Jalen Brunson is just the 4th player in history to win Finals MVP while standing 6’2” or shorter.
🔸Jalen Brunson (6’2”) — 2026
🔸Stephen Curry (6’2”) — 2022
🔸Tony Parker (6’2”) — 2007
🔸Isiah Thomas (6’1”) — 1990
REPORT: The Knicks hosted Duke guard Isaiah Evans today as part of a group workout for draft prospects, per @IanBegley.
Evans likely falls in the range of the Knicks’ 24th or 31st overall selections in next week’s NBA Draft.
@Complex_C Bingo, JB don’t get here without Leon Rose and WWW. Everything starts at the top and they really the real MVPs. Made all the right acquisitions for JB style of play, especially to hide defense Mavs fumbled, but with all the love I have for them it was like a gift from God for me
@beans_cap Yeah when you’re talking about the guardians, but ya know there’s only one team to beat a 73-9 win team that is regarded the best team ever. I’m not a Cavs fan you know this lol.
@Complex_C He’s won more playoff games in 4 years than Knicks did in 22 years. Melo revived the city and they sucked again few years after that tenure was over. Even if I was on outside looking in what this dude done in 4 szns that ppl ain’t accomplish in 15 years
@Complex_C No 1 ever wanted this job bro! Thats reason why that dopamine hit is at all time high, if JB died today you have to stamp into basketball HOF, his career cant fall off a cliff or he doesn’t help his case but I don’t see him going anywhere. Winnin in NY is big for so many levels!
@Complex_C ANY hooper knows you can’t exert that type of energy for 4 quarters. Knicks did it better than them every single victory. Better team will always win. There’s many variations to measure winning and heart is undervalued when it comes to this team as well.
@Complex_C I’ll put it like this. Knicks had easy formula to emulate. Spurs didn’t treat it like a 12 round fight. Instead they went 100% for 2 mayb 3 quarters and by the most important part of the fight, they lost rounds 9-12 BADLY. Possibly coaching malpractice mixed with inexperience!
