Summary

  • Jalen Brunson said on "The Tonight Show" he was initially skeptical of WWE star Danhausen's "uncursing" but now believes after New York won its first NBA championship in 53 years.
  • Brunson's comment followed a Finals run in which he was named MVP, averaging 32.6 points and scoring 45 in the title-clinching Game 5 comeback.
  • Danhausen, who had drawn fan attention throughout the playoffs and also "cursed" the Cavaliers before New York reached the Finals, celebrated Brunson's remarks on X as proof of his gimmick's powers.
  • The exchange extends a growing Knicks-WWE crossover: Brunson had already referenced pregame nods to Roman Reigns, and he has previously appeared on WWE programming.
