JALEN BRUNSON IS THE 2026 NBA FINALS MVP!
Brunson averaged 32.6 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 4.6 APG in the NBA Finals, leading the Knicks to their first championship in 53 years 🏆
Jalen Brunson was drafted in the same draft class as Luka Doncic, SGA, Trae, MPJ, and Deandre Ayton.
He was selected with the 33rd pick in the second round and played behind Luka for the majority of his Mavs tenure…
He signed with New York when many people thought it was an overpay, only for it to be a moment of Brunson betting on himself to prove himself right.
Now he’s an NBA champion and one of the greatest players to ever grace a Knicks jersey. 🔥
Jalen Brunson mide 1,87 (parece más bajo), no salta una guia de teléfonos y está lejos de ser uno de los más rápidos de la NBA.
Sus medidas no parecen las más prometedoras. De hecho, salió en segunda ronda dal Draft por esto, pero su corazón y sus genitales no caben en Manhattan.
Talento, tiro e instinto asesino al servicio de los New York Knicks.
Uno de los mejores del mundo.
"I feel lucky…I always wanted to see & be able to call a Knick championship. Professionally its rewarding. Personally its rewarding…Really a special group…They deserve to have these moments…I'm blessed beyond what I deserve…such a privilege to call these games"
– Mike Breen
Jalen Brunson taking the pay cut to come to New York, getting his friends on the team and actually winning the Championship. One of the most gangster stories in NBA history
The Knicks are an example of smart, courageous team building. Firing Thibs for Mike Brown was a ballsy decision by the Knicks. One of many that got them to this point. RJ & Quickley for OG, trading a 1st for Hart, signing Brunson to a big deal, the Randle for KAT deal, sending a ton of picks for Bridges, and moves around the edges like adding Shamet and Alvarado. Some teams are built through the draft. The Knicks were built through masterful trades and signings. Big time credit to Leon Rose and that New York front office.
The Cavs and Spurs announce they will resume the Finals on Tuesday in Cleveland
The Cavs say analytically they would have won 3 games while the Spurs say the would have absolutely dominated all games except for a few mistakes
This puts the Cavs up 3-2 heading into Game 6
