Jalen Brunson has scored 30+ points in 47.4% (27 of 57) of playoff games with Knicks. The only players to scored 30+ points at higher rate with a single team (55+ playoff games) per @sportradar:
Michael Jordan 60.9%, Bulls
Allen Iverson 53.2%, 76ers
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 52.7%, Thunder
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 52.6%, Bucks
LeBron James 50.7%, Cavs
Jerry West 48.4%, Lakers
James Harden 48.2%, Rockets
People see Jalen Brunson and think he is not athletic because he doesn’t jump high. In basketball he is athletic because
1) he has a super quick first step
2) he can change directions super well
3) he can decelerate with the best of them
4)He plays off of two feet
I always encourage people to look at the picks the Thunder didn’t get. Houston 2021. Philly 2025. Utah ducked their multi-year obligation entirely. The lottery has by and large been unkind to the Thunder through protected picks. If they’d had San Antonio’s luck… yeesh.
Another regurgitated false narrative is OKC & San Antonio were built similarly through tanking.
OKC missed the playoffs 3 years:
#6 Giddey (traded for Caruso)
#2 Holmgren
#12➡️#10 Wallace (play-in)
Spurs missed the playoffs 6 years:
#11 Vassell
#12 Primo (play-in)
#9 Sochan (play-in)
#1 Wemby
#4 Castle
#2 Harper
Sportswriter @ScottAgness says the Indiana Fever revoked his credentialed access to team events.
He said the team cited the spread of inaccurate and unsubstantiated information, including his report on Caitlin Clark's injury status before a May 20 game.
