NEW YORK — These days, Jalen Brunson doesn’t have time for haters. Especially not today.
New York City feted the Knicks Thursday, June 18 in a ticker-tape parade to commemorate the team’s first NBA championship in 53 years. The team rolled up to the Canyon of Heroes in Downtown Manhattan, culminating with a ceremony at City Hall.

While there, Brunson, the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, clapped back at critics with a feisty message.
“There are a lot of people who have a lot of opinions, but when you prove them wrong, you don’t have to say (expletive) to them,” Brunson told the crowd, which erupted in cheers immediately afterward. “Nah, they don’t deserve it. Appreciate y’all, thank you.”
