Start with a little basketball just after the announcement that the NBA coaches voted him into his 22nd consecutive All-Star game.

LeBron James played in, we'll call it perhaps his final game at Madison Square Garden.

That remains to be seen.

Either way, it was all Knicks in the second half against LeBron's leaker.

Season 9, 13 assists for Jalen Brunson.

They're off on three, An I know, he skies his lands.

What a board, what a putback.

Wow.

Oh, gee.

On the offense of glass here, taking a page from Mitchell Robinson on the glass.

That's Mike Tariko, Reggie Miller, from their first Sunday night basketball broadcast on NBC,

a quiet shooting night for Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns. But the Knicks spread the wealth and an eventual 112-100 win over the Lakers. That's six in a row now. He had 25 points for O'G. Ananoby. Josh Hart had 20 for a third consecutive game. First time he's done that as a Nick. And Landry Shabbat was huge off the bench 23 points including six

threes here's Brunson on being more of a distributor in this particular game shots not

falling you got impact the game somehow somewhere else I kept seeing two people

and so just trying to make the right play at the right time and we were getting good looks

and those 13 assists for Brunson that Torrico mentioned a season high for Brunson. The other end of the floor contributed to the second half turnaround as well. Defense, my pressure, physicality turned up a little bit. A little different from the first half. It was big time for us. That's what we needed. Got six in a row now, man. Yeah. And that's good. They're playing their best basketball, and it's all under the auspice of this potential trade with Janus Anza Ticompo happening before Thursday. And the question is, where is Janus going? Is he going? I got to believe he is going, because I got to believe there's intense pressure from Milwaukee to make a deal. There is, but they're going to try to wait till the end of the year. But I just don't think with the temperature that's getting put on or turned up on this situation that they're going to be able to do it. I just think I just think yonis wants out now and he does but he doesn't have to well at some point one of these

organizations can say eff off guy we don't have to do it now not going to happen they owe him because

he won a championship okay so we can do whatever he wants he could act like a total jackass as a hundred

million dollars that he that he's million that he's earned himself.

And there's this thing about winning a championship or an MVP that somehow the organization owes you.

You don't owe the organization.

I mean, it's crazy.
