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.
