Going down and he’s leading this St 40 points for jayen Brunson the Brunson Blitz continues he’s a legitimate star he’s the type of leader and the type of player who makes those around them Better the love of basketball was evident to me honestly since the day I was born I was always surrounded by it the moment he could walk he was holding a basketball and running with the basketball I remember when Jaylen was about two was 3 years old we used to

Come and watch his dad play and he was always would bring a basketball you know he would dribble the ball would fall down he would go get it oh my gosh he always wanted to be on the court after every game a beg people to be on the

Court my gosh this is one of my favorites this one right here and that’s the first time I ever saw him take like a leadership role that’s what I knew he would he was a leader not a follower come on come on let’s go fell let’s go we through 1 2

Three I always wanted to play in the NBA especially seeing my dad play being able to watch my dad and see the things that he was able to do I think the older I got uh the more I kind of had that drive to actually do it runs in a seconde

Player from Temple all the way up and in left-handed how older you get you realize how hard you really have to work Rick is Relentless and he’s so loyal and if there was anything that he could do to help Jaylen he would do it I know that Rick pushed him because he wanted

It obviously and they got this big three they want to see it evolve into what they think it’ll be which is a championship team in the game Brunson going coast to coast and finishes us Brunson step back three-pointer it’s Goodson takes a shot drives inside layup is good off the steel another turnover

Brunson throws it down you love the unselfishness there I constantly say to him remember you’re not supposed to be here they don’t think you belong sometimes when I’m I’m in the zone and I’m I’m comtable and I just know when the ball is just going to go in no matter how I’ve been

Shooting yeah that feeling is pretty pretty Priceless Brunson pulls up jump shot it’s good jayen Brunson seven for seven here in the third quarter Jaylen Brunson what a night for him Brunson gets inside flips it up and in and the foul Brunson puts it up and shot it’s good that one

Career high now in so many different categories what a victory tonight for the Knicks what a spectacular performance from Jaylen Brunson and they’re holding on to the basketball to make sure are they given to Brunson on a career-high 50 points one of the great shooting performances in the history of the

Games johs H up jump shot pun him in knowing that you have a guy like that who can win a game for you as long as you’re in stting distance that gives you a sense of common in and out dribble pull up 16 but got it the burner this is

What Jaylen Brunson does Brunson who’s just been Sensational this year continues next step now is for him to be recognized as an allar and that’s what this season awaits for Him guard at 62 from Villanova and just it out as a 2024 NBA Allstar number 11 jayen Bron for Jaylen Brunson the first one always so memorable especially when you consider the journey his dad played in the NBA played here for the dicks at Madison Square Garden a second round

Pick wasn’t even a full-time starter to his fourth year in the league But Clyde right now he’s one of the best guards in the NBA and it’s all because of a great work ethic you reached the goal that you thought about your entire life and so um

And another Shining Moment for the Nick Allstar point guard 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 mean I got I got nothing to say I got nothing

To say no matter what people think about you say about you think what you can and cannot do what you believe yourself is all that matters and know if you have those around you that support you know you can accomplish what you’ve set your

Mind to it can be done and I think he’s proven [Applause] it oh man allar allar all All Jaylen Brunson will head to Indianapolis to participate in his first All-Star game that takes place on Sunday he’s an amazing story a second round draft pick out of Villanova he’s a role player in Dallas you don’t know what he’s going to be when he comes to New
