KAT is probably the one who sacrificed the most that made us play like an absolute buzz saw. It was an easy 20-10 for KAT before but now, we barely see him score 20 or more but the team’s offense has just been more potent as a tradeoff. Love my Big Bodega, Big Purr Center

I’m so fucking happy for KAT. Just a good human who deserves this.

cleveland’s entire gameplan is preventing the point guard KAT strat and it’s doing them no favors lol

“the big bodega” and “big purr” are both incredible nicknames for a man who just went 13/8/7/3/1 with zero turnovers

evan mobley attacked him on closeouts and got nothing. KAT said this is my bodega and you are not getting anything off the shelf tonight

+23 in 36 minutes and the knicks lost the 12 minutes without him by 10. he is genuinely holding this team together with his bare hands and nobody is talking about it because brunson exists

kat sacrificed his ppg in favor of everything else, big ups

KAT becoming a playmaker absolutely changed this playoffs for us. He could easily score more but is sacrificing it for the team. I love this man.

Dominacing

His defense has been fucking outstanding. And not just by KAT standards.. like legitimately he’s making great stops.

KAT deserves so much love and credit for what he’s done. Most All-NBA multi-time All-Stars would be upset with not getting their numbers but KAT has sacrificed them. I remember Shaq telling him to get those numbers but he said all that matters is the W. When he said it uou absolutely believe it.

KAT no longer has that reputation as liability in playoffs. Point KAT is a pure winner

Lets fucking go KAT!!!!!

His defense was really good

He’s become more efficient on offense while saving so much energy that he uses on defense. His defense has become legitimately elite.

playing great.

Cavs bigs again were not a factor.

Sir Purr ain’t got nothing on his man

Best player on the Knicks TBH

Big purrr

Mike Brown made him Jokic-lite, I like it. Opens up the floor for everyone since the Knicks have a lot of good shooters

After the Hawks went up 2-1, Mike Brown shifted KAT’s role and the team shot up like a rocket. KAT has flourished ever since. He’s a big reasons for their playoff run.

Nothing but love for KAT. love to see him perform on the big stage

KAT went from ²⁵⁄₁₅ last year and a turnstile in defense to playing within what the game needs from him and excellent defense. Credit to the coaching staff but credit to KAT for realizing we don’t need him to be a star we just need consistency.

KAT’s willingness to be this guy for the team has been their biggest change, not pouting about shots, not crying to the refs after every play (ok he still does that), and focusing on helping in areas other than getting his shots.

The Big Purr! Yessir.

Justice Smith looking motherfucker I see you.

Big purrrrr

All because Michael Jordan gave him the cold shoulder. Ever since then he’s been a dawg.

This what happens when your close to the top of the totem pole

Ant needs to get out of Minnesota

the +23 while the team got outscored by 10 in his off minutes is the real story. mitch can’t switch the way kat does and cle’s gonna start hunting that gap in game 4 once they adjust. think tibs has to stagger different or just eat the matchup?

I credit Rick Adelman. I remember him forcing KAT to unlock this part of his game while he was here.
