His #2 guy scored 2 points today and was in foul trouble all night against the alleged greatest defensive force of all time, and Brunson dropped a 50% field game with 45 on 27 shots.
Respect him.
Don't take it for granted, 53 years it took. With all the twist and turns there is a small amount of luck involved in every run. Guys have to be healthy for 100+ games, the shooting can't go out, whole team has to be on the same mission. Special group of players
Jalen Brunson is 4th player to score 45+ points in a NBA Finals clinching win. Others:
