Brunson stated he intends to remain focused on the upcoming season rather than dwell on the title. "I think I've done a decent job of being able to not look ahead, not look past anything, staying in the moment," he said.
The Knicks ended a 53-year championship drought with the victory.
Wright, Brunson's former coach, praised the guard's leadership and ability to handle pressure. "I always thought he'd be an NBA champion because he has the leadership of a winner," Wright said. Shaquille O'Neal also commented on Brunson's performance. The Knicks are scheduled to hold a championship parade.
