Brunson was the top trending sports-related dog name in 2024 (up 161%), according to a recent report by pet sitting website Rover.
He had a memorable year for the Knicks, averaging a career-high 28.7 points and 6.7 assists as the franchise won 50 games for the first time since the 2013-14 season. Brunson also signed a team-friendly deal in free agency, tabling $113 million in order to give the Knicks roster flexibility.
