Ok coach, fine, but how? Some tools for developing this skill: 1️⃣ focus on what you can control rather than the many things outside of your control. The whims and levers that move this world are strong. Don’t bother with what you can’t manage, deal with what you can

When I think of the 2026 Knicks, I’ll think of Brunson’s clutch barrage and OG’s tip first. But after of that, I’ll think of this play. It’s everything I love about basketball, a team selflessly solving a seemingly unsolvable problem. The beautiful game. x.com/SamQuinnCBS/status/206…

0-0. @KnickFilmSkool @NBA_NewYork @_leeescobedo @TommyBeer @DJAceNBA @BenRitholtzNBA @JCMacriNBA @AndrewJClaudio_ I appreciate you all for the terrific content you’ve poured into the Knicks fan experience!

"Never be afraid to fail... You put the confidence you have in everything you do when the lights are on because of everything you've done when no one is watching." Jalen Brunson on the mindset it takes to play and win at the highest level. Game 5: Saturday, 8:30pm/et, ABC

Since the content is flowing freely, figured I’d put this here again. Some off-day reading: hoopsminded.com/post/where-d…

It’s always 0-0

“0-0. Stay desperate at all times.” - Mikal Bridges

How many times have we heard @nyknicks Coach Mike Brown say “I’ve got to help them X” instead of “they have to X” ?? Answer: many times. Leadership comes in many forms. This is servant leadership.

Not a savior, not a star, just wants to win. If you are building the psychological profile of the best leader possible, you’d build JB

Big props to this crew! You all do incredible work and it’s clearly a T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More). Thank you! We used to have sport talk radio, now we have @KnicksFilm 💯🧡💙

Jalen Brunson (@jalenbrunson1) has the @nyknicks in the #NBAFinals and is playing like he's the mayor of New York. 🏙️ He credits a large part of his remarkable run to the belief the organization entrusted within him, and explains how belief is the most special gift 🎁 a leader can give: 💸 Belief becomes borrowed confidence. Long before people fully trust themselves, they often trust the expectations of someone they respect. Great organizations don’t just evaluate potential, they lend the certainty of their belief systems and processes until the individual can carry it on their own within their own habits and actions. 🔺 Telling someone “I believe in you” creates psychological safety. Showing them you believe in them after missed shots, bad games, or public failure empowers agency. Anyone can support confidence when outcomes are good. Trust becomes transformational when it survives AND surfaces in adversity. ♥️ The strongest teams are built on mutual investment. When a coach keeps pushing the chips in on a player during hard moments, belief stops being motivational language and becomes relational proof. That alignment connects both people to the mission at a deeper level, because success and failure are no longer experienced alone. A player will eventually BECOME the story the people they trust keep telling them about themselves. So leadership is the responsibility of speaking LIFE and BELIEF so consistently, and proving it so relentlessly, that doubt no longer sounds true.

This is what it felt like. The energy in the building was electric.

Collect the whole set!

You make the KAT trade and bring in a Mike Brown to explore your ceiling — this has to be what that looks like. This has to be the best case scenario of that unfolding. Don’t hold the line at good. Explore your ceiling. Go for it @nyknicks #knicks

In this moment I’m reminded of why I love the game of basketball. In part; the connection that grew with my mother, by way of a shared favorite basketball team. #Knicks

What jumps off the page time and again with @nyknicks Head Coach Mike Brown? Humility. A servant leader. Values mental performance. Seasoned. Battle-tested. Open. A leader who seeks diverse perspective and keeps the final word. A modern leader. #Knicks 🧢tip @krispursiainen
