New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson has signed a six-year contract extension worth $156.5 million, significantly less than a potential $269 million max extension to provide the Knicks financial flexibility. Despite this, Brunson angered New York fans by openly supporting the Philadelphia Eagles during a Monday Night Football broadcast, leading to backlash and accusations of disloyalty. Brunson defended his fandom, rooted in his South New Jersey upbringing and Villanova college years, while engaging in a debate about the athletic transition between NBA and NFL players. His actions have sparked mixed reactions, with some fans still proclaiming him as the 'King of New York'.
