Jalen Brunson Believes in Danhausen ‘Uncursing’ the New York Knicks, Danhausen Responds

The New York Knicks just won the team’s first NBA Championship in 53 years, and many are crediting WWE Superstar Danhausen for “uncursing” the team. Jimmy Fallon asked Knicks player and wrestling fan, Jalen Brunson, about Danhausen’s uncursing, and he says, while he was skeptical at first, you’ve got to believe it now.

Danhausen shared a clip of Brunson’s comments about Danhausen and the Knicks on social media (see below). When asked about Danhausen by Jimmy Fallon, Brunson commented, “At first, I was a little skeptical, but I mean, you have to believe it now.”

Danhausen wrote on Jalen Brunson’s comments, “DANHAUSEN KNEW THEY BELIEVED. Thank you @jalenbrunson1 @KarlTowns and @FallonTonight for confirming Danhausen’s cursing and uncursing powers to the world. @WWE @espn”

Along with being a big wrestling fan, Brunson has appeared on WWE programming in the past. As previously reported, Danhausen was invited to the team’s NBA championship victory parade. You can also check out an extended video of Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mike Brown on The Tonight Show below.
