Thank you KENYON for your transparency about your time with the NYKnicks. My respect to you 🫡
It’s the stuff I’ve always said about Dolan can’t be mad about a guy that spends all the money always blamed the folks that work
i could see why he of all ppl would wonder how Julius is going to come back and fit in the lineup. he's been in the situation in NY
The media has always given Dolan bad coverage for some reason. No other in the NBA goes beyond him in treating former players right.
@@hardeeps5295😅 Charles Oakley?
Right bruh AND Spike Lee at one point some years back@@Julian-sl4we
Jalen Brunson is around 15th in total jersey sales. Since he signed ticket sales have been up every year. He deserved every penny of that contract. The Knicks are lucky to have this man on the roster.
Were you one of the ones who said the Knicks overpaid when they signed him? Just asking.....
@@RoDiggity3743 yup and he proved me wrong. Gotta take the L’s when they come🤣
If you're really a fan of Jalen, you wouldn't be cheering for him making the billionaires pockets easier to manage.
@@JawaPenguin16the billionaires already did that with the aprons lol. No matter what they’re going to make their money now thanks to these hard caps. They gave themselves an out to cut costs when it comes to the roster due to the new salary cap rules (e.g. clippers). They pretty much have put this in the hands of the players to decide whether the money is important, or if winning is important. It sucks cause some dudes will lose out on a ton of money, but this is what the players union agreed to.
@@JawaPenguin16 foh nobody is advocating for billionaires🤣
The issues that Julius and fans had was the season before. This past season there were no issues. The 12-2 record when OG showed up shows how valuable Julius is. They weren’t just winning close games, they were dominating teams during that run. They will be fine
Exactly, you got 2 guys average over 20 points and 5 assist, and then you got a top 5 defense at that time its a no brainer.
Those double teams that Julius creates freeing up the perimeter is the key to freeing up Brunson and saving him to close. It fits perfect?”!
Brunson will go down as one of the greatest Knicks ever, but no statue for him until he wins the Knicks an NBA title
@rampagingrejects5741 This is a casual Statement Winning a Championship is a team Effort but a healthy Knicks team are the biggest threat to the Celtics
Marbury can walk down East New York right now with 6 figure chain on he won’t be touched! Jalen still hasn’t done shit!

Knicks fan here. I use to hate Julius when he was immature and couldn't face that NY pressure but now I absolutely love. You gotta understand that there were totally different dynamics in each of his 5 seasons here. The culture is much better now in this Brunson era and every new addition just seemingly works so well. With less pressure on Randle, the more confidence he will have to play at an all-star level even with this stacked lineup.
Man you said it perfectly, watching people talk about our team makes me realize nobody watched us fr. Ju immaturity has changed and this post season I could see it in his face how hungry he looked. He coming next year to fit in and get his in line with the squad. He wanna win more than anything.
@@thejohnsoneffect3467 Exactly! Knicks fans and even himself were putting on too much pressure to win. It was just him and Barrett really. Now he can do his thing and have Brunson, Hart, Divo, Bridges, McBride, Robinson, & everyone else contribute so much more. Without all that stress, he can do his stuff and elevate the team even more. We definitely missed his offense when he went out.
Julius was the best version of himself as a knick from Jan 1 24 to Jan 27 24 and even then the season started you could see the growth people choose to focus on what they want but Randle was not an issue in the terms Brandon describes not this past season not at all. Let that nigga rock he will be fine and mix right in
Thank You - REAL Knick Talk Right here
Perfectly said I was one that didn’t like Julius but he’s definitely changed since year one
This guy Brandon Jennings does NOT know Knicks ball at all
Remember he played there when they weren't winning then continued to get bounced around I see why 😅😂
@@DNVS.11 Facts!!! Talking like he knows wtf is going on he doesn’t know the whole NY and Julius relationship for him to say trade him cause nobody in New York likes Julius he probably hasn’t even watched a game he just watches ESPN too dam much…
@@daredevil350 and only lasted a few months in NY 🤣
As a former Randle hater, I can honestly say , we fans believe in his desire to win, his work ethic, his talent; and now for me at least, he also showed he has already begun to address his deficiencies, has his ego in check, knows its Brunson's team, and is happy to play a role. There is no need to trade Randle. Knicks are only one solid C away from being certified frontrunners to be in the finals for the next 5+ years.
It's not about whose team it is. That's media propaganda. Smh. A healthy Randall is giving us 24 10 7. With a full healthy squad, Brunson won't (need) to average 30. Before Randall got hurt, brunson was averaging 25 and Randall was getting triple doubles. We're going to be one of the fastest teams in transition with the #1 defense in the league. Most of our wins will be blowouts. I doubt brunson will be the #1 option (out of necessity).
@Bonsai-Sage I agree it's not about who's team it is, it is all their team and they have to play like a team in order to win. As long as they keep playing together and unselfish winning a chip will be no problem.
He's gotten a bad rap for his past and me included killed him but I've love his passion and the fact that when healthy he's willing to play he fits in with the Knicks culture because all Brunson Hart Bridges and Donte wanna do is play no matter how injured the are
@@jamesmoore9636they technically don't have a superstar yeah Brunson had a outstanding season but I wouldn't say he's a superstar yet but their mostly solid players who can absolutely play above their labels on a nightly basis that's why we're so high on the Knicks
@@njva18 the media has been trying to divide the Celtics just to have something to talk about. There's no such thing as a super star. OG gets paid more than everybody. Doesn't make him the #1 gunner
Why is Brandon Jennings arguing what winning feels like😭 Bro just sounding mad as hell that he didn’t go to college
If you bring up college around him, he gets tight lolol
thats what i just thought im like bro he does know what winning is tho
He been tweaking lately. Roid rage or something
Brandon Jennings is hating like crazy!
I would too if I couldn’t walk a foot in jalens shoes
He be mad sensitive.
He always angry at something 😂😂just wrong n strong
Still mad we didn’t draft him 😅
😈😈😈
Jennings' take on Randle same reason he can't form a decent AllTime AS draft team.lol He can't analyze talent, character and what WINNING can do! Look at him pouting bec the others kept telling him his wrong 😂
😂
Randle is Mal homie. Jennings been fell out wit Mal. So he just on some hoe shit. His whole take was pouty yet he talkin bout someone else being pouty
Jennings is projecting his jealous, loser attitude on Randle. Hell nah, Randle is a good teammate
BJ just mad cause we didn’t draft him and we got him later and then traded him. He’s a Knick hater for other reasons
No one likes brandon jennings

@@justinthompson5282 I know. It’s called sarcasm
better for tax purposes
Jennings hurt as fuck it’s okay buddy 😢😢
Let's not forget that when the Knicks signed brunson to a 104 million dollar deal, everybody said that the Knicks were crazy to give brunson that deal. Maybe he's returning that same belief in them that they did with him.
Deep 🤔
Especially if they win even one championship, he'd be looked at as the Curry/Joker/Giannis of NY not in play style but in legacy bc it's such a major franchise that's been desperate to win a ring for decades. He'd be a savior & with the pay cut he took to "make it happen" the people will definitely fw him. Personally hoping they make it out the east that NY/BOS series is gonna be crazy if both are healthy
@@TIMAAAY💡💡
When we signed him, I remember saying it’s crazy to give a backup guard 25 mil per year. The dude is worth 60 mil per year now
The city loves Randle and Rose is not getting rid of him
Real Knicks fans love Randle. The poster ripping trendy fans who just arrived for the good times don't know hoops. Randle is the only true SCORING POWER FORWARD in the NBA.
@@arrellehnisrael8229The Only One!!
City doesn't love Randle
im from new york and never was a fan of the knicks
I'm fron NY I love the

The Problem is Thibs
I don't think he can coach all that talent
Brandon Jennings talking like he could beat Julius Randle up lol
Funny how now everyone is very careful of how they criticize Brunson. No one wants to look as stupid as they did last year.
Damn Jennings why you hating on them 😂😂😂😂 straight goofy
Mccants takes have gone progressively better and better the last few weeks... Crazy to say this, but he makes the most sense out of anyone now lmaoo
If he's the bar for making sense, than this entire show is fucked
He actually knows what he’s talking about when his personal bias isn’t involved like anything Lebron related or Roy Williams 😂
@@1227weaverbor the bias about his own career & ability lol
@@corpyhogan4433 true that 😂😂😂😂😂 .
As a Celtic fan, I was honestly hoping Brunson would drain their payroll lol. This pay cut makes me dread playing you guys even more in the future with the financial flexibility you now have. But an amazing and commendable move for sure. Looking forward to facing off for years to come. I truly think this will be one of the more legendary matchups fans will get to witness.
Love this segment, but don't talk about us Knicks fans hating Randle and wanting him out. Rest assured, 75%+ of us fans love him and want him to stay. What other replacement are you gonna get at PF for a 2x all star that consistently puts up 24, 10, 5?
facts. we hated him in his second/third year when he was getting all emotional and worked up when his shots weren't falling or turning the ball over. we would get on him all over social media for it and he couldn't handle it. ever since brunson came in, his attitude changed so much and his joy for the game came back. knicks fans want nothing more than playing with heart and showing love to fans whether or not you have an off day.
10:26 Jennings trippin. Vuc was getting double doubles CONSTANTLY when we was in 1st place in the league. The pressure isn't on him if he goes to NYK, It's on the Villanova 4.
I hate when people talk on us Knicks fans like they're actually following "Knicks Twitter". Real Knicks fans love Randle and knows what he brings to this team. Plus with this constructed roster, he's in this best position to succeed than ever before in his career.
He grew up with money. His dad was an NBA player. I'm sure they have a wink wink deal with him to pay him on his next contract or a role in the organization after he retires.
Good point.. guys like this have a totally different mindset..
Oh he definitely got a silent backend deal....and that's as New York as it gets .... loyalty is rewarded silently
Flamboyant take
Brunson’s dad was a journeyman in the nba. He never made over 65k a year my guy. Contracts were no where near what they are now
Yeaa they probably telling him they’ll pay him on his next contract,which he’ll be 33 years old at the time and who knows what’ll happen within that time injuries etc.Hope he don’t get fucked over in the end
Just like what Miami did for Udonis Hasslem... He took a pay cut for the Big 3 and they hooked him up GOOD on the back end... Now Hasslem is in the coaching staff of Miami Heat.
Okay I don’t always agree with mccant but he hit it right on the head with this take
BJ is EEEEEEEEmotional 😂
Brunson is SO loved. Endorsements coming soon
Did Brandon Jennings say the city don’t like Randle???? He’s the reason we’re where we’re at. He started this and Brunson took it to a new level.
Jennings saw Randle get boo’d like 3 years ago and thinks its the same lol. Randle didnt have Brunson then, and hes matured since then anyway
Somebody give Brandon a hug 😂😂😂😂😂
Remember 3 years ago Randlle left money on the table to sign his Knicks extension, Julius Randle said he’s happy with the decision and the direction it helped forge for the front office, thanks to his sacrifice the Knicks signed jalen brunson, divicenso, hart,.....so why would the Knicks be unloyal to Randlle when he has sacrificed so much to be here ... if the Knicks want to stablish a reputation of loyalty, Randlle won't be traded....
I’m proud of my Chicago bro real big facts
Randle is a top 5 PF in the game. He was adjusting just fine this year with JB being the focus and was still putting up 22/10 every night. Not to mention this Knick resurgence kind of began with him! I still like him on this team, and i get why people dont like him, but he dont have to play like that anymore. If we lose a 2nd rd. Game 7 on a bad Randle shot with someone else wide open,ill be right there with ya saying get rid of him, but this year i say keep him.
Hell no wtf u on drugs top 5 ?
@vondongaming weed, and name 5 power forwards your taking over Randle.
@@vondongamingHow many power forwards are 3x allstar? 25, 10 and 5. Name them
What if the Knicks get Brook Lopez (starting Center) and Tyus Jones (backup PG)?
Idk about Lopez. Milwaukee would ask for a lot. I definitely can see Tyus Jones as a potential pick up. It’s a tough decision for Jones because I know he wants to be a starter.
You've got skills, keep honing them
I appreciate Brunson for taking the pay cut but now the pressure is on to win so that this move isn’t a waste
Imagine Knicks get KD
“Idk I didn’t win” 🤣🤣🤣 still got that bag at least
That long Island kicked in quick didn't it 😂😂😂😂 Kenyon funny as hell man
2:10 I respect Brunson for this, he clearly wants to win while getting paid 👏🏽
4:28 and 150 Mil is still life changing money
I could tell you rn, he’s more beloved than Melo is.
U definitely not from ny
@@gmarley9643I am and he is telling the truth. To be honest, Melo wasn’t as beloved when he played as he is now. In fact, when we had Melo fans weren’t happy with the whole Lin thing. He never got away from the selfish ball hog allegations. It was only until he retired that we embraced him more
👀 not yet. But he continues to win he will be.
@@DubDubeee In NY he already is
@@officerricky3230bro what are you on 😂 Brunson the goods but melo has ny in a headlock till today
Glad Kenyon represented about the Knicks.
Brandon Jennings is hating because he couldn't cut it in NYC or anywhere in the League. When the Knicks win a chip, this losing stigma will be dead and gone. BTW, Brunson can recoup his money with his next contract, endorsement deals, etc. Not to forget, his Pops is getting paid lovely as an AC.
LGK🧡💙
6:47 Kenyon a savage 😂😂
Brandon Jennings been salty lately.
Lately? Shit always
The noblest thing from any player, he truly wants to win! It’s a reason Gil never won a ring with always thinking about self not the team
Bro why did i read it as “Jalen Brunson *Cremated* himself as king of new york”😭
We were the 3 seed before Randle got hurt. Randle got hurt 14 games into the OG trade.
I dont think this is what ppl think it is. Jalen Brunson just invested $100M for a return of $400M in 3 years.
Brandon Jennings makes conversations hard to watch his shit seem personal 😂
The off the court money he’s gonna make from being the face of a winning Knicks team is how he’s gonna offset that and he knows this
Boy Brandon Jennings be saying some mid ass hot takes
Much respect, any star to take a significant cut to help a franchise and his brothers, has all my respect!
If Jalen Brunson and the Knicks win it’s gonna be a black eye for other supermax players in future negotiations … everyone’s gonna say take a deal like Brunson
That’s why you’re doing podcast without a ring 😂
But whoever youre talking about definitely make more money than you, so you might wanna get rid of that laughing emoji
He did set himself up for a bigger deal later. In 2028 he is eligible for a $323 million dollars contract extension and in 2029 he will be eligible for a $418 million dollars extension. When you sacrifice to gain and not be selfish you will win.
that aint happenin this time
He’s 6’1 and will be 32 then good luck getting that money
@@jaleelthompson927 But Brunsons game isn’t heavily reliant on athleticism like D-Rose and IT was.I can see him being effective into his 30’s
@@BrooklynBalla effective and worth 400 million is two different things. Reliant doesn’t mean it’s not necessary apart of his game and all it takes is loosing 1 or two steps.
@@jaleelthompson927 For sure.Not many 32-33 yr olds are worth the supermax either way and it’s unlikely Brunson will at that age.All people are saying is he will be eligible for a big pay raise.And he’ll definitely get that big pay raise barring serious injury or huge drop off in production.
Lmao why BJ so mad at Julius 🤣🤣
Probably don’t like him because he’s cool with Mal lmao

@@splashcc6336 a old friend of his who has a podcast
Saying that New York don’t have love for Randel is a joke !!!
nah keep randle we love him he just wears his heart on his sleeve its tough to play in NY everyone trying to ball out here too love the bully ball he plays
They’re getting Randle back this year 25 and 10!
So he takes a massive extension pay cut but the guy who was there for a cup of coffee, OGA gets paid nearly a hundred million more. How is that fair? It sets a bad precedent where stars who refuse to do likewise will be cast as villains.
Exactly. Owners don’t take pay cuts. It’s the front office to fill out a competitive roster around Brunson. He should get paid for his value and the Knicks have to figure the rest out.
I love Julius on my Knicks !!!
KENYON talking ABOUT IT. Once Dolan let go of the CONTROL - and FOUND THE RIGHT ONES - GAME ON!
The audio so crisp sound like a traditional podcast than the arena live🤣🤣
If only 40 year old Lebron did this for the Lakers
He did take a pay cut after 21 years
@EverMade007 $2million paycut to give bronny $8 million for 4 years
No Perrier labels until they cut the check! 😂😂
If the Knicks win a chip after all this and Brunson has a better season. He will be for sure remembered as top 3 ever in NY sports
You definitely can’t fire his pops now 😂
Give pops an extension too...
If you think he took this discount without the team making sure to help him get taken care of in terms of endorsement deals, you're bugging. Jalen will be good!!!
1:33 no don’t do that. COMPLETELY different. Curry at that point of his career was not was Brunson is right now in his career. On top of that they offered him low money because of his ankle history.
B JENNINGS DON'T HATE!!!...GIVE MAN BENEFIT OF DOUBT...JULIUS SELF ACKNOWLEDGED HIS FAULTS A SEASON AGO. THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN YOUR BLOOD
RASHARD IS ON POINT HERE
One thing Noone mentjon is, Knicks gave him more then market value when they got him from mavs. Everyone was saying Knicks overpaid
The best stretch of the season was when Julius and OG were both still healthy in January. I wanna see how he fits with this team, I’m not trading him.
Bj be sounding better like it's okay bro we all had are moments
BJ got small dog syndrome or something, he can't handle an opposing view to his, especially when it comes to the Knicks
thibs is not putting julius randle at the 5. he has never played center minutes on the knicks. and randle hasnt been upset since they got brunson so relax brandon you talking about 2019-2021 shit its a new team.
The Knicks gotta win it all 3/4 years to justify $100 m loss. I'm taking $100+m and my friends and I can play against nba stars in the off-season at the private gym. And I can't sell the championship rings for $100m I'm straight 😂
I agree with Gill,,,I woulda needed a BOBBY BONILLA type of Contract,,,
BJ: we was 5-23 and then…
Gil: 5-23?🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
JB (& Leon) are playing this out masterfully. He now has an opportunity to sign his next extension one year earlier, with the cap going up significantly with new CBA. He about to get 70-80M per
Unless he gets hurt. The risks is all on Brunson.
Who says the city don’t like Julius Randle? 🤦🏾♂️ he set the trend to make the Knicks what they are now. #NYK
Brunson leaves OVER $50M on the table & Gil says that's FANTASTIC = Gil can't even help himself when he contradicts his past statements = Gil's the guy who says MONEY's more important THAN HELPING THE TEAM, now he's saying the exact opposite, for no logical/rational reasons, anyone can articulate
Nah its the circumstances. I'm telling you right now if they managed to even win a single title in the next 2 to 3 years he will be a legend in new york like Gilbert knew whats the reward waiting for brunson if he somehow did the impossible. Like the Knicks winning a championship would be the biggest sports story for whatever year that is. If this is like for example charlotte or detroit then hell no fck that it is not worth it.
@@Prince_mt12 just the Knicks going to the finals would make Jalen Brunson an absolute Knicks legend.
Gil never played for a team that could win😂of course he got his money as the franchise player
@@commenthere3505 You mean Gil never played well enough to help his teams win + blaming the team only proves Gil wasn't interested in WINNING, when he took the money = you can't have it both ways + Gil WAS NOT the franchise player, that was Larry Hughes, so nice try
Why are you so thirsty for a negative spin on this?
Julis was only good with the Lakers when they were trash too . On a championship team he’s like a 3rd or 4th option.
How are those Laker teams relevant? The dude broke his leg at 19 then left Lakers at 22 years old…
I think maybe his 3 allstar appearances after he left show some development? 26, 11, and 6 assists. Not bad!
Knicks will try to win as a team but Randle is basically the 2nd option. Because he draws double teams due to his size. Wings cant guard him. And a lot of tall guys are too slow
regardless of what he does or how much more he wins, he is always gonna be beloved in NY. He is already a certified NY legend with that move. They really lucked out on getting the right guy
Milkdud McCants 😭
The biggest key to take away is that Brunson took a pay cut and I’m sure Randle appreciated it. Throughout the season - the media tried to start drama between them. Brunson made a loud statement - he trynna win - f the money
I would always talk to Gil before I sign a contract 😂
4:22 gdamn McCants was actually rational for once 😂
hater
Brandon say “I was on a team that was 5-23” take that bass out your voice when speaking then lol
Vuc would 1000% be a 20 & 10 guy on the Knicks he is the post relief Brunson needs
To hear this podcast have something positive to say about the Knicks; without a backhand compliment brings a tear 😢to my eyes 🤣🤣🤣
You could even have Bridges come off the bench as a 6th man leading the second team. Randle with Brunson is a problem for other teams. We needed Randle for offense b/c there was too much pressure on Brunson to generate offense. I'm excited to see all the different rotations we got in our pocket.
Nah Bridges defense is too valuable to bench. It will be Donte Divencenzo to come off the bench and be a flame thrower
Tomorrow is not guaranteed, that type of money today is life changing, Jalen is me, 170 mil or 270 I can't spend it in one lifetime
People don’t understand this about Dolan. I’m a diehard Knicks fan. Dolan doesn’t know basketball, but he will viciously defend his people. If Brunson wins a chip, Dolan will make sure Brunson has a golden statue as big or bigger than Kobe’s.
I like Randle, but I agree. He’s probably better off being moved to another team.
Wonder if they could package Randle and picks to go after BOTH Markkanen and/or Kessler.
Gives them a great rotation of bigs that won’t disrupt Brunson’s game. And that money Brunson left on the table makes sense being used on Lauri.
156M’s can buy the same things as 270M’s
After taxes $270 Million is $ 150 million 🤣🤣🤣🤣
only someone that can't count would say some dumb sh*t like this.🤦♂
@@terrycorbettnewyork Billionaires have said the same thing. 💀 but go off champ
Now they are starting to make sense! Julia will be the hub for the offense, because he makes it easier for everyone else to score with his ability to draw double teams and make the pass.
I agree with Brandon I saw the same thing against Giannis and the bucks and ironically Knicks came back and won
Dolan does spend it was when he gave Isaiah Thomas the keys to the car and it was a curse ever since that .rose took over and has changed the culture
B Jen get his feelings hurt talking about college😂😂😂
B Jennings sounds bitter. As an ex Knick, you would think he would understand the dynamic of what is going on and how special this team feels.
