Jalen Brunson, the first-year New York Knicks player, recently hosted a charity golf tournament in his hometown of Illinois. The event was in support of his own organization, Second Round Foundation, which helps young people reach their dreams through academics, sports, and outreach.
In a recent interview, Brunson discussed the meaning behind the foundation's name - "being drafted in the second round and always kind of being overlooked." He wants to demonstrate to the younger generation that no matter what people think of them, it's all about having the right mindset and approaching any situation with 110%.
Brunson is aware that many of the younger people look up to him as he has achieved their dream of playing in the NBA. He wants to show them that they can get to the same level with the right mindset.
Relationships are also very important to Brunson, and he wants to show others how important it is. He believes that helping people you don't know is great, but it's a totally different story when you actually get to know them.
Brunson is currently getting ready for the upcoming FIBA World Cup, which will take place in Asia and begin on Aug. 25, 2023. The tournament is set to conclude on Sept. 10, 2023.
