Summary
Josh Hart used Friday’s Roommates Show to call for an apology over Becky Hammon’s past doubts about Jalen Brunson, saying he is “still waiting” after New York’s championship run.
Hammon said on ESPN in December 2023 that Brunson’s 6-foot-2 size would likely keep him from leading the Knicks to a title, then reiterated in May that “I said what I said” after New York swept the East finals.
Brunson answered on the court, leading the Knicks to the 2026 NBA title and earning Finals MVP, while saying after the win he had no interest in responding to doubters.
The exchange could resurface at Hammon’s next media availability as her Las Vegas Aces, 11-4 and second in the WNBA West, prepare to host Golden State on Sunday.
