Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 03:20 · Archive

Jalen Brunson has not opened the bag containing his New York Knicks NBA championship hat since winning the title four months ago.

Jalen Brunson disclosed on an episode of his podcast 'Roommates Show' with teammate Josh Hart that his championship hat from the Knicks' NBA title victory remains sealed in a bag, four months after the win. Brunson said he has not opened it because he is afraid of what awaits inside.

'Mine is still not washed, it's in the bag and I'm afraid to open it,' Brunson said on the podcast. He described the odour emanating from within: champagne, sweat, cigars, food, beer and tequila. The hat has absorbed the various scents from the celebrations following the Knicks' championship victory.

The Knicks won their first NBA championship since 1973 by defeating the Spurs. Brunson scored 45 points in the clinching Game 5, which New York won 94-90. Following the victory, the team held a championship parade in Manhattan and made numerous public appearances.
