Jalen Brunson spent Tuesday afternoon not at the practice facility or MSG, but in the kitchen at DREAM Charter High School in the Bronx. The Knicks point guard cooked alongside students, shared life lessons, and announced a major donation to support their culinary education.
The visit was part of Brunson’s ongoing work with his nonprofit, the Second Round Foundation. Named in honor of his selection in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft, the organization focuses on empowering youth who may have been overlooked.
“It kind of reflects the notion of being overlooked,” said the Brunson Burner.
