When New York Knicks<\/a> superstar guard Jalen Brunson took the Intuit Dome court as an All-Star earlier this month, he did so wearing the jersey of Team Stripes \u2013 one of two squads representing those from the United States (the other being Team Stars), while the third All-Star team was dubbed Team World.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But while Brunson certainly enjoys being an All-Star while simultaneously representing his country of sorts, he still has eyes for the real thing \u2013 Team USA basketball at the Olympics<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are other boxes to check on Brunson\u2019s career goals board \u2013 winning an NBA title with the Knicks is the top priority in the coming months. But one goal that hasn\u2019t been erased, and never will, is representing the U.S. on the Olympic stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the Summer Games returning to Los Angeles in 2028, Fox News Digital asked Brunson if playing in the Olympics remains atop his goals list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Absolutely,” Brunson said, while also discussing his partnership with BODYARMOR and its “Choose Better” campaign before March Madness next month. “I think there\u2019s nothing else to say. It\u2019s one of my goals for sure.”<\/p>\n

MAMDANI GETS MIXED REACTIONS OF USING KNICKS STAR JALEN BRUNSON’S SIGNATURE CELEBRATION AT INAUGURAL SPEECH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Brunson was considered a main snub in 2024 when he was left off Team USA\u2019s roster for the Paris Olympics, where they won gold. One of the main debates regarding the roster was whether other guards, including Indiana Pacers<\/a>\u2019 Tyrese Haliburton, should\u2019ve made the team over Brunson.<\/p>\n

In the end, Brunson said then he thought he did enough to deserve the spot after how well he played that season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I thought I could have fit in,” he told GQ Sports<\/a> in 2024. “I\u2019ve played many roles throughout my career; I could play another. But obviously, it just wasn\u2019t in the cards at that time. And so, you move on, and you find ways to get better.”<\/p>\n

Brunson continues to be one of the best point guards in the league, especially in crunch time when a basket is needed for his Knicks. If Brunson continues being the leader in “The Mecca,” there\u2019s no doubt he\u2019ll be invited out west to Las Vegas to try out for Team USA among the country\u2019s best yet again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brunson\u2019s drive to make the team isn\u2019t just for his own individual career accomplishments, but rather something more. It\u2019s a love for country and wearing the Stars and Stripes for real alongside his fellow compatriots. He\u2019s done so in other tournaments, including the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but never on the Olympic stage.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s going to be a great opportunity if presented,” he continued. “It would be an honor to represent the country. Very few people have the ability to do so. Obviously, whether it\u2019s playing a sport for your country, or representing your country through the military, not a lot of people get to do that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I would be honored and thankful.”<\/p>\n

Brunson was named to his third straight All-Star team this year, as the two-time All-NBA guard averages 27.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game for the Knicks this season. He is hoping to lead the Knicks to the playoffs with the goal of getting past the Eastern Conference Finals this time after losing to the Pacers in six games at that stage last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CHOOSING BETTER WITH BODYARMOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Brunson eyes the NBA Playoffs, he\u2019s also excited for another intense stage in basketball: NCAA March Madness.<\/p>\n

BODYARMOR announced its return to collegiate sports on Tuesday after seven years through a new multi-year partnership as the official sports drink of the NCAA. As such, the announcement ahead of March Madness has the “Choose Better” slogan, something Brunson, a two-time NCAA champion with Villanova, knows goes a long way this time of year \u2014 whether pro or college.<\/p>\n

“Most importantly, it starts with hydration,” he said when asked how he chooses better on a daily basis. “I think no matter what, when you\u2019re hydrated, your muscles [and] your body feels good. Obviously, you need nutrition as well. That\u2019s how you replenish throughout the game, through hydration. So, that\u2019s how I choose better.”<\/p>\n

BODYARMOR will hold the exclusive sports drink rights for NCAA March Madness, making it the only hydration beverage featured on the tournament sidelines, which will include towels, sports bottles and coolers.<\/p>\n

The national “Choose Better” ad, which continues the brand\u2019s campaign which began in April 2025, will also feature LSU star Flau\u2019Jae Johnson, the brand\u2019s newest partner.<\/p>\n
