Brunson has been named to the All Star team and earned second-team All-NBA honors in each of the last two seasons. Hart just completed perhaps the best season of his career with 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

On his Roommates Show podcast with Josh Hart, Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson speaks out for the first time after the firing of Tom Thibodeau.

Brunson, in particular, has known Thibodeau nearly his entire life. He was a young kid when his father, Rick, played for the Knicks for two seasons from 1998-2000. Thibodeau was a Knicks assistant at the time. And Rick Brunson later served as an assistant on Thibodeau’s staff with the Bulls and Timberwolves before reuniting again on the Knicks.
