Even though it feels like the season began yesterday, we've made it to the All-Star break. Two New York Knicks players will represent the organization in San Francisco — Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Both were named starters, marking the first time in 50 years that the Knicks have had two All-Star starters.
Brunson will also be in action at All-Star Saturday Night, participating in the All-Star Three-Point Contest for the second consecutive year. He hasn't forgotten about finishing sixth in the event last year.
Jalen Brunson talks about why he decided to participate in the three-point contest:

Brunson will have tough competition at Chase Center, including the player who could three-peat with another win.

Has a Knicks player ever won the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest?
No, so Brunson can make history by being the first New York player to win the event that began in 1986. Karl-Anthony Towns won in 2022, so the Knicks have someone on their roster who has won the event, but of course, he played for the Timberwolves at the time.
