It really is a remarkable run. He basically pushed that skill limit of a short basketball player as far as it could possibly go along with Steph and Kyrie.
David slayed Goliath 💯 🔥
He finally surpassed the greatest knick Raymond felton.
The age of travel
Jalen has that MJ and Kobe mentality. He turned his ankle twice and kept playing on through the pain. What a warrior this dude is. Dallas made a huge mistake letting him go.
This guy has officially cemented himself in the Isaiah Thomas stratosphere of players. Small guard, who is so so good, and with the right pieces wins you 1 or more chips. Like isiah, irlts when a pit bull or Doberman fuses with a techician. The temperament, the skills and the wills to achieve greatness. Love it
Wemby better
Notice at 1:51 wemby tries to do the same dirty move he did to Brunson in game 5
I want to say a couple of things about Brunson, first, incredible how he decided to take a paycut, so his team could build stability and talent, that speaks miles of him as a person. Second, he once mentioned he felt incredibly intimidated by Luka, at some point he felt he wasn't enough, as he compared himself with Luka all the time. And you can see he learned a lot from Luka. The fact is he found himself later, his own style of basketball, aside form his father, aside from Luka. He battled against all odds, always battling, A true warrior.
Castle made it harder for SGA in that OKC series than he did vs Brunson. That should tell you just how great he is
Man.. he went through hell and back in this series. I watched it all from game 1 where he scared the hell out of me when he got hurt and went to the locker room to game 4 where the Knicks had the best comeback ever in an NBA finals and finally finished it in game 5 with a 45 bomb. Man I wish he hit that game winner deep 3 in game 4. That would've been a TRIPLE BANG from Mike Breen and the biggest fattest cherry on top 😂😂😂 He even had a lack of foul calls where it's like the refs were blatantly trying to give the Spurs an advantage, but he overcame
He's been in my top 3 favorite players or even my favorite player to watch since I first watched him in his 1st playoff run on the Knicks. I know talent when I see it. I instantly knew he was one of the best and kept watching him since. He literally motivates me to want to play basketball lmao. What a crazy yet inspirational run by the captain
Also, it somewhat reminds me of Linsanity but with a good ending man.. Shoutout to Jeremy Lin. At least he also got 1 too
jalen brunson saved the NBA.
Because after going 3 rounds seeing SGA , a big guard, fall all over the place and get bad foul calls to seeing a small guard get kicked, tripped and pushed to the floor almost every one of these highlights, and keep scoring and not a huge foul parade, makes me say OK, this game is legit.
Shai didn’t look like this vs the spurs. He gone have to put on weight. But JB is a goat
The experts already have him getting eliminated in the 2nd or 3rd round next season, lol.
Yesterday’s price is not today’s price
It’s like he made everyone forget we thought he was gone for the series with that knee injury and ankle. lol
Who woulda thought this was the result.
The Brunson TAKE OVER.. was legendary. Pay the man ! If I ever see you in the street Brunson,, as long as I’m around you.. you won’t pay for anything while in my sight! I promise you big bro!! 🙏 I know you have way more money than me but don’t worry about it.. put it away! We all work we all got money I’ll handle it big bro, champ! 💯💯🏆
In all reality the Knicks won by a lot more points.. the goal tend on Alvarado by Kornet they didn’t count it. The flagrant multiple times to Brunson, OG, Kat by Wendy… we won by at least an additional 6 points that the NBA cheated the Knicks out of. Now I know the NBA has the most corrupt officials out of all the sports. I pray football never gets this desperate, as it’s my favorite sport. I already know soccer has its corruption moments but soccer sucks.
OG played lights out too
One word – LEGEND.
The new Mr 4th quater ❤
Congratulations Jalen I know how long & hard you worked for this ❤
