Jalen Brunson Thanks NY in LinkedIn Post After Knicks' NBA Title Win, 'Everything I Ever Dreamed Of'

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson shared a post on LinkedIn after he and his team celebrated their NBA championship victory with a parade in Manhattan.

Among other remarks, Brunson stated the championship was "everything I ever dreamed of," thanked New York and lauded his family, Knicks fans and his teammates.

"Winning an NBA Championship with the New York Knicks is everything I ever dreamed of. The fans, the city, this organization…This is why I came to New York. I'm so proud of this team. No matter the situation, we never stopped believing in each other or lost sight of our goal. With enough work and enough belief, your dreams are possible and you can overcome any obstacle. Whatever it is in life, believe that you belong. People might disagree but let that strengthen your belief because with hard work, preparation, and the right mindset, anything is possible. I can't wait to celebrate with my family, my teammates, the city of New York, and everyone who's been here from day one. We don't win this championship without you!

"I also look forward to continuing to support other people's dreams through my work with the Second Round Foundation, where our mission is helping young people determine their own success no matter where they come from. It is important to me to support the under-resourced, under-represented, and under-estimated, and to ensure that they have the tools, guidance, and belief they need to achieve their dreams. Thank you, New York. I am forever grateful. And always remember…The Magic is in the Work."
