“Interactions were happy, they seemed proud, and full of love and support to one another,” Rodolitz added of the victorious players.
He says the team dined on “Flyfish staples,” which included a raw bar, a “gorgeous market table of prime meats,” seafood, sushi and homemade pastas. There was also a private caviar and Ace of Spades [Armand de Brignac] station in the establishment's omakase room.
“There was just so much love,” Rodolitz continues. “They were in tremendous spirits. Dancing. Singing. Laughing. Hugging. Enjoying life.”

Jalen, 29, shared an emotional moment with his dad, Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson, after leading the team to its first NBA title in more than 50 years.
“I was good. [After] the final buzzer, I walked right to half court, shook Mitch Johnson's hand and then turned around. My dad was there,” Jalen said during a post-game press conference after the Knicks' 94-90 victory at Texas' Frost Bank Center. “And then felt emotional from that point on.”

“I just remember Josh [Hart] talking into my ear and him just saying, like, ‘We did it. We did it,' and then I was emotional for a good like 5, 10 minutes,” Jalen continued. “And then the excitement started to kick in.”
“It was definitely more emotional than I thought it was going to be right away,” he added while speaking alongside his father on ESPN's Inside The NBA. “Once I got on stage and everything, it kind of started to settle. But man, it is everything I dreamed of. Seriously.”
