Jalen Brunson, NBA champion and finals MVP, is officially the greatest Knick ever

“When the Knicks won the NBA Cup this season, Brunson devised a plan to make sure that the peripheral people in the Knicks organization—medical staff, locker-room attendants, etc.—received a portion of the money that the players get for winning the in-season tournament. This is who Brunson is.” 🎁

The night Jalen Brunson — an NBA champion and Finals MVP — became the greatest Knick of all-time. My (free) story about a tale that’ll be told for eternity: www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

“Brunson, who now has 10 40-point games in postseason, averaged 32.6 points per game in the finals against a defensive as aggressive as any seen this decade. Brunson’s numbers in the clutch rise above everyone’s since Jordan. He has literally won a championship at every level—twice at Villanova.” 🎁

This is a fantastically written article. Its sentences are a delight. So fun to read a great piece about a legend. Jalen Brunson has placed New York back on top of the basketball world, where it belongs. www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

If you're not aware of Jalen Brunson, I'm not surprised. He's been consistently under-estimated and under-valued to the point it's a kind of super-power. And in a sport that lionises super-humans, that makes him doubly special. www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

He Deserves It.. I thought this was gonna be a cakewalk for the Spurs. Brunson said fuck that. Easily one of the most legendary playoff runs by a player who constantly gets written off. Happy for Brunson, OG and KAT

“The greatest tales, the ones passed down like heirlooms, often end with an underdog placing a foot on the chest of a giant.” A lede that matches the moment.

Happy for NY! So glad I took the fubo free trial to see Game 5! Jalen Brunson is the real deal. A George Washington level character who is called a king, but would rather talk about something else. We need humble great Americans right now! Thanks Jalen! www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...
