  "account": "NBA star Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks is set to make an appearance at the Emmys alongside actress Mariska Hargitay from the popular TV show \"Law and Order: SVU.\" Brunson, who helped the Knicks secure their first championship in over 53 years, has recently become a close friend of Hargitay, a die-hard Knicks fan who supported the team throughout their championship run. The duo has been spotted together at several events, including the NBA championship parade. For the Emmys, the stars are seen preparing for the show by ironing their outfits, with Hargitay jokingly asking Brunson about the pressure of being in the spotlight. Brunson responded with a simple \"Seriously?\" underscoring his natural humor and lightness of heart. This marks yet another noteworthy achievement for Brunson, who is now adding another accolade to his growing list of accomplishments. Knicks season is set to resume on October 5th with preseason games, and the team will kick off their regular season against LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers on October 20th.",
