Jalen Brunson was 5 for 18 at one point, banged up, just really struggling. And then he just willed himself and his Knicks to this Game 1 victory over the Spurs. Just a stunning, but not surprising, championship effort from the captain.
One quarter into the NBA Finals, Jalen Brunson is affirming the concerns people have about small guards being able to win it all.
The closer you get. The more physical it gets. So far, Brunson’s body is betraying him.
Adversity. Overcome. Adversity. Overcome. AGAIN and AGAIN
holy shit man, Brunson was struggling for majority of the game. KAT took charge until the 4th, and then let Brunson do what Brunson does.
CLUTCH.

i always thought he got a really bad rap when it came to his attitude here. all i saw was a guy that cared about winning more than anyone else on the team. he wanted targets becsuse he knew he could help the team win when he got the ball, not for any selfish reasons
Moving presser from OBJ. Definitely rooting for him.
On talking to Nabers about his own relationship to the New York media: “I know how they are. I know how they’re going to turn it…” 😂😂😂
