Your summer Knicks finish 1-4. Some good prospects for end of bench and Westchester. The draft picks look solid. No games til October. We move
"Look what we saw around our Finals, look what we're seeing in the World Cup…The mindshare sports occupies is much greater than it's ever been…I've never heard people talk so much about watch parties…It may be a response to people living more isolated lives, spending much more time on their phones…
Not only did the Knicks score a normal amount of points and win a summer league game, but they got positive contributions not only from their draft picks but several other interesting players, including a local college notable and their one big man. Unfortunately Mo & Pac out but otherwise all good

Sandra Brunson on LinkedIn: "There are moments as a parent that defy words—this was one of them. Watching our son, Jalen, and his teammates fight their way back from a 29‑point deficit was an emotional experience I’ll never forget. Pride, anxiety, hope, disbelief—every feeling showed up at once.
San Antonio will remember this moment like we remember 2025 Game 1 ECF I fear
