The Farewell Season. | For The Whole World To See

Pre-Game Media Questions.

"This is your 10th Christmas Day game. What makes this one different?"

"What makes this one different? Honestly.. nothing. Pressure, lights, expectations. That’s normal for all of us as professional athletes. Ten Christmas games just means I’ve been trusted ten times to carry the spotlight. Tonight’s just another opportunity to remind the people why."



"Did you get your kids anything yet or are you waiting until after the game?"

"We actually opened gifts yesterday. We all know Dad doesn’t get the gifts, I just get to see the smiles.. and honestly, that’s the better deal."

"You’re playing in front of a lot of people from your hometown tonight. Is this emotional or strictly business?"

"It’s love, for sure. I get to see familiar faces. It's always good to be back in the Garden so that part is emotional. But once the game starts, it’s business. This is about the Phoenix Suns & we're going into this game looking for another win."



"Did you read the article The New York Times published about you this week?"

"No.. And I’m not going to. I can't believe you just asked me that.. Put it this way. I’m here to play basketball, not read opinions. They’ve got a job to do, I’ve got a job to do. Mine starts in a few minutes. No more questions. I'm hitting the floor."

Tiny Jimenez scores a new season-high 38 points in his final Christmas Day match against the New York Knicks.

NEW YORK — It was a Merry Christmas for the Phoenix Suns tonight as they picked up their 9th straight victory with another blowout performance. The New York Knicks struggled to compete on the offensive end & went nearly absent in the fourth quarter, only adding 16 to bring their total to 85.

The biggest story was the homecoming for former MVP & NBA champion, Tiny Jimenez. The Garden paid tribute to Tiny with a lengthy tribute video that showed all of the best moments shared in that #32 New York Knicks uniform, including a championship in 2025.

"It was a special moment for me." Tiny Jimenez said in his post-game interview on the court. "Honestly, I wasn't expecting that but I am very appreciative to this organization & to the city of New York. This is home."

"I thought that was nice of them.." Suns' head coach, LeBron James told DS.net. "We were both part of that 2025 championship team, so to watch him grow as a player & receive that ovation in his final homecoming at the Garden. Then to go out & put up 38 in his final Christmas Day game. It was cinematic. I'm happy for him."

Jimenez didn't let emotions get the better of him as he went to work early in the first quarter with dunk after dunk after dunk. Then, he let it from behind the arc, knocking down 6/10 attempts en rout to a 38-point night.

He wasn't alone shouldering the scoring load, as teammate Recks Black added 31 points, 6 assists, & an impressive 6 steals in Phoenix's dominating victory.

Tonight's Friday night win is a big one for the Suns as they look to maintain the top spot in the NBA with an upcoming Sunday match against the San Antonio Spurs.

what a game for Tiny to close out his final Garden appearance

[djp73]

Had a pretty good idea that Tiny was going to go off in this one

[Agent]

I'm not crying. You're crying.

what a game for Tiny to close out his final Garden appearance

Was a big deal for me considering the length of this chise. I really wanted to bring it back to NYC but decided not to so I had to enjoy that final game. & how fitting that 2k would set that shit up on Christmas Day of all days.

You know I had to ball hog for that one but it's back to our regularly schedule programming against the Spurs
