Edit: APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON I WAS UNAWARE, WELCOME EMBIID, BRUNSON STILL SNUBBED

Good imho, let him chill during his time off and not get out of rhythm and wear out his body even more.

While I feel for Brunson, I can’t help but think a summer break would do him some good.
cesarjulius
knowing brunson, he’ll wear himself out more training on his own than he would with the olympic team. especially if he feels snubbed.
imthinkingdescartes
olympics are trash anyways
Fvckyourdreams
Holiday I kinda get as he’s done it before and they kept Barnes twice? But he should be backing up Brunson. Hali got guns on high ups or something. He’s just doing a worse last year Harden and he’s a God???
NYdude777
Good. We don’t need him playing another summer and getting hurt. Bro needs to rest up for the real thing.
Icy_Reading2603
Good no off season injuries
KerryKl01
Don’t remotely give a shit. Dude needs to rest his legs for our true title window in the next 2 years.

Get some rest and add some fuel to the fire. Win win
YanksJetsKnicks
On the one hand, it’s disrespectful. On the other hand, they might have done us a favor giving us a pissed off Brunson in the playoffs, and I’d rather him get the extra rest.
knicksdeadman
Uhhh that’s awesome. He wouldn’t get much rest after winning the finals inshallah
fernboyyy
Probably a benefit long term but damn he’s gotta be the most criminally disrespected star in the league outside of the Knicks fan base
Southern_Corner_3584
Leave it to the legacies. We need him 100% here
DomLando11
Happy about this. The break and rest would be good for him.

Literally don’t care. Keep him healthy, rested, and focused on the team that actually matters
gonutsdonuts1
Fine by me. Let that man rest
salesmunn
Good

I want him to rest, but I also really wanted an Olympic Branson jersey

I want him to have this experience. This is how you grow as a player and elevate your game. This is how you establish your presence and legacy. We should absolutely want Brunson in the olympics dominating the rest of the world, and you’re a shit fan if you think otherwise. You know Brunson wants this, and so you should want it.

The NBA is fucked next year man. Holy shit

Needs to rest after the finals anyway.

Brunson has no business playing there. He needs to ask bron what he do to his body to stay dominant. He got nothing to prove.
Urban_Introvert
I read that there’s 1 spot left. Best believe if Brunson takes the team on a deep playoff run, they’ll magically name him as the final member of the Olympic squad.
TheJiggie
Are we sure he was snubbed and chose not to make himself available?
YamahaRN
Clearly Team USA not interested in winning
ShawshankException
That’s fine. A finals run plus olympic run would be rough on him.

Jalen can get a gold medal in 2028 AFTER he wins us a chip.
Mr_Jersey
Go on vacation my king.
ThatWasTheIdea
great news. He needs to rest, we have an NBA Championship to win next year.
kbocker_
Extra rest time.
Extra fuel for the fire.
We adding nails to our metal bats.

Brunson about to average 50 in the first round
beanie_mac
Ever since the debacle in 2004, Team USA is very very particular about the players they select, and very strategic when it comes to roster construction. Obviously they’re gonna have top-end talent, but they prioritize “fit” more than anything.
With that said, I think Brunson’s snub came down to fit rather than skill. So I don’t think we should view it as “they snubbed Brunson for Hali and Jrue”….instead, they probably chose the latter two bc they think they fit the team better.
So I’m not really too upset about this. Would’ve been a great experience and accomplishment for him tho…so that kinda sucks.
Shoddy_Bandicoot_553
Clearly a piece of propaganda used to inspire a legendary run for Jalen Brunson in the post season. This dude is gonna average 38+ppg 6assists 5rebounds, leading the knicks to the finals.
AirAnt43
Good..he needs a break. Tibs is a psycho X )
Fidzyyy
No issues with this, the guy will need some serious R&R after the season

“American” embiid made it though.
