On Wednesday, in the same hallway that a high school Jalen Brunson wandered in awe, meeting Kobe and looking up to Derrick Rose, it was Rose who pulled out his phone and asked for a photo. On Jalen Brunson, a return to normalcy and full-circle moments: nytimes.com/athletic/7734615…

“Inside the NBA” changed what a sports studio show could be. And Ernie Johnson was the conductor of the train. Johnson said Wednesday that this will be his last year hosting the show, after 37 years. He’s the best to ever do it. Free, in @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/7732953…

The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources. Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.

I owe a huge thanks to @laurengustus and my @sltrib family. I learned so much from them over the last 5 years. The Tribune is leading the way in nonprofit news, and I'm a supporter for life.
