    J.A. Adande On Jalen Brunson's Historic Rise & The Knicks Championship

    For decades, Knicks fans wondered who would finally deliver New York's next NBA championship. The answer turned out to be Jalen Brunson. Basketball Hall of Fame journalist J.A. Adande joins CP The Fanchise for a wide-ranging conversation about the Knicks' historic championship and what it meant to witness Madison Square Garden host the NBA Finals again. J.A. describes the experience as almost surreal after five decades of disappointment and reflects on watching longtime Knicks broadcaster Mike Breen finally call the franchise's championship moment. Then the conversation turns to the player who brought the trophy home. Jalen Brunson scored 45 points in the championship-clinching Game 5 and captured Finals MVP, completing one of the most unlikely superstar ascensions in Knicks history. J.A. examines why Brunson's accomplishment is especially rare for a player his size, revisits the Becky Hammon debate and explains why Brunson's decision to sacrifice money to give New York greater roster flexibility deserves more attention. CP The Fanchise and J.A. also explore a fascinating question: Did Brunson benefit from never being expected to save the Knicks? Unlike Patrick Ewing, Carmelo Anthony and the many superstar targets Knicks fans dreamed about over the years, Brunson didn't arrive in New York with championship-or-bust expectations. Instead, he exceeded every expectation. Plus, J.A. discusses Mike Brown's evolution as a coach, Karl-Anthony Towns' championship buy-in, Leon Rose's roster construction, Mitchell Robinson's departure, the changing relationship between NBA players and journalists and lessons from J.A.'s Hall of Fame career.

    Championship or MVP? Draymond Green's Jalen Brunson Take | Worst Take

    NBA MVP or NBA champion — which accomplishment matters more? Draymond Green sparked the debate after responding to Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter's conversation about championships versus regular-season MVP awards. Draymond argues that the real comparison shouldn't be an MVP against the 11th or 12th man on a championship roster. Instead, compare an MVP to the No. 1 option who leads his team to a championship. And that's where Jalen Brunson enters the conversation. After leading the New York Knicks to their first championship in 53 years, Brunson gives Draymond a perfect example. How does Brunson's accomplishment compare to Derrick Rose becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history? CP The Fanchise and Alex Trataros react to Draymond's argument and debate why a championship as the No. 1 option ultimately carries more weight. They also discuss whether Brunson should already be held in higher regard than Derrick Rose, why Rose's injury-altered career makes the comparison difficult, and how Brunson's championship résumé compares with MVP winners such as Russell Westbrook and James Harden. Plus, the guys revisit Dirk Nowitzki's legendary 2011 championship run and explain why iconic playoff runs tend to live longer in basketball history than individual regular-season awards.

    Should The Knicks Trade Deuce McBride? | Knicks Trade Debate

    Would the Knicks really trade Deuce McBride? New York just won a championship, but maintaining a title contender under the NBA’s second-apron rules means difficult decisions are coming. Miles McBride is entering the final year of his contract, and the Knicks will eventually have major financial decisions involving Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and the rest of their core. That creates a fascinating question: Should Leon Rose trade Deuce before potentially losing leverage? CP The Fanchise and Ari from Manhattan debate why McBride could become one of New York’s most valuable trade assets. The Knicks still need additional frontcourt depth behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond, while the additions of Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet — along with the continued development of Tyler Kolek — could make the guard rotation deep enough to survive without Deuce. But trading him would also mean losing one of New York’s better perimeter defenders and three-point shooters. Is that risk worth taking if McBride can help the Knicks acquire a younger big man or another long-term asset? The guys also examine how championship contenders such as Oklahoma City make similar decisions before role players become more expensive. Keep Deuce or trade him?

    Should The Knicks Trade Deuce McBride? + Leon Rose vs Sam Presti

    The Knicks are champions — but now Leon Rose has to figure out how to keep the window open. One of the first difficult decisions could involve Miles “Deuce” McBride. With Deuce entering the final year of his contract, CP The Fanchise and Ari from Manhattan debate whether New York should move him before he reaches free agency. The Knicks still need additional frontcourt depth, while long-term financial commitments to Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are approaching. Under the NBA’s second-apron restrictions, keeping every member of a championship roster simply may not be realistic. Could McBride become the asset New York uses to add a younger big? And with Jose Alvarado, Landry Shamet and Tyler Kolek in the backcourt, is Deuce becoming more expendable? Before that discussion, the guys react to Jalen Brunson’s comments about moving past the championship. Brunson says the Knicks don’t want to talk about last season’s trophy anymore — they want to enter the new year with an even tougher mentality. CP and Ari also break down New York’s repeat chances and the biggest threats in the Eastern Conference. Then they settle into a major front-office debate: Leon Rose or Sam Presti? Presti has built one of the league’s most sustainable models through drafting, player development and asset accumulation. Rose, however, built a championship roster in New York without drafting a single starter — signing Brunson, trading for OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, acquiring Josh Hart and making the bold decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau. Which executive has done the more impressive job?

    Brunson vs. Shai-Gilgeous Alexander: Who's Better?

    Is Jalen Brunson better than SGA right now? It's time for another edition of Worst Take on Knicks Weekly. Max Kellerman argues that Brunson's championship run proved he's more valuable than two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, pointing specifically to how the two superstar guards performed against San Antonio during the postseason. That leads CP The Fanchise and Alex Trataros into a heated Brunson-vs.-SGA debate. Alex takes Brunson, pointing to his ability to deliver in high-pressure situations, his playmaking, his physicality and a postseason run that ended with a 45-point championship-clinching performance. CP isn't ready to go quite that far. While acknowledging that Brunson has earned his place among the NBA's very best players, CP gives SGA a slight edge based on his overall offensive efficiency, defense, playmaking and larger body of work. So what matters more when ranking the two: regular-season dominance or delivering a championship when the stakes are highest?

The conversation then shifts to Draymond Green's argument over another question with major implications for Brunson's legacy: Is winning a championship as the No. 1 option more valuable than winning an NBA MVP? The guys discuss Derrick Rose, Charles Barkley, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and other MVPs who never won championships while examining just how much Brunson's title has changed the way he'll be remembered.

    Knicks Leave Gotham Sports For DAZN: EVERYTHING You Need To Know

    The way Knicks fans stream games is changing. MSG Networks and YES Network are moving their direct-to-consumer streaming experience from Gotham Sports to DAZN, and CP The Fanchise goes directly to the source to find out what Knicks fans should expect. DAZN SVP of Strategy and Business Development Xander Berlinsky joins Knicks Fan TV to explain how the transition will work. Existing Gotham Sports subscribers are expected to receive a streamlined migration process, with accounts carried over and users primarily needing to reset their passwords. Customers who already paid for annual plans will have the remainder of those subscriptions honored after the transition. What about pricing? Berlinsky says DAZN plans to maintain the existing Gotham Sports pricing structure at launch, with potential promotional offers around the beginning of the season. Cable subscribers will also continue to have the ability to authenticate through their television provider without purchasing an additional streaming subscription. CP and Xander also tackle one of the biggest questions from Knicks fans outside New York: Will DAZN eliminate regional restrictions? The answer is no. Knicks broadcasts will remain subject to league-mandated geographic restrictions, meaning out-of-market viewers will generally still need NBA League Pass. Then the conversation turns toward the streaming experience itself. Xander discusses DAZN's approach to reducing latency, support across connected TVs, browsers, gaming consoles, phones and tablets, plus potential interactive features including live chats, quizzes and polls. Could Knicks fans eventually get alternate broadcasts similar to the ManningCast? Xander says those features won't be available at launch, but different alternate presentations are among the possibilities DAZN and MSG could explore over time. And CP has already volunteered for the job. Everything Knicks fans need to know about the move from Gotham Sports to DAZN before the new season begins.

    Knicks Made $182M During Championship Run! James Dolan's Wall Street Play | Knicks Business

    The New York Knicks are NBA champions — and now Wall Street is paying attention. On this edition of Knicks Business, CP The Fanchise is joined by Investopedia Editor-in-Chief and longtime Knicks fan Caleb Silver to follow the money behind New York's championship run. The Knicks generated approximately $182 million in playoff revenue from nine home games, while MSG Sports enjoyed dramatically improved financial results and its stock climbed during the championship run. CP and Caleb break down why those massive revenue numbers don't tell the entire story, including the significant expenses involved in operating an NBA franchise and why sports teams can command multibillion-dollar valuations despite relatively thin operating margins. Then comes James Dolan's potentially transformative Wall Street move: separating the Knicks and Rangers into distinct companies. What does the separation accomplish? What could it reveal about the Knicks' standalone valuation? What would the proposed MSGK ticker mean for investors? And could the restructuring make a future Knicks sale easier? Caleb also explains why billionaires, private equity firms and institutional capital continue pouring money into professional sports, how NBA ownership can function as a long-term investment and why recent franchise transactions could push valuations even higher. Finally, CP and Caleb return to basketball: Can the Knicks defend their championship? How should New York manage Jalen Brunson and the roster during the regular season? And after finally reaching the mountaintop, has the mentality of Knicks fans changed? It's the intersection of Knicks basketball, Wall Street and the multibillion-dollar business of the NBA.
