Will Ewing finally make an appearance to support Jalen and the Knicks or is it all unrepairable history. Ewing talking about how Jalen used to hang around his locker when he was a little kid in a Newsday article. Ewing might be feeling a little nostalgic, but nostalgic enough to put hard feeling aside?
Ewing loves that the team is being led by Jalen Brunson, the son of his former teammate Rick Brunson. Jalen was just a toddler back then, running around the Knicks locker room and hanging out with Ewing at his locker. “It’s funny. I told Jalen when I first started coaching at Georgetown that if I knew he was going to be a basketball player like this, I would have started recruiting him back then,” Ewing said. “He wouldn’t leave my locker. He was always at my locker. And then that kid kicked my butt when I was at Georgetown and he has done a good job of improving his game every day. I love the type of player he is and his mom and dad did an outstanding job of raising him.” – via Barbara Barker @ Newsday
