New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson said the team’s work is “only beginning” after ending the franchise’s long championship drought.
Speaking on July 16, 2026, Brunson noted that winning the title removed one burden but immediately created what he called a “bigger challenge” — proving the victory was no accident and remaining a contender year after year.
The guard did not specify how the Knicks plan to maintain their edge, but emphasized that the roster and coaching staff must avoid complacency as offseason preparations move forward.
The Knicks captured the NBA championship earlier this year, their first since the drought referenced by Brunson. Details of the team’s upcoming offseason program have not yet been announced.
