New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson said his NBA championship hat is still unwashed and stored in a bag, explaining that he has avoided opening it because of the odor.
Brunson discussed the hat on a recent episode of “Roommates Show,” the podcast he hosts with Knicks teammate Josh Hart. He described the smell as a mixture of champagne, sweat, cigars, food, beer and tequila. The account does not specify when the episode was recorded or provide an update on whether Brunson has since taken the hat out of the bag or cleaned it.
The hat dates to the Knicks’ championship celebrations in June, according to the supplied report. Brunson’s comments suggest it was put away after the festivities and had remained sealed when he spoke about it. The report does not identify the exact date of the title celebration or describe the hat’s present condition.
The source’s discussion of possible mold or other growth is speculation, not a finding about Brunson’s hat. It offers an anecdote about a different person’s sweaty hat left in a humid closet, but provides no evidence that the same circumstances apply here. No expert assessment or inspection of Brunson’s item is included.
The available information is limited to Brunson’s remarks as recounted from the podcast and the surrounding description. It does not establish how long the hat has been stored, whether the bag is airtight, or whether the odor has changed. The account also does not report any health issue or damage connected to the hat.
