You could argue he's the reason we won all of these games. Even that game he scored 0 he had 16 rebounds with like 8 of them being offensive rebounds

[@hzanskigaming165]

Brunson and Edwards are two of the most likeable young stars in the league. Both as to their game, personality and leadership.

Would be hilarious if Thibs actually allowed Jacob to play and do Obi's dunk later on in the series.

[@user-is1yo3nj8p]

What's ironic is that Jacob could be just as talented. All that wasted talent rotting on the bench is why people question thibs. He overplays some players and completely ices out others.

Why is Richard Jefferson so mean? That woman made a great point about how it’s good that the NBA is moving away from superstar teams and focusing on good leaders that uplift their team. When KD went to the Warriors the league became terrible and no team had a chance. Now it’s different teams in the finals every year and it’s so much better this way.

Hartenstein has always been an efficient 3pt shooter. Check out his run in LA. Thibs just doesn't have him in that role b/c his rim protection is more important and there are three other snipers on the floor.

The ending 😂😂😂

[@nickferraris9143]

I love how this Knicks team is so selfless. None of them care who scored 40 or who has a triple double or who takes the last shot. It seems like this whole team is about nothing but the team. It’s a refreshing thing to see in the NBA at this time.

Yea that was the most he ever did for the Knicks At least now he plays for a team that encourages him to cherry pick

Felt so good he spent too long celebrating giving Divincenzo an open 3 the very next play.

[@user-bd4nm5wx8t]

The Knicks will need to pick up a free agent center in the summer. They should consider Nola Vucevic Brook Lopez and or Jonas Valancuiunus.

[@scaryfstball100]

He wasn't called for a moving screen, he was called for not allowing the defender to see the screen coming. Didn't give him a chance to avoid it. (Idk the correct wording, but it was not called a moving screen by the ref) These women don't have a clue.

[@rl-cx6kf]

Knicks front office needs to get some love for guys like Hart and O.G to compliment the BARGAIN that is Jalen Brunson. Imagine being a 76ers fan and knowing what you're paying Tobias Harris and looking down the highway to see what the Knicks are paying to Brunson.

[@ednies]

Cant believe RJ only had nice things to say about the Knicks

[@DanielRidore]

He’s playing great but, he’s also taking nearly 30 shots a game and shooting like 40% he’s playing 40+ minuets a game too

[@saisai514]

They touched on that point when they named their mvp of the playoffs so far. Ant is great and he’s efficient, but his offensive load is not as high as Brunson since he can afford to defer to Kat, and evidently even Naz Reid, for a couple of possessions at a time. Brunson 1000% has to be the guy with the ball in his hands otherwise the Knicks entire offense plummets in production. Because its just him, and teams know it, all of the defense’s attention is on him (hence why they quoted “All Eyes on Me” in the video) 24/7 from 94 feet down the court whether he has the ball in his hands or not. Its the same situation as Allen Iverson had where he is the sole offensive engine so it wont be hyper efficient, but it gets the job done which is all that matters in the end.

[@DanielRidore]

@@saisai514 Let's not do that. Brunson doesn't have to be the only option the same way AI didn't have to be the only option. Those teams made the decision to make them the only option. They have guys who can score. The Knicks have 4 other guys scoring in double figures and another scoring 9.7 in these playoffs. It's not just him. If it was they wouldn't have made it to the 2nd round. Ant's offensive load may be less than Brunson, but his defensive load is higher.

[@barryhoward7997]

F'en A I'm old. I've been an NBA for years! Brunson is playing at a historic small man level all season. I dare say better than Iverson. I'm simply having a hard time believing what I'm seeing. ForReal. Indiana isn't afraid. That was a great game. I'm just going to enjoy it and not wonder when or if it could end. WoW!

[@carmine_]

Knicks ALL day !!!!

[@caleblofstrom4322]

Brunson def on one. Take away game 1 and 2 against sixers and look at the end of the season. Only kobe and mj have ever scored more in final 10. Ant is gonna be the face, but Brunson is opening everybody's eyes

[@EastEastMel4]

Nova Knicks are tough. Go Cavs

[@HansToyHut]

Thryre calling him a ball hog and every ugly thing in between. Meanwhile Edwards has a 6th man of the year, defensive player of the year, a 1st round top pick center on the Wolves and everyone calling him Michael Jordan. Jokic has who? Murray who never even been an all star playing on one leg, Gordon who cant even win a dunk contest, KCP on one leg. SGA an MVP but never had a winning record until Chet showed up. Now OKC is one of the best defesive teams in the playoffs? SGA didnt do anything last year. The media is filled to the brim with idiots.

[@triniboy1016]

Yet you guys rank him at 15 in the 1st round of the playoffs and had Franz ahead of him is just disrespectful

[@jrod132]

I picked the Pacers to win in 7 games but I’m going with the Knicks winning the series in 6. Haliburton ain’t doing much and Turner is the most overrated player on the Pacers. Brunson is the MVP in the playoffs. His stats are better than Edwards and Brunson is doing it with average players. While ANT has KAT, Gobert, Conely McDaniels, and Reid

[@mrnixon2287]

The King of New York In the heart of New York, where the bright lights shine, Lives a lefty guard, whose moves are so fine. Big Body Brunson knows how to fight, He jinks and jukes like no other in sight. From downtown, he's deadly, precise. He sends defenders spinning into the popcorn device. Watch him in the paint, a sight to behold, He posts you up like the Ewing of old. His game is built on poise and power, In Madison Square, he's the man of the hour. This dude is legit, no shadow of doubt, A star on the rise, Pacers look out.

Bruh is this guy serious???? This knicks team has so much more talent then the Miami heat team lol i swear the media just does not stop and the insults and oh yea butler is nowhere close to jalen Brunson…. The knicks have jalen Brunson but thats the obvious… put Brunson a side lol the rest of the knicks team is SO much better… what is wrong with dork R Jefferson … he cant b forreal Maybe he just meant that they got the same mentality and they are dawgs.. cause i know he aint talking talent but hey at least they all said Brunson over Edwards cause that is the only answer

[@Jeff_Pryce]

If the Pacers let the game get to the point where ref calls made a difference, then they didn’t deserve to win. Look at Minnesota. Did they need calls to blow out the defending world champions? Winners don’t leave any doubt.
