Kinda shocked me reading it, and with the Knicks no real news interviews policy it kinda makes it suspicious, as no one can really ask about it.
how do u guys feel about it?
his hiring obviously to get his son here, remembering the old Isiah ' I cant get no love" 11 million dollar debacle.
any thoughts?

I think majority of the people we see on a day to day basis, has a past that most of us would not approve. But then you have guys like Brunson Sr and others who continue to have jobs and operate like everything is normal. I understand that can be frustrating for most, especially the middle class or lower who do not get this same treatment. But thats the system we live in.

It all depends on which battle you want to fight. This judicial system we live in, is structured for the middle to lower class. The religion most people follow (just my guess), you repent your sins ask for Gods forgiveness and move forward with your life, with a renewed heart while supporting or giving back to your community and improving lives. Brunson to me is not part of the middle class, his situation will be handled differently (good or bad) than most people.

Me personally, I don't have a problem with it. But my personal pain from historical events in my pass, doesn't include sexual misconduct. If it did, I'm sure I would have an issue with it, but still not sure what I would, should or could do about it.

But first, let me be a little sensitive to those that may have been traumatized by similar sexual misconduct events. But my question remains the same, whats the outcome? Whats the goal? What are you fighting for? We have seen by now, every person from the elite class to the lower class, has some form of sexual misconduct on their record (and to be honest, thats really a very general label). Some that I know personally are struggling to have those labels removed, because they were falsely accused. I don't know enough about Brunsons case.

So I'm not the best to respond to this topic, just giving my 2 cents. But it's a great discussion topic.

Careful about misinformation....where did you get information that he was fired from Chicago or Timberwolves for Sexual Misconduct? Brunson was charged and later acquitted of sexual misconduct in 2014 (he was an assistant in Chicago in 2012) based on a supposed relationship he had with an employee of Lifetime Fitness. He was resigned from his job with the Timberwolves amid allegations of Harrassment....supposedly towards a member of the media.

This does not make his actions appropriate....but looseness with factual details often leads to inappropriate rumors.

So as long as his son plays and plays well do we ignore it?
one time in Chicago , he was acquitted
then the next time in Minnesota resigned, both times for the exact same thing. Are we saying there ids no fire with all this smoke, or are we as fans happy that his son is here and showing signs of a very good pickup?

I don’t get this. You are interested in this topic and yet really don’t bring much to discuss on this. Use Google and get back to us.
