DISRESPECTFUL Comparison… | Knicks News
Jaylen Brunson has been in the news a lot recently but not in a good way a lot of people been talking about him calling him too small giving him these different type of comparisons and now former NBA player Gilbert Arenas weighed in and gave his thoughts on Jaylen Brunson and
He made an extremely disrespectful comparison we’re going to break down exactly what he said today and so much more so be sure you subscribe to the channel and have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started Gilbert arenus makes a terrible
Comparison for Jaylen Brunson now listen I understand it everybody wants to weigh in on the New York Knicks what they’re doing this season they’re best players including Jaylen Brunson I understand that thank you I tip my hat to you guys I really appreciate that but listen can
We stop the comparisons as especially if they’re going to be disrespectful and you know what for the most part before I roll this clip Gilbert Arenas was actually very respectful he said a lot of good things no lies detected it wasn’t until he went to the player comp that we have issues
Let’s roll this so you can see exactly what I’m talking about roll the clip so it’s the time to start considering Brunson as elite point guard in this league no he’s he’s Elite his name is just not Elite right his game the the the he reminds me of um Isaiah
Thomas that Boston year right where he like he is the he is the motor of the team he is the team but the name don’t match the game right and it just seems like you know there’s always these guys that come into the league that you know
They are a force but because they don’t have that that backing that a name that that stardom name they don’t get the recognition Isaiah huh wait you said Isa wait him Isaiah Thomas remember from Boston Boston right it’s he did have the name is nah no he
Didn’t you see what I’m saying did did you hear what he said Isaiah Thomas not the bad boy Isaiah Thomas the little Isaiah Thomas from the Boston Celtics now listen before I go off here all credit and kudos to the other Isaiah Thomas who played in Boston and who was
Traded to Cleveland played over there as well too I remember it I lived it I saw it I know how good he was I know how good he was for that Boston team but Brunson is better way better absolutely better clears him better that’s what we’re talking about here I cannot
Believe this is a conversation I get it the New York Knicks where they are right right now they are in the middle of the paack in the Eastern Conference they are not at the top they are not at the bottom they are within the four and five
Spot I understand it it’s a conversation Jaylen brunson’s going off so he’s becoming a conversation is he 1A according to Becky Ammon that was a question or now is Brunson Elite well he is Elite but his name is not Elite to an extent I can understand that I think in
A way Jaylen Brunson is kind of having the Baron Davis effect because there was a time where Baron Davis was destroying the league but he was doing it quietly and wasn’t saying anything and nobody was saying anything about him but everybody knew that man was a force he
Was a force to be reckoned with he was strong he may have been undersized but he could give you that business and give you that work Jaylen Brunson in that same regard is seen in that same light I think he’s good very good but he’s not seen as good because there are other
Players other guards that are around the league that are getting more praise that are looked at more than he is and I think that’s just the consequence of where he is right now and how he’s playing right now and the other stars around the league right now but it
Doesn’t mean he can’t break into that I’m telling you one thing right now Jaylen Brunson is slander thinking that Jaylen Brunson isn’t a top tier guard he’s knocking on that door folks if he’s a number two option right now he is is knocking on the door of super stardom he
Is knocking on the door of a 1A option you want to know why because he is putting up numbers that are like MVP Steph Curry if you’re doing that in a season not in a one game two game three game Span in the course of a season he
Is putting up numbers like that then you have to talk about him in that regard you have to start mentioning him in that regard guard with those great because if you don’t it’s like you’re doing a disservice to him and what he means to that team what he means to this New York
Knicks team what he is doing for this franchise how he’s helping this team win each and every night Jaylen Brunson is an absolute Master Class when he’s on that floor on some nights and On Any Given night he can drop 30 points 35 points on you you never know what could
Happen footwork Elite he breaks down a defense methodically he just knows how to do it because he knows what to go to when he’s in that paint he knows what works and what doesn’t that type of player is very hard to find in this NBA you’re not going to find another Jaylen
Brunson if you scoured the league right now that’s why he’s so good that’s why he’s so box office because you cannot replicate what he gives you by going out and getting another player adding another player cuz not every single player you add can do what Jaylen Brunson does that’s why he’s impactful
That’s why he’s a game changer and that’s why he’s knocking on that door of super stardom you may not like it but guess what you absolutely have to appreciate it and going back to what arena said here let’s not go back to exactly what he said about Brunson and whether he’s
El lead or not let’s talk about the overall Jaylen Brunson and his game is Elite that’s what he said that’s absolutely true no lies detected there however if you put the name of Jaylen Brunson to the game he said it doesn’t fit for right now I agree but that
Doesn’t mean in a year’s time it won’t fit I agree with them right now it’s not as strong but you know what it’s stronger than it was last year Dunkin Donuts Commercial and guess what it’s gonna be stronger next year so I think right now he makes a point but in a year
Or two from now that point won’t hold up the name will match the game the hustle and the play that we see from Jaylen Brunson so let’s go ahead and put that out there but also what he said about Jaylen Brunson and the fact that his name doesn’t hold that weight of an
Elite player just because of who he is I think that’s because of what he said because jayen Brunson came out of the second round he was not drafted in the first round and as you know with a lot of the players that we’re talking about him in comparison to like the Donovan
Mitchells of the world that was a first round pick and he played out of his mind his first year so we understand why he’s so box office and why he’s considered a star Jaylen Brunson may not be considered a star yet because of the way
He was drafted and the way he came out of college even though he won and he had one of the greatest games he was involved in one of the greatest games to ever go down but even though that’s the case it doesn’t matter because he had
Has to play each and every night like that type of player in my opinion he’s not going to be seen like the Donovan Mitchells of the world or the Devin Bookers of the world or any of those type of players until he gives you this type of play each and every season
Consistently and he turns it up in the playoffs he’s already done it in one season he does it this year again which by the way he’s on Pace to do they’re going to start mentioning his names with those players mark my word words take that Becky Hammond and if you’re a
Betting man I would say put your money on that in the future jayen Brunson will absolutely be all NBA he will absolutely be Allstar and also he will be knocking at that door and in my opinion he’ll reach that door of being a 1A type of
Player but what about you guys what do you think about Gilbert arenus and his comments about Jaylen Brunson and whether or not he’s Elite in this NBA let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for
This episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans peace
Jalen Brunson has been making headlines recently, though, maybe not necessarily in the way you’d ideally like to. ESPN Analyst Becky Hammon recently called Brunson too small to be the best player on a championship team. That caused an uproar with Knick fans around the nation but now we have former NBA player Gilbert Arenas speaking about Jalen Brunson and if he’s ELITE. In answering this question, he made a player comparison for Brunson….which was not only disrespectful but inaccurate. Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Its Gilbert who cares he was good for two years. Jalen already has had a better career then Gilbert ALREADY!! AND HE STILL UNDER 30. HE IS ELITE WHEN HE WINS THE CHIP IN NY WE CAN BRING THIS RECIPT BACK UP.
What's in the water ?….Haterade ?
Great video. I hope he makes that dude eat his words with jelly on top.
There's such a ridiculous bias against us throughout the media, so sick of it. Kick us when we're down, and try to invalidate us when doing well 🙄
How does Jalen Brunson's name not be known when his Father played in the NBA – make it make sense lmao.
If he was anywhere other than the New York Knicks, he would receive higher praise… Alot of people around the country hate NYC, especially the Knicks, just ask Tim Hardaway…
Thomas was a beast he cooked allot of teams before his injuries. Davis won a championship with Detroit. JB have allot in his bag but playing for NYK he won't get credit the media and other NBA teams hate to see NYK do good.
I saw the Christmas game. After the game brunson and dame Lillard dapped up… They both are exactly the same height but nobody ever uses dame Lillards height as a reason why he couldn't be the best player on a championship team. Even when spida was in Utah nobody ever said any of this about him either. I know why tho. Even tho brunson is bussing everything in sight, ppl are having a hard time accepting brunsons body type as a 1A player even more than his height. Its like if brunson stood next to 4 other basketball players and you asked someone to pick the one person thats not in the NBA out of the 5… They might pick brunson the most because he doesn't look like your prototypical ball player. Ppl need to start wrapping their minds around the absolute fact that brunson is an absolute dawg, superstar, allstar, all-NBA player!!! Case closed
Isiah Thomas was killing the league before his injury!! But Brunson has a better overall game!
Look at Tom Brady. That man was the last pick in the draft, yet he's one of the best that ever played the game. It doesn't matter where you were picked it's how you play the game. Brunson will be okay we believe in him, and so does he.☝🏽
These people simply enjoy hating on The New York Knicks and anything positive coming out of the franchise. How many talking heads have you seen openly
criticize Tre Young for being too small? And as far as the eye test, it looks like Brunson's got an inch or two on him in height, and about 20lbs. FOH!
And now let’s get started….😂 I love it, Jalen Brunson way better then Thomas…
About my Knicks, They Hates Us Because They Ain't Us. Brunson is the DUDE.
Brunson is a leader like the Detroit Isiah Thomas. These are 🤡 remarks be a 🤡
I rather have it just as it is because if he was talked about too much there would come this great expectation and when he has a bad game never advanced the team it would be crazy how they would bash him I like the quiet assassin approach
DONT'T ACT LIKE ASIAH WAS KILLING FOR TWO SEASON IN BOSTON BEFORE INJURY
They hate non Bronson they hate non-new York. I'm not sure well. I'll be as brand name bought and brunswick was bronson's doing his thing😅😂
EVERY BODY HAS AN OPINION
You are f wrong, what did you do in the NBA Arena ,
Cwc- Gilbert arenas mad cause jb11 is better then him.
CWC – what's his name have too do with a star name. If u can ball u can ball the name don't make u, ur game does.
Jb11 averagein 25 points a game. His worse games he give u 21.

@TheknicksRecap Jalen Brunson is one of my Favorite nba player on my top 10 list! His captain Clutch ! I’ll say his a #UnderratedSuperstar What’s your comparison for Jalen Brunson?
Jalen Brunson is a superstar. Period.
This man has two NCAA national championships this man dismantle the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz before coming to New York. This man dismantle Donovan Mitchell in the Cavs just last season. What did Gilbert do But lose to Lebron in the playoffs
What has Gilbert accomplished in his career that makes him qualified to dish out such harsh criticism against anyone.
I don’t understand all the hate on JB he’s done better than Some of the players that talking about 😊
Jalen is better than Isiah Thomas from Boston. He’s doing it at crunch time.
They better be glad he’s not bigger, so be thankful.
