It didn’t seem to make much sense for Brandon Jennings when he signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the New York Knicks. Even weirder he requested the short-term deal. Other point guards were cashing in during that crazy summer, so why not Jennings?
Well unlike most NBA players the team mattered to him more than the money. Jennings wanted to be in New York.
Brandon Jennings wanted to be a Knick in 2009 when the franchise drafted Jordan Hill two spots ahead of him. Ouch. He’s already comparing himself and Joakim Noah to Anthony Mason and John Starks.
