NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson, fresh off signing his nine-figure contract, can’t avoid the chatter of being overpaid.

“I’m definitely not ignorant to it. It’s impossible not to see,” Brunson said on a podcast, the Old Man and the Three, with his former teammate JJ Redick. “So that’s the first thing. I’m honored that I got this opportunity to be in this club to make whatever the number is. But no matter what the number is, nothing changes. Nothing changes for me. I think the day of me agreeing to terms, before I did any of that, I got my work in. Weightlifting, shooting.
