Jalen Brunson is officially the captain of the New York Knicks.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson has acted like the captain of the ship for his first two years with the team, but now he has the official title.
"The New York Knicks have a deep and storied history and today we are immensely proud to add to that lineage by naming Jalen Brunson as our captain,". "Jalen is a natural born leader, and I am confident he will continue to represent our organization, fans, city and his teammates with the same heart, grit and class that he has displayed each and every day since he came to New York.
During the offseason, Brunson showed his biggest commitment to winning yet, forgoing $113 million by signing his extension this summer instead of next year. That displayed Brunson's willingness to sacrifice to win, which makes him an excellent fit to be the official captain of the Knicks.
