Jalen Brunson changed EVERYTHING for the New York Knicks! He’s a SUPERSTAR! – Zach Lowe | NBA Today

Another big performance for him a little Brunson on Broadway last night where’s your voice Malika on Broadway about me this is about Jaylen Brunson and the MSG crowd gave him an appropriate reception the Knicks they Trail by as many as 15 in doing everything he can to get them

Back in this game in the second look off the dribble coming off of screens hitting them with the okey do I say that’s the crossover that shakes the defender look how quick he’s able to go and attack the basket and then slow down the emot is there what is he doing there

Oh deception going ahead to the fourth quarter here remember Tyrese halberton still on a minutes restriction so he couldn’t play late in this game but Brunson said you know what it doesn’t matter who’s on the floor I’m going to tie up this game look at him bully ball

Big body Brunson right there tomato chest footwork little float in the lane I’m telling you there no other guard in the league that plays this type of style of ball with the physicality stop there today yeah I mean he has post up game he’s got the elbow

Shots now this is the tough shot that he actually took we were worried for a moment he got hit in the face here it looked like he just got clawed a little bit in the eye he went down there wasn’t a call here Brunson we were worried as

You said for a minute would he get back up Not only would he he made an impact 1 count the basket and one oh and he’s saying it he’s letting everybody know you got to love it though this is literally a movie We’re watching unfold within our eyes the Villanova Knicks

Dante D venzo gives the Knicks a three point lead here but the Pacers they weren’t going away easily in this one New York escapes with the win 109 105 we don’t usually see this type of emotion from Brunson just talk about the journey you’ve been on and how it has reached

This point now where you’re on the garden floor hearing MVP chance and you’re going to the all-star game I [Applause] mean I got I got nothing to say I got nothing to say what did you see out of this group where mainly seven guys played but yet

Fought back from down 15 to win we kept fighting man I mean no matter what we’re going to keep fighting that’s what we do going keep fighting every single night that’s what we do especially here man this place is unbelievable especially here congratulations jlen thank you so much pretty remarkable how many people

Stayed after with all the things there is to do in New York City to cheer on their All-Star Jaylen Brunson who recorded his 19 30-point game of the season that ties the 1984 85 Bernard King and 6566 dick Barnett for the most 30-point games prior to the all-star

Break in Nick’s history and you can see his Stellar Play It’s been a major Catalyst for the Knicks turnaround entering January the Knicks sat at eth in the conference seven games back of the second seeded bucks and fast forward to now they are the three seed just a

Game and a half back of the milwauke bucks for the second seed in this one as we say hello as promised to our senior writer Zack low Zack this run I mean it feels pretty magical right by the New York Knicks you always thought though they maybe had a puncher’s chance what

Do you think of them now that you’re seeing this uh they’ve become a more powerful puncher they’re like 80s Mike Tyson right now for a puncher’s chance I said all year we could wake up and see this team in the Eastern Conference Finals and now that they’re in that two3 spot

If they can stick it there and avoid Boston in the second round that could become a reality and let me tell you this once you’re in the Conference Finals anything’s possible like Kevin Garnett one said this team is tough and physical and nasty and they will pound

You every single night until you decide oh my God we don’t want to play anymore and let me talk for a second about jayen Brunson jayen Brunson is a superstar Jaylen brunson’s acquisition changed everything about the new New York Knicks it changed the direction of how they

Built their team they brought in some other sort of young mid-career vets like Dante D venzo anobi Josh Hart that fit his timeline because he’s that good you reorient everything you have to do around jayen Brunson when he’s producing like this he should have started the

All-Star Game and he’s a New York kind of player crafty old school self-made tough physical this is something magical that’s happening in New York right now knock on would it keeps up because this is the most fun thing going in the NBA right [Applause] [Applause] now
