Knicks coach Mike Brown on Jalen Brunson: “He’s a top-3 MVP candidate. Everybody kind of mentions his name in passing. They don’t do it seriously enough. People say he’s too small. People say he’s a 1B or a 2B. He’s a freaking 1A. He’s an MVP candidate. He is him.”

Knicks coach Mike Brown on the referees in Game 3: “I never thought I’d be in the NBA Finals and see a team get 24 free throw attempts in the second half to another team’s eight. I don’t think I complain much about officials or the fairness when it comes to the free throw attempts. San Antonio is a great team. It’s going to lower our odds big time if we play Game 4 and in the second half they get 24 free throw attempts to our eight. Maybe we were fouling, but they fouled too.”

Knicks coach Mike Brown on Landry Shamet: “I’m talking about his whole career because he’s been a journeyman, but he probably deserved more of an opportunity because what he does out on the floor on both ends is very hard to find in this league, especially at his size, with is mental and physical toughness. We gave him an opportunity and showed him we loved him. He embraced it and he ran with it.”

Mike Brown: “I’m scared to death one of these teams are going to poach my guys. I’m surprised nobody has come at Chris Jent for a head job yet. He’s won Summer League and he’s a lead assistant here. Jordan Brink is fantastic. He’s been doing this (challenges) two years in a row.”

Victor Wembanyama: “Winning the Larry O'Brien is a childhood dream and having a real shot at it, having a chance, a tangible chance at winning it, realizing a dream, it's a lifetime chance. You never know what's going to happen again. The day we win it, it’s going to be an amazing day of realization of a dream. It's almost like the meaning of my life.”
