One uncomfortable moment involving Rick and Jalen Brunson and a Texas deputy sheriff after Game 5 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio has begun making the rounds on social media as the Knicks celebrate their historic championship.<\/p>\n

In the video, Jalen greets and poses for a photo with a man as a Bexar County deputy sheriff approaches the scene behind them.<\/p>\n

The deputy sheriff then appears to push Jalen, seemingly indicating to him that he must get out of the way.<\/p>\n

Jalen turned to the deputy sheriff, appearing annoyed and responding before his father Rick \u2014\u00a0an assistant coach with the Knicks \u2014 came in and said, \u201cDon\u2019t push him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the background of the video, viewers can see a woman respond to the deputy sheriff, seemingly saying \u201cHe\u2019s the Finals MVP.\u201d<\/p>\n

The moment came amidst in-arena celebrations of the Knicks\u2019 first championship in 53 years. <\/p>\n

They clinched their third title in franchise history \u2014 and first in 53 years \u2014 on Saturday with a 94-90 win over the Spurs at Frost Bank Center.<\/p>\n

Brunson received the Bill Russell Trophy for Finals MVP shortly after putting up 45 points in a heroic closeout game performance.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The win sent New York into a celebratory frenzy as the city watched the Knicks celebrate over a thousand miles away in Texas before flying back home late that night.<\/p>\n

Rick Brunson, now an assistant coach with the Knicks, is a former player himself, having spent parts of three seasons in New York from 1999-2001.<\/p>\n

The elder Brunson was a part of the last Knicks team to make the Finals in 1999. That year, coincidentally, the Spurs defeated the Knicks in five games for their first title in franchise history.<\/p>\n
