The King Brunson Rule Is Official and Refusing Will Cost You

Jalen Brunson has officially replaced Aaron Judge as the active King of New York, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are turning the coronation into law. Every mention must now be “King Brunson,” with a fine for anyone who refuses. Shaun Morash rejects the ruling, declares a “No Kings” protest and threatens to avoid Brunson’s name completely rather than bow to the Knicks captain. The argument expands into what truly makes a New York sports king, whether a championship is required and how long Brunson can hold the throne. Then the show erupts again when a caller proposes sending Mets players to the Yankees for George Lombard Jr., sparking a heated fight over prospect value, trade logic and whether Evan is disrespecting the Yankees’ prized young player.
