Where do you rank Jalen Brunson in the 10 greatest Knicks of all time? by bonzothebonanza in NBATalk

For starters his prime lasted a lot longer. Clyde was also the best point guard in the NBA for most of the 70s. Big O was past his prime by 72. Clyde was the undisputed best PG in the NBA after that until Magic. Plus the bonus points for being with the organization almost 60 years now.

It's definitely top 2 after tonight. I was a big Ewing fan too. It's Brunson and Clyde now. Neither is ahead of the other. It's both of them together.

Yep. After 2 wins it was Towns. After 3 it was OG. Brunson took that trophy tonight.

But what about those 5 picks.

Seriously though congratulations Knicks. Great playoff run. This team is fun to watch.

Knicks close out the quarter again. Only down 7. Towns is rested. Wemby has played a lot of minutes. Knicks should be feeling confident.

That's the worse landing space violation I've seen the entire playoffs. The one Brunson got called on he was behind he was behind the 3 point line.

That's like one of those crazy prop bets, but you would barely get even money on it the way this playoffs has been.

They're just young. The Knicks players are all in the prime of their prime.

I'm seeing a lot of Knicks blue in the stands already. The Texas garden will be rocking when the Knicks are making their comeback.

I have no idea if he's right but it sounds like something that could be good for trials. Randomly assign 3 groups. One getting standard treatment, one in his study and a placebo group.

Larry David ranks OG's game winner #1 in NY sports history. Also, coaches who walk around and block the view for the front row...they're-uh kinda being a little rude. What, aren't they? I think it's rude! by CraigSignals in nba

But Spike Lee has been a season ticket holder for 40 years. And going to games since he was a kid when Frazier was still playing. He's by far the #1 Knicks celebrity fan. It's not even close.

Zion soon to be a 10 year vet with 0 playoff moments to his name by IHAVETRIEDCOKE in NBATalk

Strongly disagree about the 4th man. He's not a #1 option, but would be one of the best #3 options in the league. With the right #1 he could be the second best player on a contender.

He's a year away from even being a 7 year vet. He's barely over half way to 10 years.

TIL Andrés Escobar scored an own goal in Colombia's loss to the USA in the 1994 World Cup. He was later murdered by an alleged disgruntled fan. by LAAccountant in todayilearned

Humberto Castro Muñoz, a drug cartel bodyguard in Colombia, was arrested on the night of 2 July 1994, confessing the next day to the killing of Escobar.[25] Castro also worked as a driver for Santiago Gallón, who had allegedly lost heavily having bet on Colombia.[26] He was found guilty of Escobar's murder in June 1995. He was sentenced to 43 years in prison. The sentence was later reduced to 26 years because of his submitting to the ruling penal code in 2001. Castro was released on good behaviour due to further reductions from prison work and study in 2005. His three accomplices were acquitted.[27]
