New York Knicks captain Jalen Brunson is one of the league’s most well-known players. His ball skills and undeniable loyalty to the Knicks has seen basketball fans adore him. But apparently now, he is interested in getting a new luxury wristwatch from a fan.
A viral video shared by a Knicks fan on social media showed a hilarious moment from a friend’s wedding. During the ceremony, the groom was gifted a valuable Rolex watch by his new wife. Despite the expensive gift, the groom was more excited by another present—a framed, blue Brunson jersey signed by the point guard himself.
In the video, the groom could be seen looking surprised for the second gift, with his hands covered around his mouth. He then signaled the person carrying the framed jersey to bring it to his seat. Upon receiving it, the groom kissed the frame before imitating Brunson’s famous three-point celebration. However, after seeing the clip, Jalen Brunson jokingly tweeted he would trade the fan another signed jersey for the watch.
I’ll give you another jersey for the Rolex lol

To Knicks fans, a signed Brunson jersey is probably worth more than a Rolex these days. Brunson has certainly made an impact in New York since joining the franchise in 2022. Over the past two seasons, he has helped revamp the team. One notable example of his dedication was his willingness to take a pay cut to help the Knicks balance their salary cap. Because of this, fans likely see him as the star who could finally bring another NBA title to New York.
Jalen Brunson was trolled by Knicks teammate for taking $113 million pay cut
When news broke out that Jalen Brunson had signed a four-year contract worth $156.6 million, Knicks fans were overjoyed, primarily because the most important person on their roster was staying put ahead of the upcoming season. However, that deal came with a twist, as Brunson had said no to a whopping $113 million!
Surprisingly, his New York Knicks teammate, Josh Hart, saw it as an opportunity to troll him. While speaking on their podcast, The Roommates Show, Hart trolled Brunson for refusing an extra $113 million cash.
You have so much money, you said no to an extra 113 million bro. I don’t have that luxury bro…He buys like 700 thousand dollar cars bro.
Josh Hart said
It’s worth noting that it was a purely humorous exchange between them. Both NBA stars share a great friendship on and off the court, and their podcast together is an example of that brotherhood. As the 2024-25 season gets closer, Hart and Brunson will look to challenge for the championship, given how close they came before.
