Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson brought his family to the Knicks’ championship parade Thursday.
Brunson, the MVP of the 2026 NBA Finals, and his wife, Ali, were atop the Knicks’ bus with their daughter, Jordyn James, who turns 2 in July.
The youngster sported a tank top that said, “New York my dad’s the MVP Hallelujah.”
Ali wore a matching white tank with Brunson’s No. 11 and an orange apple on the front.
At one point, Brunson hopped down from the team’s bus and walked with the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy along the parade route.

Woods brought her “lucky bag” that she wore to throughout the 2026 NBA Playoffs — and Towns and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani were posing with it.
