Derrick Rose ‘learning’ from Jalen Brunson as roles reverse with Knicks | New York Post Sports

Derrick Rose has been giving his 10-year-old son, P.J., advice lately to always have a ball in his hands.
“ ‘This has gotta be your first girlfriend,’ ” Rose tells him. “You laugh, but seriously. You gotta have a relationship with the ball that’s different from anyone else in the world.”
That advice comes from Rick Brunson, the current Knicks assistant, who helped turn his son, Jalen, into an NBA point guard. That process started more than a decade ago, when Rose was a superstar point guard for the Bulls, Rick was an assistant on Tom Thibodeau’s staff in Chicago and a young Jalen would help rebound for Rose. Rick made Jalen into a lefty, and he eventually became a five-star recruit at Adlai Stevenson High School outside Chicago who committed to Jay Wright’s Villanova.

This is awesome. I'm really glad Jalen went to New York because he obviously wanted to be there and the Knicks obviously wanted him there. That can go a long way for the spirit and joy that he can bring to the process. I wouldn't be surprised if this team does better than expected.
