Knicks went up 3-1 with Brunson shitting his pants every game lol this series is about how absolutely perfect the roster construction plus coaching was around their alpha small guard. He was awesome and closed it out but that was one out of 5 games man.
I’m sorry but Jalen Brunson winning Finals MVP feels more political than basketball.
Not only do I not think he deserved it, I don’t even think he’s the best player on his own team.
But I understand why the league picked him.
#knicks won so who cares? NBA should be embarrassed. They went out of their way to protect Wemby. Got away w/ 3 flagrants 5 game series! overturns turning his fouls on KAT fouls were crazy. coach knew they wouldn’t keep the calls if the officials had time to think about it.
#Knicks2026Champs It's very noticeable that the only game the Knicks lost in the entire postseason was the game that Trump attended and if he hadn't attended it they could have won in the Garden so he fucked that up for every Knicks fan like he fucks everything up for everyone.
@TheHoopCentral@MrBuckBuckNBA This is a little strange by Rick Brunson. He doesn’t have to say Jalen is greatest FA signing and greatest Knick, but to go out of his way to say Jalen is neither is a little strange.
Rick Brunson: "I'm gonna stop the argument too, no disrespect, I love my son, Patrick Ewing is the greatest Knick that I've ever witnessed.”
Kenny Smith: "Well, I'm gonna say it, it's gonna be debatable now.”

In a league of killers, Jalen Brunson is one of the best winners of his generation. He won two chips at Villanova in three years, and he's made the New York Knicks into NBA champions. At 6-foot-1-ish. He's a great, GREAT basketball player.
Jalen Brunson’s ability to figure out a defense in a playoff series is uncanny.
He did it again:
First two games: 25 ppg | 34/23/88
Last three games: 37.7 ppg | 48/🚨52🚨/85
“Everyone’s better than Jalen Brunson until it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson”
Or maybe it should be:
“No one’s better than Jalen Brunson”
Or maybe just:
“Jalen Brunson is better than everyone.”
Becky Hammon: Knicks don't have a dude... you got to have a 1A dude
Perkins: They DO have that dude
Becky: Who?
Perkins: Jalen Brunson
Becky: He too small… If your best player is small, you're not winning... Steph Curry is the only dude
