Jaylen Brown and Jalen Brunson appear ready to lean into the rivalry between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.
Brown posted video after he zoomed in on Brunson dancing at Donovan Mitchell’s wedding to Coco Jones on Saturday. Brunson could not help but smirk at the move, and even calls out to teammate Josh Hart just before the video cuts off.

For now, these two are just having some fun with each other, but the Sixers-Knicks matchup will be quite intriguing next year. Brown may need to rewire his brain to get used to being a 76er, but he won’t have as difficult a time adapting to the Knicks as rivals after his time with the Celtics.
Brown and Brunson do have some history. Brown was not happy last season when Brunson beat him out for Player of the Month honors, but his frustrations probably had more to do with his own perceived snub rather than Brunson being the winner.
The Knicks will run it back next season with a very similar group to the one that just won an NBA title. The Sixers, on the other hand, will look wildly different after adding both Brown and LeBron James to their ranks.
