Jalen Brunson isn’t sure yet if his New York Knicks will visit the Trump White House after winning the NBA championship and thought it was “really cool” that Taylor Swift was cheering on the team courtside at Madison Square Garden during Game 4 of the NBA Finals. As for Swift’s star-studded wedding at MSG, and the rumors that the Knicks’ starting five were invited? He found out the same way the rest of the world did (online) but feels his team’s play may have influenced her choice of wedding venue.
The King of New York revealed all this during a conversation last week at Variety’s inaugural Sports & Entertainment Studio in New York, which included talks with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson; NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson; NCAA champion and ESPN analyst Jay Williams; Kristin Lemkau, CEO of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management; Kristyn Cook, EVP at State Farm; and Carolyn Braff, VP of Sports and Entertainment at PepsiCo.
When asked whether, as media reports indicated, him and the Knicks’ starting five got the invite to the TaylorSwift/Travis Kelce wedding at MSG, Brunson offers, “It’s a great question. I found out the same way the rest of the world did. So, I don’t know if it was true or not, but I did not attend.”
