Ever since the departure of Carmelo Anthony in 2017, the New York Knicks had been in search of their next star that could carry the team to great things.
The Knicks’ search finally came to an end after welcoming Jalen Brunson to the team last season.
Brunson made an instant impact on the team and helped the Knicks reach the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
This season, Brunson has taken his game up a notch, and it’s evident from the Knicks’ record in the Eastern Conference.
The first-time NBA All-Star recently shared his honest views on his tenure with the team via New York Basketball on Twitter.
“The organization believes in me. The city believes in me. The fan base believes in me,” Brunson said.
“The organization believes in me. The city believes in me. The fan base believes in me…It’s been a blessing & I’ve just loved every second of it.”

Brunson thanked the organization and the fanbase for showing him nothing but love in the first two years of his tenure.
Jalen Brunson also became an NBA All-Star for the first time in his career and will showcase his talent at the All-Star game this weekend.
Keeping that in mind, it’s evident that Brunson believes it has been a blessing for him to play for the iconic franchise.
Considering Brunson is averaging 27.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game this season, it’s no surprise that he has become a fan-favorite.
The only thing that will truly establish Brunson’s legacy as a member of the Knicks is if he can lead the organization to an NBA Championship.
The Knicks are currently the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 33-22 record and they are undoubtedly one of the favorites to win it all this season.
