Jalen Brunson on winning a championship for the New York Knicks. Brunson: "What can make this experience 10 times better if we end it and if we win a championship? Obviously, that's our number one goal above all." McMahon: "The 73 was the last one, is that right? I went there because it's a big opportunity. Yeah, yeah. No pressure." Brunson: "No pressure at all, yeah. It's been a long time. But I feel like we have an opportunity." @jalenbrunson1 @StephMcMahon

NBA Champion Jalen Brunson on listening to Justin Bieber songs before each game. "After our team meeting right before we run out, it's always a Bieber song." "In my freshman year of college, it's when "Purpose" came out, the "Purpose" album came out. And then I listened to it. Like, before games, I would listen to it." "And like, we were winning, we're playing well. And then we won a national championship my freshman year. So all right, I'm just trying to keep this a thing." @jalenbrunson1 @StephMcMahon

Jeremy Lin on eating $5 footlongs at Subway everyday to save money before the NBA draft. "I was just trying to save money, so I was just eating Subway everyday cause they had $5 footlong." "Like I was just eating until I was like 75% full, cause I was like if kept eating and eating that's another $5.25." @JLin7 @pablofindsout

An emotional Melo on finally making peace with Jeremy Lin about their time in New York. "Regardless of what you thought we was going through, what I thought we were going through. If it took 14 years to sit on this couch and hash that out and talk." "Or if it took me taking some time out to just spend two hours with you on the phone and really answering and the questions that you have." "It took me to go through what I went through to have the time to come back and be at peace being able to answer all your questions so I appreciate that." @carmeloanthony @7PMinBrooklyn @JLin7

Jeremy Lin on the rumors that NBA teams just wanted him for jersey & ticket sales. "I signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Warriors and the first thing that comes out is, he's just here for jersey sales." "That's what's unique about my story is nobody has really seen somebody like me come along. So nobody knew how to deal with it." "And I was caught in that early on as a Rookie. So you had the owner who really wanted me, you had other people who didn't believe in me, than we had this whole thing is he here for ticket sales or here to play ball?" @JLin7 @7PMinBrooklyn

FIFA President Gianni Infantino asking IShowSpeed why he isn't playing in the World Cup 🤣 Gianni: "So you don't play? How come?" Speed: "Bro they got to draft me. I'm ready. 2030 I'm playing in the World Cup!" @ishowspeedsui @FIFAWorldCup

Melo asking Jeremy Lin what he could have done better as a teammate on the Knicks. Melo: "Was there something that you would have loved to see differently from me as your teammate in those moments?" Lin: "When I was trying to come back to the playoffs against the Miami Heat, like I wasn't ready to play." "And I get crushed in the media. And I was like Melo I wish that you were one of the vets at least that came out and like back me up a little bit cause I was hellbent on trying to play that series." @carmeloanthony @JLin7 @7PMinBrooklyn

Jeremy Lin on how he felt when Melo said his $25M contract with the Rockets was "ridiculous." "But I'm like, so now he's bagging my contract and I'm like bro." "I'm piecing together all these stories and so I'm like why would my teammates come out and say like it wasn't cool with everybody in the locker room?" "It's so confusing, but at the same time I'm also like I don't know if anybody really knew what the other person was totally thinking." @JLin7 @7PMinBrooklyn @carmeloanthony

GM ☀️ Don’t be afraid to dream BIG. Just do it.

Jeremy Lin on the Knicks making $100M in revenue from Linsanity but he only made $400K "I'm seeing stats like I drove in $100M in revenue, I got paid $400K and then I got dropped. And I never got an offer in free agency." "My exit from the New York Knicks crushed me. Like I was messed up. Not just because I wasn't going back to New York, but because of how it happened." @JLin7 @7PMinBrooklyn

Gm! Happy SpaceX IPO Day 🚀 Are you aping in?

Jeremy Lin on God's timing after he signed his first NBA contract. "God's timing is so crazy, because I finally signed with the Warriors on a partial guarantee rookie minimum. Within 4 weeks, both my parents were laid off." "My parents who have been computer engineers their whole life they got laid off within 2 weeks of each other, this is within 4 weeks with me signing with Golden State. They couldn't find a job after that. Nobody would hire." @JLin7 @pablofindsout

So… about last night at Madison Square Garden. 🙏

Elon Musk on initially thinking SpaceX will probably fail. "I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear." "In fact I told people this, look we are probably going to fail but we should give it a try. Because if there is not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly space bearing civilization." @elonmusk @SpaceX
