Sports. It’s the best. Beautiful piece Macri on a night that indeed returned us all to childhood level affinity for a team and a dude…JB. I too was moved by the Alan Hahn moment, I think especially as a dad whose daughter is turning 5 on Sunday and getting amongst her gifts a Brunson shirt. This story is bigger than basketball. This is a kid that grew up around MSG with Latrell & Allan Houston and now is resurrecting a team with his dad, his godfather, his college buddies and the HC who prompted his family to drop notes saying “the magic is in the work” in his lunchbox. This magical family connection to NY, to the value of preparation, to pushing one’s self beyond what others think one’s ceiling is and ultimately to winning would be dismissed as too cheesy a script for a movie…but it is happening and we are lucky enough to soak it in each game. Finally! We’ve stuck with this team through some shells of rosters and guys that did not give a shit. We earned this too.
