In this Breitbart article, staff writers report that Knicks star Jalen Brunson highlighted the pain of New York’s sky-high taxes after leading his team to an NBA championship, expressing nostalgia for the low-tax environment he enjoyed in Texas.
- Brunson, who played for the Dallas Mavericks before joining the Knicks, made the comment when asked about winning another title in Texas: “I have nothing against Texas. I love Texas. I miss the Texas taxes.”
- New York imposes a state income tax of around 10.3 percent plus a New York City tax of about 3.8 percent on top of the jock tax for visiting athletes, while Texas has no state income tax.
- The remark came after Brunson’s stellar performance in the NBA Finals, where he earned Finals MVP honors and helped deliver New York its first championship since 1973.
- Alex Marlow discussed the story on “The Alex Marlow Show,” praising Brunson’s vibe and hoping he doesn’t “blow it” amid the spotlight.
- Brunson lives in Westchester, New York, but the comment underscores the financial contrast between playing in a high-tax state versus a no-income-tax state like Texas.
- The quip quickly went viral, resonating with fans and highlighting ongoing debates over tax burdens on high earners and professional athletes.
- Despite the tax complaint, Brunson signed a contract extension with the Knicks, forgoing a larger deal to help build a championship roster.
- The story serves as a lighthearted reminder of how state tax policies influence player decisions and public sentiment in major sports markets.
