For much of the 2010s, the New York Knicks were the face of failure and ineptitude and that often meant players rarely got awards. But as the team’s fortunes have changed recently, so have the accolades that the players have received.
Julius Randle has made three of the last four All-Star games while also winning the Most Improved Player award in 2021 also making two All-NBA teams during that span.
The new face of the franchise, Jalen Brunson, made his first All-Star game appearance last season and capped off his impeccable campaign with an All-NBA second-team selection of his own.
