Jalen Brunson turned away a lot of money from the New York Knicks, and Carmelo Anthony has something to say about it.
The NBA world is still in shock after the New York Knicks signed Jalen Brunson to a four-year, $156 million extension that saw the All-Star guard turn down about $113 million had he just waited one more year to sign the deal.
. "People is busting their ass out there and isn't make $113 million off the court. I'm talking about people who's been off the court or off the field for years and years, who are the biggest stars out there, they're not making $100 off the court. So that right there is different. When Brunson signed the extension, he arguably became the most well-liked athlete in the biggest city on earth. That should earn him some brownie points with the fanbase and with brands across the world. However, Anthony is right, it would be hard to make up that difference in endorsements alone.
He has the money. He signed two $100+ million contracts in the past two years and he is one of the richest people in the NBA even after turning down all of that money. He could be richer, but that is not his why behind playing basketball.
