Knicks legend Clyde Frazier’s immediate reaction to handing Jalen Brunson East Final MVP award
Clyde Frazier understood exactly what the moment meant Monday night. After the New York Knicks completed a dominant 130-93 Game 4 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers to reach the 2026 NBA Finals, the franchise legend helped present Jalen Brunson with the Larry Bird Trophy as Eastern Conference Finals MVP alongside Patrick Ewing.
Frazier later stressed that Brunson now carries the responsibility of leading the Knicks into a new championship era following the franchise’s first Finals berth since 1999. SNY Knicks later took to X, formerly Twitter, sharing his emotional postgame message following the trophy presentation in Cleveland.
“It’s been a long time. Carrying on the tradition, passing it down to Jalen. He’s the guy now that has to carry it. You got to capitalize when you get there, so we’re gonna stay on him.”
The following story is in development and will be updated shortly.
