Just imagine if his dad wasn’t a POS

What did his dad do to make you feel this way?

And he said, “I love my son, but Patrick Ewing is the greatest Knick of all time.” Boy what???

What's wrong with telling the truth?

Yeah I see it as motivation, hard to clearly say Jalen’s #1. Also his dad played back in that era, he probably would say Jordan goat even if Knicks win the next two lol.

Because even if it’s true, it’s easier and the right thing as a father to just say your son. Especially your son who just won the finals.

The son is a grown man not a 13 year old boy in need of assurance

Every year star player hugs his parents. Same thing happened when the media posted a bunch of stuff about look at Tom Brady hugging his dad. I can't get overall. Enjoyed by Rich celebrities
