NEW YORK — New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson used a public appearance at City Hall on June 18 2026 to send a blunt message to those who have questioned him or the team, declaring, “Don’t have to say s—t to them.”
Brunson’s comment came while he addressed a crowd gathered inside the building. The 27-year-old guard did not elaborate, but the remark was clearly aimed at critics who have doubted the Knicks’ progress and his role as a franchise cornerstone.
The visit to City Hall was organized by local officials to recognize the Knicks for their performance during the 2025-26 NBA season. Mayor Eric Adams praised the team’s resilience before handing the microphone to Brunson, who closed his brief speech with the pointed statement.
Brunson joined the Knicks in 2022 and has become the centerpiece of the club’s offense, averaging 26.4 points and 6.1 assists per game this past season. New York finished 50-32 and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals before falling in six games.
Team representatives did not comment further on Brunson’s remarks, and the guard left the podium without taking questions.
