And imagine the emotions of Jalen Brunson sharing this moment with his father, the two of them, able to be there together as that final horn sounds.

The second round pick from Dallas, 45 points.

You know, life is not perfect, but there are perfect moments.

And there's one right there.

I mean, it was like an unbelievably heartwarming thing to see Jalen and Rick Brunson hugging,

and the whole country was like, can you imagine having a father-son thing?

But I don't know if everybody knows the true kind of depths and parameters of the

relationship.

Rick Brunson is a hard driving guy.

And even like, even in the moments after them winning the championship, he kind of, he never wants Jalen to get to above his station.

Like, I'll give you an example.

We've got it.

Rick Brunson with the ESPN crew, because, you know, getting a 53-year drought or whatever,

and playing the way he did,

not just being the best player on a championship team, being the straw that stirs the drink,

and being having been that for the last few years with the Knicks,

there are a lot of Knicks fans are like, you know what?

We might have to rethink who the greatest Nick of all time is. And Rick Brunson and Jalen Brunson has some claim to that. And Rick Brunson was like, no, he doesn't. You know, I love my son. Patrick Gouldering, the best Nick that I've ever witnessed. Oh, I didn't say that. No, I just want people would like, you know, it was, I was one. Well, I'm going to say it's going to be debatable.

It can be debatable. No, no, it's going to be debatable now because the other thing, you know, what he has done is he has ignited a culture that was not lit.

It was, the fuse was there. I called it the lamp that was not lit. It was, the fuse was there.

It was, I called it the, the lamp that was plugged in with no power.

And they just, it was not, it was no power in New York.
