The New York Knicks are making waves in the NBA playoffs, and they are doing it without their star forward Julius Randle. Point guard Jalen Brunson has stepped up to the plate and taken on the role of the team’s new face, impressing fans and legends alike with his stellar performance on the court.
Hall of Famer Bernard King, who was once considered the greatest scorer in Knicks history, recently praised Brunson’s offensive prowess on ESPN’s “NBA Today.” King highlighted Brunson’s mastery of scoring and his deep understanding of defense, which has been crucial to his success in the postseason.
What’s even more impressive is that Brunson has achieved a feat that only NBA legend Michael Jordan has accomplished before him – four straight 40-point playoff games. This remarkable achievement has elevated Brunson to superstar status in New York, despite being previously seen as a second star or role player with the Dallas Mavericks.
As the Knicks continue their playoff run, all eyes will be on Brunson as he leads the team with his exceptional scoring ability and leadership on the court. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how far Brunson can take the Knicks in the postseason and whether he can continue to make history with his outstanding performances.
