And It's 53 years later for the New York Knicks Jalen m history, I used to joke that the last time anyone took a knick game seriously was Woody Allen in Annie Hall and that was then, in 70's when the Knicks were still a power house.
It was not to be for Carmelo Anthony and Stoudamire but Jalen made the Knicks a nack again.
Watching him vija CRICIFY last year, I predicted the Knicks to win but I commented that Jalen needs to trust his teammates more, takes on too much and that will wear him out, he drives a lot in open play, he needs to command more like Rondo and Magic Johnson, he's so pivotal.
But a Finals MVP is dream come true, I believed I prayed for him. being a draft of my favourite team the Dallas Mavericks, I still have a soft spot in my heart as I cherish the special relationship the Knicks have with the Mavericks, I also had high hopes for Porzingis, and think Cooper Flagg is a flap in the right direction, Maverick just need that hutzpah that kind of teeth in play we see in Wembayama and the Spurs.
But Jalen is proof that anyone can make it if you are determined, he was the 33rd Pick, the 33rd pick.
Now he's finals MVP.
Congratulations Jalen, we will be watching you from afar, go and shine and a happy birthday in advance beautiful man. Congratulations, your hard work have finally paid off.
Shine on
