Jalen Brunson On Why He Chose To Take A Massive Pay Cut On His Contract | The View

Its only a bad idea if it doesn't work. Now he's legendary and hes due a Supermax next contract. But so is KAT so...

There is one person some New Yorkers know and hold on high regard for some reason and that is Henrik Lundqvist, he did the exact opposite to what Jalen Brunson did and milked NY Rangers salary cap to the last cent, signing contract that was 2x more than the second highest paid goaltender at the time was paid (who was also better than him). This single move lost Rangers the cup that year because they couldnt afford rentals for the playoffs anymore and fell from lack of productivity in the end.

Lebron couldnt do this even as a billionaire 😂

I honestly dont think that MAGA would exist without the View

His parents have been a great influence in his life. His father talked to him about that deal.

Im so glad New York won the chip instead of the arrogance Wemby Spurs.

Usually a paycut means taking 10 mio less over the course of a contract..100 mio is unheard of…but it just shows you how intelligent brunson is..he knew he couldnt win alone…most guys talk about winning but take every dime they can get and then conplain that the dont have enough help..

He made just under $35MM. Even after taxes and agent fees, that's still nearly $20MM. People are acting like he took a vow of poverty, but at a certain point, the figure is an ego thing more than anything else. He's still set for life, and so are his kids.

Great Job Whoopie of shutting that Isaiah Thomas BS question down!!! It’s all about NOW & Jalen Brunson and The New York Knicks 👊🏽

Totally shocked that the Knicks were just stellar. Had no idea until I watched them in the Finals. Total team loyalty, respect and will. Together.

No dog in this fight and congrats to the Knicks but maaaannnn, we're gonna hear about this one until the end of time! 🤣

Because no one will remember how much money he made, nor will they care...but a Chip after 53 years for NYC! Why are we asking dumb questions...LOL.

Isaiah 😂😂😂

He should not have to take a pay cut to win. The owners never take a paycut to win as a matter of fact the owners made more money when the team is winning. PAY THESE MEN WHAT THEY ARE WORTH. THE SALARY CAP IS STUPID.

Winning mentality

Money is not everything. It shows Jalen is humble and not greedy just like LeBron James and other basketball players that are playing for money.

s0mething br0n w0uld never due!!

What a leader!

Fantastic decision. It's not always about the money! Big respect to Jalen 🏆

He did something nobody on this panel would do. 😊

720p? wow...

The millions will come back to him in endorsements

Bet this kid makes more than 113 million in endorsement and shoe deals now

Dallas FO are the most incompetent ever.

I'm a Gemini like President Donald Trump and Alyssa Farah Griffin, ♊️

Alyssa Farah Griffin is a Gemini like me. I'm a May Gemini. My birthday is exactly three weeks after her birthday. ♊️♊️♊️♊️♊️

He knows he is not a max player like Doncic that's why he was fine not getting the max.

Respect for the dude to marry his highschool sweet heart...

but it could've been me...

GO NYKNICKS...
DO IT AGAIN!!!

I read this from a Rachael Reid novel cause I am not a big sports fan until now when Shane Hollander lost his job Illia Rosonov said you have rich husband who can get you job so the nhl also has a salary cap and the way to get around that is for a great guy like Jaylan to ask for less money to get more players?

New York should pay him the 113 million for what he did for New York.

That was fantastic commentary/question by Ana, with Isaiah’s input.

What a dumb question that woman asked. Bro just won us the first title in 53 years and you’re asking for a 2-peat? Gtfoh

Thank you Jalen. I'm a Namibian 🇳🇦 Knickerbockers fan since '96. I never thought I would see the day. Thank you big homie for making our dreams come true. ❤

I tell you what yesterday’s price ain’t today’s price. He should never have to take another pay cut again.

I hate that he went on this show

Knicks fans lucky that this man brought you the title after 53 years. He does everything the right way. Wouldn't be surprised he winning 1-2 more because this team is just getting better

Leaving massive amount of money on the table is a lot easier to say than done. He is incredible!

I applaud Jalen and the Knicks for what they accomplished. I remember when he, Josh, Mikal, and Donte won those chips at Villanova and was surprised that Jalen wasn't a first round pick when he was drafted, but all things work in the lord's plan

Whoopie was real smart to stop that question.👍👍

CONGRATULATIONS !!!JALEN BRUNSON AND YOUR TEAM...THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT 🎉🏀💙🗽🧡💯👑🎊🏆

Yes. Soak in that celebration. An NBA season is at least 82 games from the dead of winter to spring. Everyone works their butts off. Who would ask about a back-to-back championship? My mom made my lunch today and I scored a peanut butter and jelly. Some Doritos; a capri sun. Leave the finals mvp alone for the summer

I do not even understand why I am so happy for NYC. I have never lived there. My son is a huge Knick fan but I am not. It was so great seeing my son so happy and great seeing our greatest city so happy..

He reminds me of old school spurs players, the likes of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, who sacrificed to build a better overall team.

She said don’t ask me how, but I’m friends with Isaiah Thomas…. now I wanna know how 😒

Melo would have taken the money, Champ! Get it 😂

Management should offer him part ownership after retirement. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
