Jalen Brunson's reduced contract means the New York Knicks have to win a championship in order to make it worth it.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is making arguably the biggest sacrifice in NBA history by signing his new contract this summer as opposed to next.
Leaving that much money on the table has earned Brunson a ton of praise from fans, media members and critics from all over. It even earned him a captaincy from the Knicks, cementing his place as part of franchise history forever. Brunson won two championships in college at Villanova and is hungry for his first NBA title. He's close to getting there as the Knicks won 50 games this past season, earning them the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs. The Knicks were one win away from going to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000, but fell in seven games to the Indiana Pacers after the injuries began to pile up too much.
