Jack's Birthday Knicks Dream With Ryan
Jack and Ryan live basketball: park passes, kind pointers, and highlight-reel dreams. One afternoon, Jalen Brunson spots their hustle, shares stories about friendship and work, and nudges them to try out for the Knicks Juniors. They grind: layups, free throws, defense—together. They make the team, learn plays, and become the duo that always finds each other. On Jack’s birthday, Game 7 comes down to one possession. Ryan drives, trusts, and threads the pass; Jack cuts, rises, and beats the buzzer—swish. The Garden erupts, Jalen wraps them in a hug, and New York celebrates—but the book’s heartbeat stays simple: tomorrow they’ll practice, cheer, and believe again, because the biggest win is their friendship.
