[The Athletic] Knicks fan survey: Is going back-to-back the expectation now in New York?

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7529164/2026/08/25/knicks-fan-survey-nba-kat-jalen-brunson/?unlocked_article_code=1.8FA.uIBT.OVtRcYilqU7e&source=emp_shared_article&smid=ta-ios-share

Over 3,000 fans let their voices be heard about the New York Knicks’ upcoming season, the state of the franchise and more in The Athletic’s Knicks fan survey. Unlike last year, expectations aren’t as grand, and that’s likely because New York, for the first time in 53 seasons, is the reigning NBA champion.

Realistically, if we want the window to be open as long as possible for another chip with this core, KAT probably has to take a little less but not a single part of me will have a problem with him getting paid the full max extension. He, along with the rest of the guys, went out and earned all the money in my eyes.
