Mark Cuban admits the Mavericks completely misjudged Jalen Brunson before letting him walk to the Knicks
Ben Rogers: How did Jalen Brunson get away?
Mark Cuban: "It was really, really simple. We didn’t see JB, as what he would become"
"He showed that star potential when Luka got hurt, and he won those games against Utah for us but we were trying to get a star to put next to Luka, and JB’s star had not risen yet"
Yall talking about what Jalen Brunson did like he’s Chauncey Billups
In the history of the sport there’s only 5 dudes who lead the playoffs in scoring and win a chip
Mike
Jerry West
Shaq
LeBron
Jalen Brunson
Most guards of any size can’t play 70 games of high usage hoops and be healthy enough to cook for 4 rounds but Jalen can
Becky Hammond’s point about small guards is still correct, OG Anunoby was their best player on both ends in the finals. Brunson just happened to score 40 in game 5 to skew the narrative but anyone who watched knows that OG was the game changer for them. Period.
