'Damn my bad yall, I was talking about love island,' the two-time All-Star wrote in a follow-up post.
Brunson, widely known for his Mariska Hargitay and 'Law & Order' fandom, was referencing the global phenomenon and reality TV dating franchise 'Love Island.'
The seventh season of the U.S. installment premiered on Peacock earlier this month and is hosted by 'Vanderpump Rules' alum Ariana Madix.

Brunson's tweets follow what's been a wild start to the offseason for the Knicks, who were defeated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals in six.
Days later, the Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau after five seasons.

The team, stonewalled by other organizations to speak with their head coaches — including the Mavericks' Jason Kidd— are slated to meet with Taylor Jenkins and Mike Brown about the coaching vacancy this week.
Though unclear whether the candidates' TV preferences will be addressed in the interview process, Brunson isn't the only New York sports star captivated by 'Love Island.'
When speaking to the media Wednesday, Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito quipped that he and rookie teammate Jaxson Dart 'might go on 'Love Island,'' The Post's Paul Schwartz reported.
'We've talked about it,' the New Jersey native added.
Surely there's room for more at Casa Amor.

NBC could resurrect a sports cable channel in sports media twist
Executives at NBCUniversal are eying a new sports cable network, roughly four years after they shuttered the previous one the company operated. The unnamed cable channel would carry sports that will also stream on the company's service, Peacock, with the network potentially going live as early as the fall, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. No decision has been made, and talks are in the early stage, according to the report, but the network would be available on cable and satellite services as part of specialty packages. NBC could bring back a sports cable network. Getty Images The channel would complement the Peacock streaming platform and would give the company a safety net of sorts if its subscriber base doesn't grow as quickly as the network anticipates. The news comes months before NBC officially joins as a broadcast partner for the NBA, which cost NBCU roughly $2.5 billion annually for the rights to carry the league package. NBA games this season will air on both linear NBC and on Peacock. The Wall Street Journal report also indicated that the potential sports network would be made available through specific cable packages, rather than the broader plan that includes other sports networks such as ESPN and Fox Sports 1. Previously, NBC operated NBC Sports Network — also known as NBCSN — before it shut down in 2021 due to low ratings and its inability to compete with ESPN. NBCSN used to cover the NHL before the channel was shuttered in 2021. NHLI via Getty Images NBCU has aired 'Sunday Night Football' simulcasts on Peacock, along with an exclusive NFL game that is carried only on the streaming service. Other sports offerings on the streamer include golf, college football, the Olympics and Premier League soccer before the NBA enters the fray in the fall. Peacock's subscription cost went up by $3 to $10.99 a month for its ad-supported tier and to $16.99 for its tier with no commercials.

JoJo Siwa Nicknamed Boyfriend Chris Hughes' Private Parts: ‘She Must Love the Rhyming Lingo'
Chris Hughes has revealed that his girlfriend, JoJo Siwa, gave his genitals pet names. In an interview with E! published on Monday, July 21, the Love Island alum, 32, shared that the former Dance Moms star, 22, 'calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy.' 'She must love the rhyming lingo within her life,' he laughed, referring to how the 'Karma' singer previously shared that she wanted to have triplets and name them Freddy, Eddy, and Teddy. 'I don't know about those names,' Hughes admitted. 'I have names that I like. I'm still kind of undecided on them.' However, Siwa told Capital Buzz in June that she no longer wants to call her future children Freddy, Eddy, and Teddy. 'Absolutely not. I was a bad girl, did some bad things, and that was naming children,' Siwa joked. 'Got a new name for children. And I think it's Silver. Silver Siwa.' Hughes did not mention his thoughts on the name Silver in his interview with E!, but made it clear the pair would get on the same page when they need to. 'We'll work it out for sure,' he told the outlet. 'It might end up being something we have to pick names out of a hat for.' The reality stars met while filming Celebrity Big Brother UK in April and quickly formed a strong bond. At the time of filming, Siwa was dating Kath Ebbs. Siwa — who came out as queer while on the show — and Ebbs, 27, called it quits at the show's wrap party. In June, Siwa confirmed that she and Hughes were in a relationship, telling The Guardian, 'It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' Hughes told E! that the pair developed a strong friendship before their relationship progressed romantically. 'But even when I was on the show, she was my friend,' he explained. 'We had such an amazing friendship, and we were so close, and it was such a unique, special bond and one which I will forever be grateful for.' 'She's literally like the love of my life, but she's also my best friend,' the English television personality added. 'We sit and do nothing together.' As for how the couple manages doing a long distance romance, Hughes told the outlet, 'it just works.' 'I think when things are meant to happen, I think everything becomes effortless,' he shared. 'I don't think we've spent more than two weeks apart since we came out the Big Brother house.' Hughes also explained that the pair is living in the present when it comes to their relationship. 'We haven't even had those conversations about what do we do going forward, because the life that we're living right now, there's so much peace,' he added. Solve the daily Crossword
