Mark Cuban, former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, acknowledged the team’s misjudgment in letting Jalen Brunson leave for the New York Knicks. Cuban admitted they didn’t foresee Brunson’s star potential, particularly after his breakout season, and opted not to extend his contract before it began. Brunson went on to win the NBA Finals MVP after leading the Knicks to their first championship in 53 years, averaging 32.6 points per game in the Finals. Additionally, he signed a lucrative contract extension in 2024, allowing the Knicks to acquire more talent.
