Brunson was eliminated in the first round of the contest, which Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard ended up winning for the second straight year.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, with that bonus, we could have finished my basement,'” Brunson said his father Rick, who is currently a Knicks assistant, shouted from the bench.
The younger Brunson was named to his first All-Star game this season. He is averaging 27.5 points, 6.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds for New York, who are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
