Why Knicks Legend Bill Bradley Is So Impressed with Jalen Brunson | The Rich Eisen Show

Jaylen Brunson what do you think of when you watch him play and just hear his name right now bill um I I I like the way he plays he is learning to make the worst player on the team better he’s making each of his teammates maximize

Their abilities uh and the more he does that and the more he has a team that hustles and has a commitment of unselfishness the better he’s going to be I mean the name of the game is a maximum player movement ball movement that rewards unselfishness and as long

As the Knicks do those things move the ball and play unselfishly and he is the guy the point guy that starts that uh they’re going to do well he also seems to have raised the level of his game though considerably I mean he is just uh ascending isn’t even the proper word for

Him yes he can and he’s at a critical path he can uh take the path of his considerable individual skills average a lot of points or he can be a champion and I think he’ll score less points but his teammates will be better and then

They have a chance of being a great team and but I like him because he seems to be the leader on the team too which is uh really good for one of the best players well and if you you you’ve been uh in that building for decades it’s rare to see a

Player do what he’s doing and plug into the fans and have the that building plug into him there there there’s there’s an IT factor that is so rare to be seen in Madison Square Garden right now with him I think that’s true but I think we have to be careful about

The it Factor being only to jayen I think jayen would be the first one to to say and Tibido it’s to the team the way the team plays because one player is not going to win the championship and I think that the the fans sense there’s something going on there when you win

133 what 13 and two in January that’s that’s great that’s great that’s certainly as good as we ever did uh except when we went 19 in a row but I think that uh they have to do that in February and in March and we’ll see where they go from there but the

Potential is enormous so in your multiple All-Star games that you played in how competitive were those All-Star games Bill uh I was only in one so I didn’t I thought you played in multiples okay so I only played him one only one okay but the allstar games were

Competitive it was always seen as a different kind of game uh if you were you wanted to win for your team but it wasn’t like winning for your team if you know what I mean it was group of guys who had a certain pride and their pride now was they were

Against other really great players and they wanted to win so people wanted to win it wasn’t some exhibition of shooting it was they want to win so they played defense they passed the ball and they scored and uh the most valuable player usually deserved it and

Uh but it wasn’t it was always seen as a break between what was really important which was your season catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
