Why Jalen Brunson is the NBA's best underdog

Seeing how far Jalen Brunson has come in his career tells us all we need to know about him as a player. At every stage of his basketball career he has exceeded expectations and in the eyes of most he has overachieved. But even after an all star appearance and being a key part of the Knicks' revival, he is still being doubted by some who think that he's maxed out his potential.

Keep on doubting JB...real Knick fans will enjoy his rise. The fact that the championship conversation is going on is proof he is A1 level. Before JB this was never a even a thought nevermind a full controversy/conversation.

[@ThawnRufino]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he's the real deal and will take him over all the NBA superstars

[@newhoodie18]

He’s the best point guard now 😅🎬😃 turn our franchise around

[@flynnryder6113]

I will never forget the series against Miami (even though we lost) when Brunson was getting picked up full court, double teamed and blitz nearly every play and the dude was still putting up 40pts. He is a 1A superstar.

[@mattmccormick7443]

Brunson is definitely “that guy”. My MVP!

[@captainwohop]

Brunson is a legit championship contender point guard. Knicks fans knew it from day one. And Becky Hammon is one of the ESPN stupid take crew who speaks before they think. Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Chauncey, Tony Parker, Steph(!).. C'mon...

[@zachcomposto535]

What’s crazy to me about that whole conversation is that the Knicks were in midst of playing very good basketball and the media decided to talk about our “flaws” rather than saying positive things. This exact discussion was never brought up for other small guards like Mitchell and Trae (at the time of making his ECF run)

[@Osamas_worst_nightmare]

@@Bonsai-Sage I think Brunson and SGA are on the same level of value. It depends where they finish honestly because if the thunder get the 1 seed SGA is probably MVP but if the Knicks move up to the 2 seed Brunson has a legit chance. I just don’t see them giving a Knick mvp anytime soon

[@Bonsai-Sage]

@@Osamas_worst_nightmare MVP isn't about the seed of the team. Home court advantage in the playoffs is the reward for that. MVP isn't about points averaged. There's a scoring title for that. Mvp is about who's the Most valuable player to a contending team, in the league. Brunson is leading his team in multiple ways.

[@moonblast12]

When you say a team can’t win with a small guard as your 1a guy pretty much disregards the competition. Maybe Iverson and Nash not winning had more to do with going up agnaist prime Kobe and Shaq as well as prime Tim Duncan, Ginobilli and Parker than being small. Stockton lost twice to Jordan and Pippen, don’t think his height mattered. Saying a team can’t win with a short guard who scores at every level and is super efficient is just lazy reporting.

[@achilles8238]

I told my friends before knicks signed jb he is going to make the knicks relevant and is going to attract others to sign with the knicks I saw his playing style with the mavs and I was hoping the Knicks could get him at the time. I finally can enjoy watching the Knicks I have not been so excited to watch the Knicks since the Ewing years.

Noti gang ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@AndyMilonakis-j5p]

I did not understand the hate for the signing. He was COOKIN in the playoffs. Not 1 game either, multiple games! It wasnt only the point production, but how he was getting those points. He wasnt just chucking shots all game.

[@christiancordero7978]

Let's face it. The established stars never want to come to NY. We got a guy who hasnt even hit his full potential yet and he's balling out in a Knicks uniform. Plus, he has other players that are complimenting him. He's our 1A guy

[@grype83]

You can’t blame Knicks fans for being wary of every move management makes , they have made bad move after bad move for decades now. As a lifelong Knicks fan since the 90s I stopped watching most Knicks games around 2015 and when sports went woke I stopped watching all together. There was only one thing that got me to start watching games again and that is Jalen Brunson. I’m not only happy for us Knicks fans but I am very happy for Mr Brunson and how he is killing it right now, proving everyone wrong. Most people should have no problem admitting they were wrong about the guy and that he is currently one of the best pg’s in the NBA. When the Knicks are fully healthy I think they can win a championship. I don’t think it will be easy for them with teams like Boston in the way but the potential is there and that thought is the most exciting thing since I was a kid watching Ewing and Starks make it to the playoffs.

You are not a TRUE NYK FAN. True fans never stop watching, win or lose. But welcome back!

Devon Brunson's proving a more wrong and he's not big-headed. He just comes in and do his job but look like the media. Don't know what they're talking ayou. All need to go back to school and learn about basketball. Because the man is great and he's a superstar in my eyes. I played high school bowling in the parks at New York. The man could play and he's a superstar. The top gods and anybody he faces a destroy something. You already did with 4 next Dick. From out of Anthony Bruno and king and I forget the other one but aint nobody else? Did it Saturday night against a you Sting 40 points. Come on when you're gonna start believing.

​@@manlikeziAnd that's crap because when Mark Jackson said Steph and Klay were going to be the greatest back court ever, the media laughed it off. And they had to eat crow for that one. The media had no confidence in Curry because like Brunson he was too small, plus Steph had those ankle injuries earlier in his career to a point when people wondered if he would be in the league long.

[@lyriktehuti]

JB is like a 6’1” Hakeem who can shoot threes but can’t rebound or block shots. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣😂 He’s scores 65% of his points out of “pinch post” moves. He starts on the wing, dribbles into the paint area and then resorts to all kinda dreamshakes.

[@picknroll929]

Many Luka haters will say it's Luka's fault that JB didn't play like this when he was with Dallas but the truth is they both play the same position and they're both scoring point guards... Haliburton wasn't an All Star when he was a back up to Fox, Maxey wasn't an All Star when he was back up to Ben Simmons, Van Fleet wasn't an All Star when he was a back up to Lowry.. Quickley has better numbers now that he is a starter than when he was Brunson's backup.. At the end of the day it went well for both camps.. Brunson became an All Star and Mavs got Kyrie who is better fit along side Luka compared to Brunson..
