God bless! Christ loves you! Psalms 62 Jeremiah 29:11✝🤍💪🙏
Jesus is the King! Jesus loves you! God bless! Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Psalms 62 – Truly my soul finds rest in God; … my salvation comes from Him. Truly He is my rock and my salvation; … He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. ✝🤍🙏💪
He really wants to win, the front office better take advantage of
I didn't think i could love Brunson more than i already did. What a man. Team 1st 🤟
Just ruined the market for every star guard about to get paid next year. This is lowkey selfish in a way.
that is great my boy deserves it.
Brunson made more money in the last two contracts, Then he ever would have thought when he entered the NBA. I am sure He is happy of where he's at and not risking it. He is set for life as long he is responsible with his bag. And guess what if can get $300 Mill+ by 2028
Brunson such a team player 😮
Im not a knicks fan but i have to admit the knicks got a special person in Jalen Brunson. He is all about team play and winning together.
Whoa an extension for JALEN BRUNSON 4 YEAR 156.5 MILLON DOLLARS 💵 EXTENSION WITH THE NEW YORK KNICKS WOW ISN,T THIS fun
If they win the NBA title everybody gets paid. It is not itched in stone but this helps the team in the long run. The Nova Knicks will be fun to watch…
💯🏀🏆
All you NewYork fan should start buying all Brunson’s shoes , jersey bath water to help
Him get that money that he gave ya’ll just to win lol
Well if he doesnt win a ring, he threw away 113 million to go with it.
🐐
Bro!! Wow!!! Jalen Brunson!!! 🫡🗽
REAL 🥷🏾 TYPE SHI
Good for you. Hope it works out. I would have taken the 100Million more though because basketball career will be over in 10years and that money would have been big for the next 50 years and life changing for his family, kids, grand kids, and great grand kids.
The next extension for over $320m, 4 years is insane! To watch a basketball game would cost $400 at MSG in the nose bleed section.
If Jalen Brunson can win an NBA Championship for the New York Knicks during this contract extension he'll make that $113 million in other places.
This is terrible. When his legs go out and he win championships for New York. They not gone take care of him. Look at klay. Y’all better take them bags while yall can
I know why Jalen did it he earned himself a massive bag💯👍
Better to accept the deal before team won’t likely give him extension
He’s a true LEADER who really wants to win. Not just says it like these other diva stars. As a Knicks fan for 30+ years, I am not only excited, but proud of the culture that is coming together here. Jalen is already my favorite player EVER.
This man should never have to pay for a meal in NYC ever again 💯
He's crazy
Selflessness in motion. He a new yorker at heart. He want to bring a chip back home. A true warrior and loyal to his. My guy shows that pride and money don't matter when your mind and heart in the right place.
How do you ensure the video remains engaging from start to finish?
he doing what all those ringless players (Cp3, harden, westbrook etc.) didnt
Good for brunson he wants to win.
Mavericks look even more stupid right now!
Take notes lebron
Let's go cavs 💪
I love Jalen Brunson
If the team is good and he's leading the way he'll make that back in endorsements while saving the team money to be able to sign more stars
Start planning the statue now!
This is an NBA MVP move.
If Knicks win he’ll go down as a legend like Derek jeter & Eli manning
What a win for New York, he better not be paying for anything
No championshiop guranteed
JB👑
Knick G.O.A.T
That's what you call the ultimate team player.
Bontemps is a hater 💯🤡
A legitimate question is how is Brown off the team when he is arguably better than, Haliburton, White, Holiday… and Edwards. I like Edward’s but I don’t think he is better than Brown now.
Selfless King 👑
