New York Loves Jalen Brunson

AUG 8 ALL LOVE IN NEW YORK Jalen Brunson seems like the king of New York following the NBA playoffs and free agency. In honor of Brunson's leadership throughout the 2024 playoffs, the New York Knicks bestowed him with the role of team captain.

To celebrate Brunson's achievement, the Knicks organized a video that included Julius Randle, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Donte DiVincenzo.

Brunson averaged 32 points and 7.5 assists in the Knicks 2024 playoff campaign.

AUG 8 CURRY COMES CLOSE Team USA just defeated Serbia to advance to the gold medal game against France, and they did it behind some stellar play from Golden State Warriors ' star Stephen Curry .

He scored 36 points on 12-19 shooting from the field, and he made an absurd nine three-pointers while missing just five.

This performance came up just one point short of New York Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony's single-game Team USA scoring record of 37. Curry and the rest of the team will be playing in the gold medal game on Saturday against Victor Wembanyama and Team France.

AUG 7 SPURS SIGN FLYNN Malachi Flynn has bounced around a lot in the last year. He was sent to the New York Knicks as part of the OG Anunoby deal, then he was sent to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic. Now, he is joining his fourth team in the last year.

Per a report by The Athletic's Shams Charania , Flynn is signing a one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs , where he will most likely provide some solid minutes off the bench.

The former Knicks guard exploded for 50 points against the Atlanta Hawks back in March, and the Spurs will be hoping that he can channel some of that to help them this season.
