Kenny Smith takes back his comments on Jalen Brunson 👀

Kenny The Jet Smith said earlier this year on Inside the NBA on TNT that Jalen Brunson was worse than Paolo Banchero and that the Knicks weren't real contenders because they would almost always have the 2nd best player night in and night out.
After meeting Jalen Brunson in person during All Star Weekend, (and probably watching actual New York Knicks basketball) Jet is starting to walk back some of his hate towards the Knicks All-Star Point Guard.

We knew Kenny was going to have to eat his words…

Brunson will bring a chip to this city

[@donalddemo]

Don’t forget, it’s a team sport, and no one player delivers a chip by himself

[@ricgrange5350]

Facts

[@wizdum2223]

Not anymore.

[@donalddemo]

He has got us up 2-1 in 2nd round missing 3 starters including Perennial All Star Paint Bully Randle now and 9/10 guy Bogey. And Pacers barely escaped 0-3 whole. Pacers go down in 5. Celtics 1-1 after being trounced by Cavs at home. Of course its figuratively speaking but JB taking us out in the deep water with Josh, Dante Hartenstein, OG and Deuce. They are playing better than the sum of their parts while Lebron, Steff, KD and many other All; Stars are golfing. Insane chemistry, genius coach and awesome staff! Very if not most legit argument for MVP!

[@tyronemurph1273]

You said Orlando too, don’t leave them out

[@donalddemo]

Jalen, Julius, OG, Dante, Iheart, Josh, Precious, Mitch, Deuce. No team taking 4 of 7 from us when we are finally 100% healthy - Those 9 are by far best depth / rotation in game.

[@toorichp89foeboyz]

Can’t forget burk and bojan. Knicks healthy are elite. Championship run

[@donalddemo]

@@toorichp89foeboyz 10th and 11th guys don’t get any burn in the playoffs. They are great insurance pieces at times like now. But they are towel waivers in the playoffs

[@theplanet7187]

​@@donalddemo Bojan is definitely getting major time on the court during the playoffs

[@donalddemo]

@@theplanet7187 You really think Tibbs goes with 10 in playoffs then

[@toorichp89foeboyz]

@@donalddemo what? U think duece is getting more looks then bogan. They got these guys so they can score in the playoffs because we traded IQ and had no real scorers off the bench. Thibs might run a 9 man rotation but that can possibly go to 10. just means their will be games duece doesn’t get mins. If Josh hart is playing bad he will be on the bench and it’s next man up mentality. But Bogan is playing every game he’s available and Burke will play when they need a scoring boost for whoever isn’t performing well

[@gilfordmccormack8140]

Nah stay on the other side Kenny

[@VincentBrevard26]

He just won't give Brunson his credit! Even when he's trying to compliment him. 😂

[@skillzv]

Awŵ Kenny and SAS🤣🤣🤣

[@dj.boy2948]

That’s why no team want Kenny as a coach. He doesn’t kno shit.

[@elamigito1]

Jalen knows how to play the game and lately he has really tuned in on the blitz and made winning plays. Got to also give credit to Thibs for figuring out how to coach the game that fits his players

[@Enerjay88]

He is THE BEST PG IN THE EAST, PERIOD.

[@Juan_rivera]

All they're doing is giving Brunson more fuel

[@jeypar]

Kenny Smith sucks

[@Fsojack]

You watching his success

[@DFDub84]

All yall Knicks fans that thought that bag was wasted when JB left my Mavs... where yall at?? How yall feel about him?

[@thelegend7568]

This is help too that last spot ….Aleksej Pokuševski need to pick him up from okc he’s been waived Robinson was a project too and skinny now he a premium center.

[@jrr59]

[@jamesmoore9636]
