Brunson’s Sacrifice Paid Off | New York Knicks News

Jalen Brunson stunned the NBA by signing a four-year, $156.5M extension with the Knicks — leaving over $100M on the table to help build a championship contender. While he could’ve walked away with $269M, Brunson trusted the front office to use that extra cash wisely, and it paid off: the Knicks won their first title in 53 years. Kevin Durant, who knows a thing or two about big contracts, respects Brunson’s gamble — even if he’d have questioned it himself, especially with billionaire owners. Brunson’s sacrifice created room to bring in stars like Anunoby and Bridges, but now the Knicks must prove his loyalty deserves more than just a banner.
