Star point guard Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks have reached the All-Star break point of the 2023-24 season in style, currently sitting in fourth place in the vaunted Eastern Conference playoff picture with a solid 33-22 record. Brunson has played basketball for the Knicks so far this year and has been rewarded with a reserve spot in this year’s All-Star Game, which will be played Sunday night from Indianapolis.
Ahead of the festivities, Brunson appeared on ESPN’s telecast of the annual Celebrity All-Star Game and was asked by reporter Cassidy Hubbarth how it felt to be the centerpiece of one of the NBA’s most iconic franchises.
“The organization believes in me. The city believes in me. The fan base believes in me… It’s been a blessing and I’ve loved every second of it,” Brunson said, per New York Basketball on X, the social media platform formerly called Twitter.
