I've made a new hobby of going back and seeing how insanely wrong the media was about Brunson
Yo same lol.
0:47 second rd playoff series???? Huh.
same.... like way off...
They should be fined with all these 😂
The way Brunson and the Knicks made absolutely literally everyone eat there words is just spectacular
Figuratively*, but yes.
Also, their* words.
Believe in yourself the way the Knicks believe in Jalen Brunson
Brunson Elite 😤
He's not, I'm Mavs fan and pretty annoyed with these stupid Knicks offering such a ridiculous contract. Pointless
@@juanordonez5667 the Knicks think Jalen Brunson is Steph Curry
Dude, I didn't even know who he was until the Knicks pursued him. Leave it up to the Knicks to get excited about adding an average role player to their roster.
No
I come back to these videos every so often.😂❤.
Let’s go Knicks!
Everytime I see Russo I hear "he's no bob cousey now". And JJ just being appalled
No one argues that Bob Cousy would be able to compete against any decent NBA guard, but Russo was saying that Cousy changed the game as one of its earliest cerebral and creative players. Redick should be the last one running his mouth because his career was a failure as far as I'm concerned. Given all of his hype in college, you would think he would have it in him to be an alpha male and assert himself in the league, but he got turned into a role player almost instantly, yet he talks like he averaged 25ppg in his career. Beta males shy away from positions of leadership and authority and are content with being role players at work, at home, and in marriage. JJ's pets probably boss him around.
@@Zenigundam I would also like to add, that if JJ redick was born back then, he may not even be in the NBA. Bob Cousey didn't have access to social media, information, modern training, nutrition, AAU leagues, etc. Bob Cousey is a legend and a pioneer of the game... JJ redick is nowhere remotely close to that level.
🤣🤣🤣 well done sir!!!!
@@Zenigundam yet jj is still one of the top 15 3 pt shooters of all time
@@happypill6195 As an 11th pick, I would say he had a reasonable career. I wouldn't call him a bust. Based off his college hype, he was a bust, but everyone knew he wouldn't be that productive in the NBA. He's had a pretty good career but definitely not HOF status or on Cousey's level.
These Brunson takes are hilarious, looking back...😂
Hilarious bro I’m rolling lookin back at this 😂
I literally looked it up today just to laugh
“He’s not gonna be the guy to bring them to a second round playoff series”.. this aged horribly. As a mavs fan this hurts, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I wish Cuban gave jb the extension when we had the chance. Happy to see him thriving living out his childhood dream.
Mavs fan here. I've watch the progression of JB ever since he got drafted in Dallas. Dude is solid. He can lead a team. Has done it at all levels and will continue to. It may take some time to adjust but he'll get it.
Hes a healthier D Rose( but todays d rose not 2011 d rose) minus all the constant injuries.
W take
Comment aged beautifully..
Who the F said Evan Fournier was the second coming of Larry Bird?? I swear, these Knicks hot takes, man. All the team is trying to do each year is sign or trade for players who improve the team. Nobody but ESPN is claiming that the expectation for these players is SUPERSTAR.
Another example of LAZY journalism.
Absolutely hate coming to ESPN for Knicks content
When you put the guy's dad on the staff and clear up cap space by trading players in order to give him a max contract, what is he expected to be ? A role player?
@@cocovi He’s not getting a max contract. He’s getting $25M per year. That’s decent money for a starting PG in the league. That amount puts him in the same salary tier as Terry Rozier, Fred Vanvleet, Malcolm Brogdon, Kyle Lowry, and Mike Conley. Those guys make as much as Brunson does. Now tell me, are they “superstars”? The answer is no. That’s just the cost of a starting PG in today’s NBA. The superstars are making $50M per year, not $25M
@@cocovi every few yrs salaries go up. Fred Vanvleet signed for 85 mil and he's a role player.
NY taxes are higher than Toronto's so when you do the math... after taxes he gets a bit less than Fred Vanvleet. Feel better??
Watching this after game 1 in playoffs
Watching this after JB leads the team to the seconds round since mad dog said it wouldn’t happen lol
I would like to see this panel discuss this now lol this interview did not age well lol
As a lifelong Knick fan I hope these so called experts realize they aren’t that smart. Jalen Brunson is a superstar. LFGK
He called him a 20 / 20 guy😂😂😂 that was really funny . Score 20 & give up 20!😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Knicks 2 years later: trades Brunson with 2 first-round picks to free cap space for 2024 free agency
Hopefully back to the mavs
Lol. Facts!
😂😂😂
Sadly it’s going to be true
Exactly what I was about to write 😂 If Knicks would see me knocking down 3 3pt in a row I'm sure I would get minimum from them asap
Jalen Brunson needs his respect
This did not age well 😂
This aged perfectly
Like fine wine
So this guy really said that Knicks fan thought Evan Fournier was the second coming of Larry Bird!! 🤣 I haven’t heard 1 knicks fan make that ridiculous comparison these “analysts” just wanna lol Knicks when it’s literally them making the dumbest statements
Just inventing nonsense. What a ridiculous statement.
Aint never gonna be another Bird. Dude was Jokic style/size with Currys shot
actual baffling statement by this dude...he literally just made up this nonsense to insult a group of people that never said it
He wasn't talking about Knick fans, he was talking about the Knicks organization. And the elevated/delusional expectations they have when it comes to free agency.
And how they throw big money at glorified role players, expecting superstar productivity.
@@shadysif6220 NO ONE in the organization, NO ONE on this planet expected a Larry Bird performance from Fournier. I have never seen one person even suggest that Fournier is an All-Star level talent. He was known to be a below average defender and excellent shooter who has more offensive versatility than Reggie Bullock. He lived up to exactly that reputation.
We wanted Donovan Mitchell, now we getting Jalen Brunson. BRU

Really sad situation with the Knicks where mid level players are expected to be Superstars the way Randle's career is fizzling out
Lol the media saying that no Knicks executives or even fans say this
And in honesty... Randle was never a superstar. No opponent is coming into the Garden worried about Randle... Then or now.
You feel stupid now right
brunson is borderline superstar goofy
"The Knicks have something up their sleeves."
Sure they do.😂 They didn't say that something is good though.
Anyone else notice windy has put on a lot more weight?
love Freddie Colman! want to see him more on First Take!
This video should be entered into the Library of Congress.
Nice to look back and see how wrong people were about this signing.
Without Luka, Brunson has a record of 20-24. He’s a good role player, but the Knicks are acting like he’s a world changer.
No they’re acting like he’s a player that’s better than any guard they have. It’s about improvement however you can get it
No they aren't not how is he a role player he was the second option on a wcf team and he was the only person on that time that didn't need luka to help him get his shot stop talking
@@divinerolle9384 that doesn’t justify the contract they’re trying to give him. Now if you signed him for a reasonable amount and traded for Bradley Beal then give him those dollars, now that makes sense
@@divinerolle9384 That justifies hiring his dad too?? Lol, to me that's just crazy
If RJ have a ja morant break out season like I’m expecting and becomes the alpha dog. It makes that Brunson deal so much sweeter having a solid point guard who doesn’t turn the ball over. To which other free agents will wanna come win with us. We shall see.
Whoever is laughing in the video, that didn't age well 😂😂 joke on you 😂😂😂
We are literally days away from the playoffs are currently in the third seed but might be the second seed already better than we were last year. And the funniest thing I heard was how Jalen Brunson wasn't an alpha. I will always look back at this video because it shows just how dumb and jaded certain analysts are
Brunson is nice maybe he becomes the beast we don’t know he can become and I am not saying he can be like James harden when he left OKC to join the rockets look how that turned out 🤷♂️ we simply don’t know
Facts everybody talking down on this move but if it works out then what and the key to the Knicks success is RJ Barrett if he becomes a all star it will attract free agents
As a Knicks fan I love the fact the Knicks are getting JB, ESPN makes money off bashing the Knicks and will continue to do so unless an allstar player comes to the Knicks. As a franchise we are not there yet, however after we get JB we are more ready than ever to lure actual stars.
Please for 110 mil you can have him. He is 6ft tall. He isnt iverson or nash. He isnt even murray… he is a way more expensive version of fred van fleet at his best. Have fun.
The Knicks are also making money bashing themselves 😂😂😂
@@JohnnyBananas7x who else are they suppose to get in the free agency right now that could solve the ball handling/playmaking issue the Knicks have had for years? They would waste another year without much progress if they didn't find a way to resolve their biggest need. Rubio would have been my pick, but he had another devastating injury this season. Rondo has all the off court issues and he's dealing with injuries. Dragic probably doesn't want to waste the little time he has yet on a team that isn't title contenders. John Wall is the only other option I can think of, but he also has a history with injuries as well. The Knicks only have one reliable PG and that has been old DRose (who also dealt with injuries this past season). Before DRose, the Knicks haven't had any good PGs since the Raymond Felton days.
Jalen Brunson solves what the Knicks needs. He can control the pace of the game, make plays, has excellent handles, doesn't turn over the ball, can score when needed, and has decent range. He was MIP contender when Luka and KP were injured for the Mavs and we saw what he can do during the Jazz and Suns series. Now Brunson won't be the franchise savior, but he will help them move forward and allow RJ and Randle to play to their strengths. It will be a good contract overall for the team like the Gordon Hayward or Scary Terry contracts were for the Hornets.
Congrats you signed a role player to a max, alongside with your 5 other role players
..... but it's what the Knicks are exactly doing!.... the Knicks are so Lazy, Dont develope and draft actual talent. The Knicks constantly cut corners, and it will show in 3 seasons.
I dont know how anyone can pretend to say they're a fan of that terrible shitty organization! The knicks are the worst runned team.
This take didn't age well did it
Jalen Brunson is top 5 player! Give him the MAX
Top 100, easy lol
ESPN spreading these false narrative that knicks fans overrate their players no Knicks fan ever said Evan Fournier was the second coming of Larry and most knicks fans aren’t happy about this trust me as a Knicks fan I don’t expect anything ever the last thing I’m gonna do is call jalen Brunson a superstar
Windy keeps saying 11 picks, most will be turned in to 2nds with the protections 😂

Which is more likely than not.
That one Eastern Conference Team that wants dejounte Murray Must be the Knicks Cuz theres no way the Knicks Doing all this just for brunson
You must be a casual fan because the rebuttal to that is it’s the Knicks
They have Julius Randle as their highest paid player in you don’t think they’re doing all this for a guy that has no All-Star appearances??
🤣🤣
@@skywalker2759 lol you got a Point
It’s the hawks
I don’t think so unless it’s Dolan pulling strings. We got two of the top agents of all time in our office now.
But they are watch and see.
"No star players in the last couple of years have said I wanted out."
KD and Kyrie in 2019. Knicks failed at signing both. Also Wall, Harden, Simmons, Butler to name a few.
It's these kind of moves is why no stars want to sign or be traded to the Knicks. Which star is going to say, "I want to join Randle and Brunson to win a championship"?
Most definitely bron also bak In 2010 💯
They should pick me up 😤😤 instant championship
Look at what kd and kyrie joined in Brooklyn worse than Brunson and randle
KD 🔥🔥
Ummmm just wanted to voice the opinion that a large number of us Knick fans understand Brunson isn't carrying is to a chip. But also understand that the going rate for a starting pg is over 20 million. It's business. Knicks need a pg. That's the price you pay.
Detroit nor Sacramento were trading their pick therefore this is a solid option. Incremental improvement is better than "lord let *player X come save us". This allows the knicks yo evaluate the talent of the team with a quality starting pg and a 3rd year coach.
Are we favorites? No. Can we compete against teams in the east better? Yes.
*shout out burks hive
^this. I don’t understand how the average Knicks fan is much more competent and intelligent than literally all of ESPN. It’s wild. Like what we’re we supposed to do, hold a gun to Damian lillards head? ESPN get a grip
@@Ssalama23 it’s because they don’t watch the team the way that we actual fans do. Black dude in glasses said we thought Fournier was the second coming of Larry Bird…. Like what!? Literally no one said that. It’s pretty ridiculous how incompetent these pundits are but they love trashing the Knicks way more than they do speaking facts.
huge nba fan from eu, brunson is a beast in knicks and now when randle woke up from the dead it's even a better duo. that knicks team can become something!
Knicks franchise was hijacked by Brunsons dad lol. They really about to willingly give that family boat load of cash all for nothing. Knicks fans should protest and boycott.
Makes you think the Brunson's got some dirty intel on they hands or something 😂
How about Brunson is a smart player with upside. Also helps the quality of life for R.J who could walk.
@@kennethjacobs3716 they hired Jalens father a few months ago. Also, Sam Rose who is the son of Knicks president Leon Rose is Jalen’s agent. So there’s a whole dilemma there lol
Side note. When Leon Rose use to be an agent his first client was Rick Brunson 😂
Why is it dumb for the Knicks to do it but the mavs are willing to give him 5 years isn't done I'm confused
@@seanhicks7385 that's dumb too
Why are we always being judged by championships ? This is ridiculous. We need to build a team first.
I don't know either. Knicks haven't won a title since 1973 I believe.
What are you playing for ? A championship
@@nofg3159 What comes first?
@@egletonwoodside7636 the female
I think the Lakers & Knicks are probably the most irrationally covered teams in the league. Brunson will be the 45th highest paid player in the league. This is not an overpay, he’s a good player. People are judging what he’s gon do before he even puts a jersey on. They’re not trying to win a championship, they’re tryna be better than last year. Judge them after the off-season
Knicks don’t have a PG: “LOL Knicks”
Knicks sign a PG: “Overpaid, LOL Knicks”
U think Brunson is worth almost 30M?? U think he is a top 50 player?
Acuatal factual
@@reimixo if you actually read the report, the offer will be AROUND 110. Would I give him 27.5? No, but the market dictates what you’re worth. Fox, DLo, & Lowry all make 30 million and 2/3 have not had the success that Brunson has had.
IDGAF about All Star appearances, those are popularity contests
@@KCFree3 if u ACTUALLY READ, I Said almost 30M..... 27.5 isn't almost 30M in the NBA?? Bye......
@@reimixo hey bro. Go outside, touch some grass. It’s not your money so why are u so concerned?
It’s easy to see that most people in this comment section only watch NBA basketball. At Stevenson High School, Jalen Brunson was one of the top high school players in his class (2015). I literally watched this man play at the IHSA state tournament in Peoria; 2nd place in 2013 as a sophomore, losing to Jabari Parker and Simeon in the championship; tournament record 56 points as a junior in 2014 in a semifinal loss against Jahlil Okafor and Whitney Young, team finished in 3rd place; won state as a senior in 2015, scoring a 4A record 30 points against Normal Community (who was a conference rival of mine as a high school junior that year); two national championships in 3 years at Villanova (was the leader of the team for the second one); college player of the year, and many other high school and college accolades. May not be relevant his NBA career, but it’s what makes his journey there a special one.
I’m not saying he should go to the Knicks (I don’t think he should), or that the Knicks should pursue him, or that he’s an NBA superstar, but he’s earned his rightful spot as a very good NBA player. HE…IS…ELITE, and stars in his role. If you haven’t heard of him before now, you haven’t really explored the game.
Jalen brunson is a leader, hardworking and tough minded physical point guard he can definitely help the Knicks make the playoffs but if your trying to win a chip you need another star to pair with him also experience matter there no experience player on the Knicks
😂😂😂😂😂

How bout both
@@gjulia312 nah you wanna keep some cap space for the future
@@sean24833 what future??? They make the playoffs every 8-9 years just to be a first round exit they wasted Carmelo's prime, D rose kept getting injured every 5-10 games, they couldn't do anything with A'mari Studamire, neither with Porzingus, or with Jeremy Lin before he got injured so the Knicks had ALL of those talents and couldn't do anything with them besides Quickley Topins and Randle Mitchell Robinson
why do they even let russo on tv if he can't even do the bare minimum of "learning how to pronounce luka doncic's name." and he disrespected my guy JB. if this is how knicks fans think, they don't deserve jalen. as a die hard mavs fan who watches every single game, jalen is so much better than people realize. he deserves every penny and i hope the mavs keep him at whatever price he asks
As a Knicks fan, I would love JB. He’s tough, smart, and I think as our main PG he could really take advantage of the opportunity and prove all of the haters wrong. I know he’s been doubted at every level, but he’ll prove people wrong as he always does. The crazy, negative Knicks fans are always the loudest, but there are plenty of us that would welcome him with open arms!
JB is a nice player but he's not 100m player
@@prolific1518 why not?
Spot on over inflate expectations.
I don't understand why RJ doesn't get more respect. Dude's like 22 years old and was putting up around 28pts per game the last quarter or half of the season. Knicks actually have good youth. Obi and Quick were also balling. Clear Randles salary and fournier but they should then be in a spot to add another good talent including brunson. Especially if Randle is off the books
He stinks too no right hand can't shoot and terrible free throw shooter
@@wall1 he's still really young and improved quite a bit in just the last year
The Knicks are the floormat of New York sports teams.
Knicks should hold on to the cash and picks. Shove next year for real all stars this brunson deal will just cripple them for the next 5+ years.
How will it cripple them when the cap is going up? Brunson’s deal is gonna be a regular deal for a 16 ppg PG in a couple years 😂
@@AJ_Jacks0 He isn't worth the money at all period end of story. So the knicks plan is to suffer for another 5 years lol.
How is it the knicks 5+ year when it's a 4 year deal 😂😂 stop talking clown
No real stars now or in the immediate future says they wanna go to NY
@@cookingwitchefzayy8830 Actually that part of the argument makes sense, because Brunson raises the Knicks floor significantly. Therefore, their draft picks are worse, meaning that even after Brunson is gone, the Knicks will still feel the repercussions of that signing for the next 8ish years
Update?!?!?
Barrett and Toppin become the Alphas with the help of Brunson and Robinson. This team is building through their youth. With the acquisition of Brunson, they don't have to worry about a Point Guard for a while.
Toppin? Knick fans are delusional, he's nothing more than a bench player. I'm a knick fan but let's be real😂. No chip in the next 4 years with Brunson trust me
Toppin can only dunk and run lmao
@@ld7489 Obi is a dog. He barely has had enough time to actually fully develop. Don’t be an idiot
@@jordanbrownlee7667 I’ll take Toppin doing that over Randle’s spin move iso turnovers every play……
@@jordanbrownlee7667 he started to develop into his own towards the end of the season. Was consistently hitting 3s, and had nice finesse around the rim. Pretty sure you don’t watch Knicks games but just wanted to lyk he’s more than that.
Reminds me of overpaying for THJ to give Porzingis help. Then a few years later they have to use KP's contract to move THJ out to make room for KD & Kyrie. Now it's using a lotto pick to get Kemba's contract out so they can overpay Brunson. If this backfires it's gonna be a nightmare, yet again.
Imagine having an all around 2 way stud like dejounte Murray unselfish great defensive rebounding PG available..and U push everything to the middle for a backup 2nd round 6"1 PG because he had one good playoff series..anyone old enough to remember Jerome James?
Yeah I don't get it. Brunson is a good player, but he's the kind of player that you settle for if you miss out on a guy like Murray
@@Blorbifink 1 guy is unrestricted and the other requires you to give up ALOT of valued assets. Brunson’s deal isn’t even expensive compared to the rest of the NBA’s PG contracts. Why wouldn’t you do that if you actually know business?
@@Geeandrezzi Brunson puts the Knicks in play-in contention and doesn't really help their perimeter defense. Plus the Knicks gave up Noel to clear cap space, who was their best rim protector.
@@Geeandrezzi Nobody is bidding on him and that should tell you everything. Mavs don't want to lose him for nothing and the Knicks are bidding against themselves. He's a good player for 4 years 80 mil. At 4 110 mil it's absolute insanity. I think the max he can actually take is 4 130 so you're basically giving a near max to a player that had 1 good playoff series. He is not a good defender, playmaker or shooter. You're basically getting a DRose without the injury problems. At his peak he'll most likely give you 20 6 4 on good efficiency without anything else, might make an All-Star game in his career but most likely not. Everyone sees the writing on the wall except the Knick and their nepotism it seems.
@@Blorbifink Noel literally hasn’t played in a year due to injuries. Knicks can re-sign Mitch now cause they cleared cap space, I’ll take Mitch over Noel. As good as Murray is, where have the spurs been these last 3 years…?
Thank you Mad Dog
I'm usually very hard on the Knicks but I'm not understanding all the hate surrounding the Knicks pursuit on Brunson. Is he a superstar? No, but he can without a doubt be an intricate part of a contender as he just showed. The Knicks have some legit young talent in Barrett and Obi who keep improving. Grimes, Quickly, Robinson. I like the move
Brunson was a huge key for us but if the Knicks are going to offer him that much they might as well take him.
yes, but he stepped up just because Dinwiddie went awol; luka needed a 2nd guy; no shade to Brunson whatsoever, the guy really stepped up in the play-offs, but he is a 3rd option and not a player you do all these trades for and make cap space for...

Ball handling/playmaking and a PG is a position that the Knicks have desperately needed. DRose is the only reliable ball handler that the Knicks have had since Raymond Felton and Jeremy Lin back in the early 2010s. Even then Rose has been dealing with injury and would need another playmaker off the bench if Rose is starting. I don't think Brunson will be the franchise savior, but he definitely fills a need that the Knicks have been looking for and allow their other players to maximize their skills. He's young, improving every year, doesn't turn the ball over, and fits with the current roster. Maybe a temporary signing of John Wall might be better (Rubio was my pick before his devastating injury again) but those are the only options I see in this free agent class.
Pistons got some nice pieces together
For the ones who reads this just know this is only the beginning keep pushing, grinding, and fighting. Whatever it is in life you want to do to go after it life is to short. Life is a marathon not a sprint so go out there and live it up I hope all is well and goes well for you peace and one love.🙏🏽

Jalen Brunson is a good player. Gets to rim , plays defense, can shoot 3, and is a leader in clubhouse.
Again so disrespectful. I have seen so many games when you could see that if he was not in the game when Doncic was taking a rest they would lose games. Brunson is a good, stable player that will give you 20p, 5 r, 8-9 assists. 20-22 m is ok for him. Who is now available? Stop complaining.

I think it was against the Suns that the Mavs had like a 30 points lead, they left Brunson to finish the game and rest Doncic. The Brunson squad got burned by the all bench squad of the other team and they had to put Luka back in. Brunson is a great 6th guy but he's not a starter.
what kinda argument was tht lol. Ok brunson led the mavs to 2 wins against the jazz with 41 and 31 points back to back. WITHOUT luka. That must mean hes the next damian lillard by ur logic
They can s&t ayton for randle/robinson plus picks.
If Dallas didn't want to re-sign him, then something is up. Just a role player showing flashes of brilliance in the playoffs. I also saw games when Brunson played like a scrub like his daddy on my Clippers. Good luck, Knicks.

@@hottakes2633 and thats smart by Dallas. They need to save that money to potentially get a Star next to Luka down the line. Brunson had a really good playoff run but he's not a star.
The Knicks have no direction. We take injured/on the decline players, journeymen, we don’t draft homegrown talent that’s available we are always trying to find the next Dirk 🙄, and we OVERPAY role players. We are the kings of mediocrity with high expectations 🤷🏾♂️.
You clearly don't watch knicks basketball we have cap space flexibility no bad deals, 8 young players under 24 alot of first round picks yah love to clown the knicks with no real evidence
It’s clear that this guys is not a fan
facts, had they just took haliburton when literally everyone on planet earth said they should things would be completely different
They just traded a couple vets who took mins away from the youngins. Have put up Evans and Julius name in trade discussions. So far no homegrown talent has been traded. RJ, Mitch, IQ, Obi, Mcbribe, Grimes, Sims are still here with the addition of Keels. I can see the Knicks direction towards the youth, why can't you?
@@willbill8179 it’s cuz he doesn’t want to Will. He constantly wants to be spoiled and be mad about something
coldest take on the planet i need you to apologize
Why he do Fournier like that 😂😂🤣🤣
Giving jalen Brunson 110 million is exactly why the Knicks are a bad team.
Brunson is the guard version of Julius... Good to have, but will be over paid and not a franchise player.
Knicks have direction they supposed to be buliding through Rj Barrett and Quickley
He works hard and gets buckets! I’m okay with it
The Knicks have made this mistake with both Amare & Melo. They can’t continue to be this stupid 😂
It is a shame every player the Knicks have signed a big contract with they are so desperately to offload the next season, I see no difference with Jalen Brunson when he fails to live to expectations at Madison Square Garden.
He is a lot better than you think. Luka plays a ball dominate style of basketball that would make anyones stats look worse than they actually are. I don’t think that contract is that bad. He is a good 2nd/3rd option. RJ Barrett I’ll develop into that first option eventually. Randle has to step back into that 3rd/4th option role.
Absolutely disrespectful. I knew Brunson was gonna fix their playmaking issues. He singlehandedly fixed that Knicks team.
Brunson put 41 and 8 on Donovan Mitchell in the playoffs without Luka... he is Kyle Lowry 2.0 at 25 years old. Lowry is 35 making more...
Kyle Lowry was a GREAT defender. Very bad comparison
Spider man don't play D everyone drops 20 on Donovan sorry
@@mikeg5834 Lowry was only a good defender because he got up under guys and drew offensive fouls... Brunson is 2nd in the NBA drawing offensive fouls and gets under guys the same as Lowry. Can't wait until all the haters jump on the Brunson bandwagon when he makes the allstar team next season
@@pasukanbenderahitam1288 That's only because Luka was back and Dinwiddie is a good passer too... Mavs were actually holding Brunson back just like FVV was being held back behind Lowry in Toronto
@@mikeg5834 thats why lowry is injured all the time, have you noticed good defensive players are more injury prone. Jimmy butler, lonzo ball... etc its because they sacrifice their bodies on defense
They should've went after Zach Lavine.
For that money for real lol
The most important information said here was Knicks quality of life towards the end by maddog ain’t nobody trying to be doing all that commute
They really moved heaven and earth for Jalen brunson
But why
Knicks will just end up overpaying for Jalen Brunson like they did to Julius Randle because his daddy with the huge head himself is on the Knicks' coaching staff. Brunson will be trash once he gets his money.
randle isnt overpaid
@@mylesgould9645 Yes he is he is not a winning player
@@JourdanChaney 23 mill for what hes doing isn't overpaid
@@mylesgould9645 But its not efficient and they are not winning.
45th highest paid player in the league, he’s not overpaid.
I would absolutely LOVE Murray in New York!
Mad Dog is a realest!!
Mad Dog is just another sweet addition to First Take along with JJ, Monica, Amare, etc.
as a mavs fan it's better to overpay Brunson than keeping those overpaid and overrrated dudes like Burks, Noel, and Kemba. it's a good move for the Knicks
Windhorst is right here. Hopefully the Knicks are semi-tanking and preparing for a rebuild.
You both look dumb now
This was the best segment I have seen on the Knicks in some time. I agree on all points.
Play cam reddish more and they’ll fill the seats
