Knicks coach Mike Brown on Jalen Brunson: “He’s a top-3 MVP candidate. Everybody kind of mentions his name in passing. They don’t do it seriously enough. People say he’s too small. People say he’s a 1B or a 2B. He’s a freaking 1A. He’s an MVP candidate. He is him.”

16-3 record (third team to win title with 16 wins and 3 or fewer losses)
