The Knicks championship celebration turns into a hilarious round of WFAN receipts as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber look back at how Jalen Brunson was talked about before he became a New York sports icon. From skepticism about the signing to doubts over whether Brunson could carry the Knicks, the old takes sound very different now that he has delivered the ultimate payoff.
The conversation revisits reactions from across the station, including concerns about the money, the expectations and whether the Knicks were still stuck as a fringe team. What once felt like cautious analysis now plays like comedy, while also showing just how far Brunson, Leon Rose and the Knicks have come.
