Jose Alvarado calls Knicks’ MSG debut and NY homecoming: ‘one for the books’
Jose Alvarado grew up playing the game in Brooklyn and starred at Christ the King HS in Queens.
So when he heard the ovation from the Madison Square Garden crowd when he checked in late in the first quarter in his home debut as a Knick, it hit him.
“It’s different,’’ Alvarado said. “Playing for the Knicks is a huge thing, but I’m literally a kid from the same streets the fans are, and to be part of everything here, it’s a blessing. It’s something I had to get used to and to get it out of the way, let’s get the ball rolling.”
Mike Brown has made Jordan Clarkson thoughts clear after Jose Alvarado trade
Following the team’s trade for Jose Alvarado, New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown has played Jordan Clarkson significantly less. It seems as though Brown clearly sees Alvarado as a better option than Clarkson, at least, as a whole. Clarkson will inevitably get his chances, but right now, Alvarado seems like the lead guard off the pine.
Brown has dug into his bench much more than Tom Thibodeau did in recent years (which everyone expected heading into the season). That means more guys have been able to earn their chance to play. But with the Alvarado trade, it’s clear that Brown prefers his defense over Clarkson’s scoring.

The New York Knicks are acquiring point guard Jose Alvarado from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Dalen Terry, two second-round picks and cash, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
The news comes in the wake of Knicks guard Miles McBride undergoing core muscle surgery, sources confirmed to ESPN's Vince Goodwill. McBride, who has been a key member of New York's rotation this season, is expected to miss significant time and it's unknown whether he will be back in time for the playoffs.
The Knicks have been after Alvarado for months now, wanting a capable backup behind star point guard Jalen Brunson. Tyler Kolek had been manning the position but the Knicks were still searching for an upgrade to their bench unit, especially now with McBride sidelined.
