RT @MLB: Jalen Brunson is in the house for Dodgers vs. Yankees And his hat includes a subtle reminder of "Knicks in 5" Via @Feinsand on X

What happened: Jalen Brunson was seen at the Dodgers-Yankees game wearing a hat with a subtle "Knicks in 5" message. The nod references the same postseason run that ended the Knicks' 27-year title drought. The Dodgers and Yankees had not yet started their game at the time.

Why it matters: Brunson has stayed in the spotlight since that run, adding an ESPY for Best Athlete, Men's Sports earlier this month. The hat keeps the championship reference visible even at an unrelated baseball game.

What to watch: The Dodgers and Yankees had not yet started play, with the scoreboard still 0-0.
