Jalen Brunson is the ‘King of New York’ with one goal left to finish
NY Post
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Josh Hart has established the court-away-from-the-court. You need to know this.
“I’m the Duke of Manhattan,” Hart announced Wednesday, a few minutes after the Knicks had broken up practice at McAlister Field House on the campus of The Citadel. “OG [Anunoby], he can be the Duke of Queens. Mikal is the Duke of The Bronx.”
Presumably, that’ll leave both Brooklyn and Staten Island to the royal Stretch-5-in-waiting, Karl-Anthony Towns, whose acquisition the team was finally allowed to officially announce Wednesday afternoon.
“Can’t be Mikal in Brooklyn” Hart laughed. “We stole him from there.”
There is one unmistakable ruler in the room, and the rest of the members of his court happily serve at his pleasure. His name is Jalen Brunson.
“He’s the King of New York,” Hart said.
Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
