Jalen Brunson isn’t ruling out a return to the 3-point competition after losing in his second try. The Knicks guard didn’t get past the first round Saturday after rushing through his final rack as time was running low. He finished with 18 points, and Miami’s Tyler Herro emerged as a first-time champion by beating Golden State’s Buddy Hield in the final. “Started off hot. I felt great. And then. Oops,” Brunson said. “I feel like I rushed the last rack. You could practice all you want, but once you get out there it’s a tad different.”

He also likes being teammates with Brunson, who Towns has deferred to as the Captain since arriving from that stunning trade. “I didn’t come over to be a distraction or disrupt the flow or be on an ego trip or anything.

And I’m just happy we have a team full of guys who are willing to sacrifice and look at the big picture and do what it takes to bring the city wins every single night, and hopefully it results in a chip.” -via New York Post / February 16, 2025
“It’s been good. Last year being the first one and not really knowing what to expect. This time, I think I’m actually kind of enjoying it,” he said. “So it’s been fun having my family here. That’s the best part about.” -via New York Post / February 16, 2025
Brunson, who is shooting 40 percent this season from beyond the arc, was trying to become the first Knick and first lefty to win the competition. He might try again. “Maybe. I don’t know,” said Brunson, who joined Trent Tucker as the only Knicks to compete in two 3-point contests. “I’ll leave that door open.” -via New York Post / February 16, 2025
