POLL: JALEN BRUNSON’S TEARS FOUND TO BE THE ONLY DEPLOYABLE WEAPON CAPABLE OF STOPPING A NUCLEAR FALLOUT

Military analysts suggest the Knicks guard’s emotional state is now America’s primary deterrent against foreign aggression. A new Pentagon report calls for immediate investment in 'Sadness-Based Interceptors.'
"We’ve seen the footage; when that man weeps in a post-game press conference, the sheer humidity created could extinguish a mid-sized sun." — KEY SLUDGE FINDING
In a bombshell report released Wednesday by the Department of Defensive Feelings, Pentagon officials have confirmed that the only thing standing between the civilized world and total thermonuclear annihilation is New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson’s current level of emotional distress. The study, which monitored seismic activity during the NBA Playoffs, suggests that Brunson’s tearducts possess a mineral density capable of absorbing radioactive isotopes and neutralizing enriched uranium.
“We’ve pivoted our entire national security strategy toward ‘The Brunson Crying Curve’,” said Admiral Thaddeus Gulp (Blinking Warning Light), the Pentagon’s Chief Officer of Tactical Sobbing. “While the Knicks were being ‘exposed’ on the court, they were actually inadvertently shielding the Tri-state area from a theoretical hypersonic missile strike. Every time Jalen misses a mid-range jumper and looks at the floor with the eyes of a Victorian orphan, a North Korean launch sub loses its guidance system.”
Congress is now debating a $40 billion aid package meant not for the team, but for a specialized 'Emotional Support Surcharge' that would provide Brunson with precisely enough heartbreak to keep him weeping through the fiscal year. Skeptics, however, warn that if the Knicks actually win a championship, the resulting surge in serotonin could lead to a catastrophic collapse of the American ozone layer, which is currently held together by the collective sigh of Madison Square Garden.
Specialized sensors placed in the locker room have already begun harvesting 'Brunson Brine,' a substance that scientists at MIT say is 4,000 times more conductive than copper. Plans are reportedly in place to coat the entire Atlantic fleet in a thin veneer of Jalen’s post-loss sweat to provide stealth capabilities against radar. “It’s about the salt content,” noted Dr. Helena Pout, a leading expert in Weaponized Melancholy. “The despair is so pure it bends light.”
As the playoffs continue, fans are being urged to keep their expectations low, not for the sake of the standings, but for global survival. A spokesperson for the Knicks declined to comment, though they did confirm that the team's training staff now includes four existential philosophers and a man whose only job is to play the theme from 'Up' on a loop near the hydration station.
UPDATE: The Department of Energy has successfully powered the city of Scranton for three hours using only the data from a single Brunson turnover during the fourth quarter.
