Brunson Crowned Best Knick Ever; Wemby Has Some Growing Up to Do; Cowboys Contract Woes Again

Joy Taylor recaps the Knicks’ championship celebration and the New York Times proclaiming Jalen Brunson the franchise’s greatest, noting his 45-point Game 5 closeout against the Spurs and his decision to leave $113 million on the table to help the front office build around him. She argues Brunson proved a traditional point guard can lead a title team and credits the organization for finally putting together a dominant run. Taylor then discusses Spurs star Victor Wembanyama’s comments about using the Finals loss as fuel, the team’s youth and lack of experience, and the backlash to Wembanyama not shaking hands after Game 5; she says she’s fine with him leaning into a villain persona while needing better discipline and awareness. Finally, she covers the Cowboys’ latest contract standoff with George Pickens on a $27.3M franchise tag and Dallas again delaying a long-term deal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
