The New York Knicks were a struggling team when they signed Jalen Brunson.
It wasn’t that he didn’t deserve a huge contract; it was how much money the Knicks paid him.
He accepted it and used it as incentive to prove everyone wrong, and his contract now seems like a steal.
Brunson quickly became a fan favorite in the Big Apple.
He’s been the point guard they’ve been looking for for years, and the fans are on a never-ending mission to remind everyone that he’s still undervalued.
With that in mind, the Villanova product ensured that the supporters received their flowers.
During All-Star Weekend, the point guard praised the fans for their support since he came at Madison Square Garden (via ClutchPoints).
“When I’m walking down the street in New York City and see a fan, I just say, ‘Yo what’s up’ and keep moving…” “I think that is the coolest thing ever, man,” Brunson added.

Jalen Brunson shows love to Knicks supporters. 🔥
The Knicks haven’t been a particularly successful organization over the last five decades, but they still have one of the world’s largest and most devoted fan following.
The Knicks presently rank fourth in the Eastern Conference.
They’re eleven games over.500 and only 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for third place, and if Brunson continues to play at an All-NBA level, they might be a serious postseason contender.
