New York Knicks have a complicated relationship with the Detroit Pistons. The young Pistons group completed their 2026 regular season sweep of the Knicks on Thursday night, bringing both teams back to similar circumstances from last season, which culminated in a first-round playoff win for New York. However, team captain Jalen Brunson no longer wants to rely on last year’s results.

“It’s a new year,” Brunson told reporters at Madison Square Garden after the Knicks’ 126-111 loss.

The young Detroit group, led by a jumbo playmaker and consisting mostly of serious specialists in defined roles, is reminiscent of the New York squad led by Julius Randle. But, to borrow Jay-Z’s paradox in his early 2010 rap masterpiece, Brunson has helped transform these nicks from “underpaid” to “overrated” in recent years.

It is believed that New York is closer than ever to the championship. But Cade Cunningham’s Pistons are lovable underdogs who upset the NBA hierarchy with surprising road wins. And on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks contenders were caught at the beach.

The Pistons were missing Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, both of whom were suspended after a fight with the Charlotte Hornets. It didn’t make much difference to Cunningham. His 42-point, eight-rebound, 13-assist performance overshadowed Brunson’s 33 points, six rebounds and eight assists on 60% field goal shooting.

Detroit’s regular season success did not help them in last year’s playoffs against the Knicks. But these pistons seem to work with larger cylinders. The proverbial engine of their offense, Cunningham, has leveled off. With this he can take his teammates to even greater heights.

The Knicks have work to do before the end of the season if they want to repeat last year’s playoff results against teams like the Pistons. They have reached the required heights many times, but often step back after reminding themselves that they can do the same.

Bridges ends another close game on the Knicks bench

Thursday’s loss to the Pistons was another close game that Mikal Bridges watched from the bench. The Knicks made only eight of their 35 attempts from behind the 3-point arc, with only four different players getting shots to fall. Brunson and Landry Shamet were the only two Knicks to score more than one, each knocking down three times during the 15-point loss.

Two of the 3-pointers made by Shamet came in the last eight minutes of the fourth quarter, when he was on the court in place of starter Mikal Bridges. It’s important for the versatility of the Knicks’ scheme that starters like Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns don’t mind being benched in favor of red-hot role players. But head coach Mike Brown said Shamet closed out on Bridges because the team needed to score. It wasn’t a strong endorsement of the two-way wing who signed a four-year, $150 million extension with a player option for the 2029-30 season.

“Landry hit some shots. We needed to score. They’re both really good guards. And so I stayed with Landry. But it wasn’t like, ‘Oh, I’ll sit Mikal because he’s not doing that, or he’s not doing that.’ We were looking to score points. And Landry was the only guy to make a shot from behind the arc, the coach said through some nervous laughter.

A key part of the Knicks’ journey this upcoming postseason will be striking a balance with respect to the participation of their star players — and what they bring to the table in games where shots aren’t being funneled their way. While the Browns made it clear that the late-game benching was not Bridges’ fault but a situational adjustment, it is on Bridges to give the coaching staff no choice.

Bridges did not ask to be traded for five first-round picks. He didn’t force the Knicks to offer him $150 million and a player option. But the ball is in the 29-year-old’s court as to how he chooses to respond to this adversity. His confession after the game in Toronto was a great start. New York can’t afford to be this outlier.

New York Knicks franchise star Jalen Brunson made headlines a few months ago after admitting to forgoing his own signature sneaker option with sponsor Nike. Instead, Brunson has an unlimited inventory of exclusive Nike Kobe colorways from Bryant’s famous series. Recently, we saw Brunson introduce a new Nike Kobe 3 “Warning Label” as per the Nike Basketball All-Star Special Editions.

Check out our sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content!

Brunson has been wearing Nike Kobe sneakers almost exclusively since his time as a Villanova Wildcat, and is expanding that tradition on his way to becoming an All-NBA talent with the New York Knicks. Their PE (Player Exclusive) run began with the “Statue of Liberty” colorway of the Nike Kobe 6, which has recently resurfaced once again in the form of the latest “Arania” Nike Kobe 3 Low.

Nike Basketball debuted the “Warning Label” collection at the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, giving top Nike athletes like LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant their own exclusive colorways of their signature sneakers. Brunson was no different as Nike put together a “Warning Label” Nike Kobe 3 PE for him to rock during the festivities.

According to Nike’s promotional warning label: “This collection is more than a threat. It’s a promise that the fierce nature and true colors of our athletes shine when they step onto the court.” The collection includes the Nike A’One (A’ja Wilson), Nike KD 18 (Kevin Durant), Nike Ja 3 (Ja Morant), Nike Sabrina 3 (Sabrina Ionescu), and Nike Freak 7 (Giannis Antetokounmpo).

The “Warning Label” Nike Kobe 3 Low comes dressed in a loud purple and rainbow color scheme that matches the general theme throughout the collection. The midsole, outsole, sockliner, and laces are all done up in the same soft purple hue. The hallmark feature is the iridescent color in the upper webbing, giving these an unmistakable and distinctive look.

While the above pairs are currently available through Nike, Brunson’s Kobe 3 PE will remain exclusive to him and Nike’s Future Game players. Do you think Nike should release this specific pair?

The New York Knicks were well represented at this year’s All-Star Game, with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns competing for Team Stripes and Team World, respectively.

In the end, none of them won the trophy, as Team Stars won the mini tournament. It was the young guns, including Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, who shone brightest at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Edwards was named All-Star Game MVP, while Wembanyama almost single-handedly led the team to the World Cup. Edwards acknowledged Vembanyama for setting the tone In the mid-season showdown, and Brunson agreed.

“I think Wembey is a leader. The way he carries himself is great for this game. I think he’s done a great job, and you can see the impact he’s had on and off the court during this game. That’s why he’s doing what he does,” Brunson said.

Jalen Brunson agrees with Anthony Edwards and says Victor Wembanyama has set the tone for the intensity of the All-Star Game.

“I mean, yes. I think Wembey is a leader. The way he carries himself is fantastic for this game. I think he’s done a great job, and you can see the impact he’s had… https://t.co/yOCqsqKPoM pic.twitter.com/DYzrcmrFm1

– ClutchPoints (@clutchpoints) 16 February 2026

The 22-year-old Vembanayama, who played in his second consecutive All-Star Game, scored 33 points on 10-of-13 shooting, eight rebounds and two blocks in two games, although they lost both.

For his part, the 29-year-old Brunson had 13 points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals in three games.

Even before the highly anticipated competition, Vembanyama made it clear that he did not see it as a comfortable exhibition, and stressed the need to work hard to compete.

Team World still had a chance to advance to the finals, but Vembanyama missed a three-pointer, sending the game into overtime against Team Stripes.

Meanwhile, Brunson and the Knicks return to action on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons.

Jalen Brunson remains a central figure to the New York Knicks’ success, both on and off the court. During the recent All-Star Saturday festivities, Brunson led the Knicks trio of Karl-Anthony Towns and Allen Houston to victory in the return of the Shooting Stars competition. Despite the win, the All-Star guard joked that he was not having any fun due to the presence of the team’s “celebrity” passer, his father and assistant coach, Rick Brunson.

The younger Brunson jokingly roasted his father during the trophy presentation, noting that the elder Brunson did his job, but being around him was never a good time.

The momentum comes as the Knicks enter the break with a 35-20 record and the third seed in the Eastern Conference.

These types of interactions often highlight the team’s chemistry, although some teammates test Brunson’s patience more than others.

In a video posted by ClutchPoints via NBA, the Knicks leader revealed his choice for a specific superlative.

“I’m not going to tell his name, but the number 3 [Josh Hart] On the Knicks…he’s the most annoying guy ever,” Brunson joked.

The bond between the former Villanova teammates is well-documented, and this latest comment adds another chapter to their ongoing public banter.

While Hart may be a nuisance in the locker room, his presence has been vital for a Knicks team that has won 8 of their last 10 games.

The surge came after an important players-only meeting called by Brunson following a disappointing loss to the Mavericks.

The star guard has embraced his role as the team’s undisputed leader, emphasizing that his motivation comes from proving to himself that he belongs at the highest level.

Brunson said he is not afraid to fail as he pushes the Knicks toward championship aspirations.

He challenged his teammates to show enough care to put in the effort required, a demand that has clearly resonated as the team prepares for the final stretch of the regular season.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson played an integral role in his team winning the Shooting Stars competition, an event that marked his spectacular return to the NBA All-Star Saturday after an 11-year hiatus, but there was one thing that was dampening his excitement. And he shares a last name.

After Brunson, fellow 2026 All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns and fan favorite Allen Houston led the Knicks to victory, No. 11 took the opportunity to deliver a verbal jab at the celebrity passer, who is also his father and coach. New York assistant and former NBA player Rick Brunson was roasted during the trophy presentation.

When asked if he was enjoying, the younger Brunson decided to lie down next to his old man.

“No, whenever I’m with him, it’s never fun,” he told NBC Sports reporter Ashley Shahahmadi via the BrickCenterX account. “It was a passer, I wouldn’t call it a ‘celebrity’ passer, but he did his job.”

The Brunson men spend so much time together in the locker room and on the road, so one can assume they regularly engage in some old-fashioned ribbing. Ultimately, everyone did their job effectively enough to lead New York to the win. The Knicks trio scored 47 points in the final round to defeat Team Cameron, which included former Duke stars Jalen Johnson, Kon Knueppel and Corey Maggette.

Jalen Brunson will continue to be an important part of the festivities, as he is set to be an All-Star Game star for the second year in a row. Since his father won’t be on the court during the action, one can only hope that the 29-year-old will have some fun before leaving the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

All-Star Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks have won eight of their last 10 games, including an eight-game winning streak, as they head into the All-Star break with the third-best record in the Eastern Conference standings – 35-20. Since Brunson called a players-only meeting following a blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks — 114-97 — the Knicks have lost only two games in the past three weeks.

For Brunson, the Knicks’ recent extension is an example of how successful they can be when everyone is on the same page, as the All-Star guard looks forward to closing out the regular season According to NBATV’s Chris Haynes, he spoke on a high note before the postseason.

Brunson said, “It was more about proving myself than proving people wrong.” “I just wanted to prove to myself that this is where I should be. No matter what happens, I’m not afraid to fail.”

Before appearing in his third consecutive All-Star Game since joining the Knicks, Brunson had arguably one of his better seasons, averaging 27.0 points on 47.0% shooting, including 37.4% from deep, 6.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds.

Jalen Brunson’s soul-searching demands for the Knicks

Knicks All-Star Jalen Brunson booed his team after the loss to the Mavericks. According to ESPN, Brunson berated his team for not giving the effort they were capable of, but did not back down.

“There’s a lot of things to figure out, but I mean, as a team, we know what we have to do,” Brunson said. “It’s either we do it, we care enough to do it, or we don’t.”

After the Knicks’ defense gave up 75 points in the first half of a 17-point loss to the Mavericks, Brunson hasn’t backed down and his team has never lost more than twice in 10 attempts.
