Greetings, New York Knicks Family! As I think back on my time with the team, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation for all of the love and support I have received. I am writing this letter to tell you how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. Ever since I set foot on Madison Square Garden’s court, I have felt a deep sense of belonging. The Knicks community’s passion and dedication are second to none, and it has truly been an honour to wear blue and orange. Your unwavering support has kept me motivated to give it my all each and every game.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Knicks organisation for their belief in me and for creating a space where I can develop as a player and a person. My career has been greatly influenced by your dedication to excellence and your financial support of my growth. I am honoured to be a part of this illustrious franchise, and I have been greatly motivated by the trust you have placed in me.
My teammates, coaches, and staff—your support and friendship have been priceless. Our relationships have transcended the court, and I am appreciative of the connections and experiences we have shared. We have been stronger as a team through every practice, match, triumph, and obstacle we have faced. It is an honour to battle with you.
And thank you to the Knicks’ lifeblood, the supporters, for your unwavering enthusiasm and assistance. Your support for our team never ceases to inspire me, and your yells reverberate long after the final buzzer sounds. It has been an honour to play in front of you, and this journey is all the more memorable because of your passion for the game.
I pledge to give it my all for this team and this city as we continue on this adventure together. Let’s continue moving forward, aiming high, and creating treasured experiences. When we work together, we can do anything.
Sincere gratitude,
Brunson, Jalen
