If you’re Becky Hammon, you might want to avoid New York for…oh, I don’t know…the next 53 years.

Because apparently Jalen Brunson keeps receipts longer than your grandmother keeps expired coupons.

Remember back in 2023 when Hammon, working as an ESPN analyst, said Brunson was simply “too small” to lead the Knicks to an NBA championship? She even compared him to Hall of Fame point guard John Stockton, basically saying history wasn’t on Brunson’s side.

Well…history just sent her a text message that read:

“LOL.”

Fast forward to today.

Jalen Brunson isn’t just an NBA champion. He’s the NBA Finals MVP. He ended a 53-year championship drought for the Knicks, turned New York into the loudest city on Earth, and has Knicks fans acting like they personally grabbed the final rebound in Game 7.

Then came the funniest moment of all.

During an interview where Brunson was reacting to different photos from his basketball journey, a picture of Becky Hammon popped up.

Most players would’ve smiled politely.

Not Brunson.

He looked at the picture and basically said…

“Yeah…we’re skipping her.”

THAT’S IT!

No yelling.

No rant.

No Twitter fingers.

Just the basketball version of deleting someone from your contacts.

That might be the coldest assist Brunson has thrown all year.

Knicks fans immediately started celebrating like they had just won another championship. Social media turned into a giant “Receipts Department,” and suddenly everyone remembered exactly what Hammon had said three years ago.

The crazy part?

Brunson didn’t just prove people wrong…

He embarrassed every single person who doubted him.

The guy averaged 26 points a game this season, carried the Knicks through the playoffs, won Finals MVP, and authored one of the greatest moments in franchise history when his late shot in Game 4 against the Spurs led to OG Anunoby’s game-winning tip-in after the Knicks erased a ridiculous 29-point deficit.

You can’t script that.

Actually…if Hollywood wrote that script they’d reject it because they’d say it was unrealistic.

Meanwhile Becky Hammon has to be sitting somewhere thinking…

“Maybe I should’ve kept that one to myself.”

Listen, everybody misses on evaluations.

It happens.

I’ve said things before that aged like milk sitting in the middle of Times Square in August.

But Brunson didn’t need to clap back with a long speech.

He let the championship ring, the Finals MVP trophy, and one savage sentence do all the talking.

That’s superstar behavior.

And Knicks fans?

Oh, they’re never letting this go.

These are the same people who still bring up Michael Jordan pushing off, Reggie Miller’s eight points in nine seconds, and every referee since 1973.

You think they’re forgetting Becky Hammon called Brunson “too small?”

Not a chance.

Some Knicks fan is probably making a T-shirt as we speak.

The moral of the story?

Never tell a guy from New York he’s too small.

Especially when he’s got the heart of Patrick Ewing, the swagger of Walt Frazier, the clutch gene of Willis Reed, and apparently the memory of an elephant.

Congratulations, Becky.

You just earned yourself a lifetime membership on Jalen Brunson’s “Nah…we’re good” list.

And judging by his reaction…

That membership isn’t getting revoked anytime soon.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.

What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.

Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.

My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
