"Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Jose Alvarado is back home to help the New York Knicks compete for an NBA championship. Ahead of the NBA trade deadline, the Knicks traded Dalen Terry, who was acquired from the Chicago Bulls in the Guerschon Yabusele deal, along with two second-round picks for Alvarado. New York also sent out cash considerations. That is an incredibly low price for a 3-and-D guard, and New York made it happen."
"Alvarado has consistently expressed his love for New York and the Knicks throughout his career. A Brooklyn native, his love for Madison Square Garden came from watching players like Carmelo Anthony, Jeremy Lin, Iman Shumpert, and Nate Robinson. He grew up a Knicks fan, and now he gets a chance to play for his favorite team. "It's a dream come true... you don't understand how happy I am.""
"Alvarado closed the first half of the season with a stellar performance against the Philadelphia 76ers. He dropped 26 points, knocked down eight 3-pointers ( tying a career-high) and had five steals in 19 minutes off the bench. It was one of the best stat lines from a bench player in recent memory. Even in a blowout, he maintained his intensity, grabbing two steals of his five steals in the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 40 points over Philly."
Jose Alvarado, a Brooklyn native, joined the New York Knicks ahead of the NBA trade deadline in a deal that sent Dalen Terry, two second-round picks, and cash considerations to acquire him. Alvarado grew up a Knicks fan and developed affection for Madison Square Garden by watching players like Carmelo Anthony, Jeremy Lin, Iman Shumpert, and Nate Robinson. With Miles McBride sidelined by a core injury, Alvarado provides defensive intensity, deflections, and three-point shooting. He has performed well in limited appearances and produced a standout 26-point game with eight threes and five steals in 19 minutes. Playing time is expected to increase as he integrates into the team's systems and pursues a championship role.
