Back in 2022, the Knicks had a choice to make 🤔
Trade everything for Donovan Mitchell…
or trust Jalen Brunson to become the face of the franchise.
New York chose Brunson.
A lot of people questioned it at the time, especially with Mitchell becoming available right after.
Tonight felt like another chapter in that story.
The Knicks were dead in the water entering the 4th quarter before Brunson completely caught fire and dragged New York back into the game.
Bucket after bucket, clutch shot after clutch shot, he helped spark a ridiculous 30-8 run as the Knicks erased the deficit, forced overtime, and stole Game 1 from Mitchell and the Cavaliers.
And suddenly that old debate looks very different again.
The Knicks didn’t just find a point guard in 2022.
They found their superstar 🌟
