Jalen Brunson got the respect and love in the most famous city in the world where he good for the next 50 years there no matter where he go
Kevin Durant admits he would have struggled to turn down $100 million like Jalen Brunson did, saying his friends and business circle would probably have talked him out of it
Durant says he understands why Brunson made the decision, especially if the bigger plan was to give the Knicks more financial flexibility to build a championship team. But he admits he would have needed to sit down with his closest friends and advisors before making such a huge sacrifice.
He believes most players would find it difficult to walk away from that kind of guaranteed money, especially when there’s no certainty they would ever recover it.
Even if Brunson eventually earns another $100 million, Durant points out that he could still look back and think about the additional $100 million he gave up.
Still, KD gives Brunson credit for taking the risk, especially after it resulted in a championship and helped cement his place in New York.View quoted post on X
