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. 🔥
Yup efficiency is a cop out if you can’t do it down the stretch.
No matter how Brunson shot I knew down the stretch that when he touched that ball that shit is going in.
Notice no one is talking about Jalens field goal percentage? Because when it counted down the stretch he got clutch buckets when his team needed him to & that's what matters most.
Full circle 👏
