New York — Guards Jalen Brunson and forward-center Karl-Anthony Towns said they are paying little attention to the growing excitement surrounding the New York Knicks, insisting outside praise carries no weight with the team.
“Doesn’t mean s–t,” one of the players said when asked about the preseason buzz, according to comments published on Oct. 20, 2025. Both veterans emphasized their focus remains on day-to-day preparation rather than public expectations.
The remarks come as the Knicks enter a highly anticipated season with a retooled roster and elevated hopes among fans and analysts. Brunson and Towns, however, made clear that they prefer to measure success by wins on the court, not headlines.
