So much so, that he even earned some votes to be the mayor of New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In the heavily publicized New York City mayor race, Brunson received 27 write-in votes from New Yorkers to run the city, per <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/garyhphillips\/status\/1996288157005046009?s=46&amp;t=SF-knYTy_vdKy3mmfTQuvQ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Gary Phillips;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Gary Phillips<\/a> of the New York Daily News. Brunson led the way amongst New York sports figures, with New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge\u2019s 11 votes coming in second.<\/p>\n<p>Among other athletes to receive votes include New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo, Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler, former Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau, Knicks legend Walt Frazier, former Knick Carmelo Anthony, and Brunson\u2019s current teammate Josh Hart.<\/p>\n<p>Brunson has become one of the league\u2019s top talents since arriving in New York. His rise from a decent backup guard to the best player on a contending team make him one of New York\u2019s best success stories.<\/p>\n<p>Since Brunson\u2019s arrival to the Knicks in 2022, he has helped take the Knicks from a playoff team, to one that can truly contend for the NBA championship. Brunson has been named an All-Star and All-NBA in each of the last two seasons, and was key to the Knicks\u2019 run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>More Knicks news:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Knicks\u2019 Jalen Brunson hilariously earns votes in New York City mayor race originally appeared on The Sporting News.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[10094,32358,14230,4777,4778,3650,9,24,55,54,14051,2683,1104,321,56],"class_list":["post-60511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-aaron-judge","tag-cam-schlittler","tag-carmelo-anthony","tag-jalen-brunson","tag-josh-hart","tag-mayor-of-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-new-york-daily-news","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
