Jalen Brunson's wife Ali Brunson takes pride in Knicks star earning spot on Forbes' latest honor

Jalen Brunson's wife, Ali Brunson, was beaming with pride after finding her husband on the annual sports edition of the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. The wife of the New York Knicks star hyped up the All-Star on social media.

Ali posted the screenshot of Brunson's profile on Forbes on her Instagram story on Tuesday, reacting with a "salute" emoji and a series of exclamation mark emojis.

Since arriving in New York, Brunson's fame has skyrocketed. With him leading the way, the Knicks have had some of the best seasons in recent years.

Apart from his on-court performances, Forbes also lauded the Knicks' star for taking a big cut in his paycheck. Jalen Brunson was not alone on the list from the basketball world. He was joined by LSU star Flau'jae Johnson, Indiana Fever WNBA player Caitlin Clark and Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum.

The increasing love for the Knicks star guard should not come as a surprise. In July, Brunson signed a four-year, $156.5 million extension with the Knicks, which was $113 million less than what he was eligible for.
