Jalen Brunson Shares Heartfelt Thank You Message To The Dallas Mavericks
At the beginning of this year’s free agency, Jalen Brunson signed a four-year, $104 million deal with the New York Knicks. The contract includes a player option in the final year.
Brunson, who had a breakout season with the Dallas Mavericks, helped the team to reach the Western Conference Finals, where they fell short to the eventual Champions, Golden State Warriors.
Brunson averaged a career-high 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in the regular season, and an impressive 21.6 points per game in the playoffs.
The point guard bet on himself declined the Mavericks’ four-year, $55.5 million contract extension offer after the trade deadline in February, and has now been rewarded with almost $50 million more in total salary.
Still, after four years in Dallas it was a tough goodbye for Brunson, who now thanked the Mavericks with a heartfelt message on Instagram:
“Dallas, thank you for everything! You have embraced me from the moment you drafted me. You believed in me and were able to watch me grow as a person and a player. This city will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you Mark, Nico, JKidd, and the rest of the coaching staff for putting me in a position to succeed. My teammates, without you, none of this would’ve been possible. You guys made my life easier on the court but you were all better people off it. I couldn’t be more thankful for the training staff, strength and conditioning staff, and the rest of the organisation with their unconditional love and support. Lastly, the fans. You guys have been there every step of the way with me. Thank you for making my experience in Dallas incredible. Even if most of you are Cowboys fans, you guys accepted an Eagles fan without hesitation (I hope ) Thank you for everything. Always Love “
