Anybody who has watched Jailon Brunson over the last four years.

0:03.5

I mean, my God, I mean, you could see it and just how great of a basketball player, facilitator, leader he is.

0:11.2

And I saw where Stefan Bande went out and got Mark Messier's point of view,

0:16.6

because we always have to go back to the great Mark Messia.

0:19.3

Well, I mean, we've made the comparison. Hey, listen, that's what I'm saying. You have to go back to the great Mark Messia. Well, I mean, we've made the comparison.

0:21.5

Hey, listen, that's what I'm saying. You have to go back to the Great Mark Messier to really... I mean, you could ask Derek Jeter, too. I would think he would be somebody along those lines, but Derek did it, you know, what, four or five times? I mean, he was crazy. Also, he was a homegrown guy as opposed to these two guys coming from somewhere else.

0:36.5

Yeah, but, yeah.

0:37.1

Legends in New York.

0:37.9

Exactly.

0:38.6

But still, I just think that the brilliance of one,

0:43.3

Joe and Brunson is so underappreciated because of his size. So he's, he's listed at 6-2,

0:50.2

and the way that he can get any shot off against any player is nothing short of remarkable.

0:56.8

Now, he's done this his whole life because he's built the way he's built and he knows no differently.

1:01.2

And it seems so easy to him. And for us watching him, it's so amazing because normally he's playing against a guy that's much taller than he is.

1:10.4

Yeah, I mean, I don't understand when people still want to hold him down or not give him the respect that he deserves. It's ridiculous. I mean, it's almost like a mini version of Caitlin Clark, where you see like the other end, old NBA players or people have been around the league, like don't want to give him the full credit he deserves for whatever reason, and it doesn't make any sense. It's like, why are you in any way trying to discredit what he's doing? Now, he's gotten a lot of accolades as well, and of course, we love him, and that's what counts as the Knicks fans, and we appreciate everything about him. So if he pulls this off, then there's

1:44.5

nothing anybody can say. And good, you know, the way I looked at some of this stuff is any

1:49.0

motivation, any extra motivation, any fuel you can give this team and make them in this time

1:54.8

off that they have believed that the world is against them. We've seen that work with other

1:58.8

championship teams in the past. That's

2:01.2

awesome. And I did love the fact that, you know, they have been talking to Mike Brown and are

2:06.2

approaching this layoff much differently than the last layoff. And they're going to scrimmage

harder. They're going to practice harder. They're going to do things differently. So this is a team
