‘The actual winner’: Jalen Brunson makes major move for Harry Styles

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson surprised Harry Styles at the final night of the singer's 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden by presenting him with a banner to commemorate the record-breaking run. Styles had previously made a point of acknowledging Brunson during one of his earlier shows in September, joking that the Knicks player might be present at his concerts.

On Saturday, Brunson came dressed in a "TECHNO IS MY BOYFRIEND" hat and was met with boisterous "MVP" chants. He expressed his appreciation for Styles' support, noting that Styles joined the Knicks during their recent banner night. The crowd cheered for Brunson, who playfully pointed out that he was Styles' third show, while Styles was only at one game.

Styles, a New York native, reflected on the significance of the Garden to him, recalling his first time playing there at age 18. He expressed gratitude to the fans who supported him throughout his residency and thanked them for the special moments they've shared. Styles' banner will now hang in the Garden rafters, symbolizing the culmination of a remarkable year for the venue.
