Jose Alvarado Details Arrest to Knicks Teammates

New York Knicks guard Jose Alvarado is always good for a story, and his recent appearance on the Roommates Show with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart proved just that. The native New Yorker dropped a surprising story from his college days.

During the episode, Brunson and Hart mentioned a trip Alvarado took to China during his college days, when UCLA faced Georgia Tech.

What started as a normal conversation quickly turned into one of the most entertaining stories of the year. Alvarado, who had completely forgotten about the incident, recalled how Chinese police showed up at his hotel room and began searching his belongings, leaving him completely in the dark about what was happening.

"At the time I had no idea. I didn't know nothing. I'm panicking, like, 'Yo, what did I do?'" Alvarado said on the show.

But later, it was discovered that someone had stolen a pair of sunglasses, and the police mistakenly identified Alvarado as the culprit.

"So I literally got arrested, went to the police station for like 6-7 hours." Alvarado added.

The most shocking part of the story? His own coach.

"He looked at me and said, 'Jose, we know you did it. Please tell us so we can help you.' And I'm like, 'Coach, I didn't do it. I promise,'" Alvarado recalled with a laugh.
