FIRST TAKE | “Nikola Jokic is the best PG in NBA right now, not Brunson” – Perkins mocks Stephen A.

St a Knicks and the defending champs Michael Porter Jr who has been on a roll had another Top shooting night on his way to 31 points Nicola yic notched his 22nd triple double he’s good and the Nuggets held off the New York Knicks for a 113 100 Win Thursday now while it’s a

Tough loss for the Knicks Jaylen Brunson still a bright spot for New York this season Brunson leads the team at points assists games played leading the Knicks to the fifth best record in the East and even more impressive considering obviously all the injuries that they’ve

Dealt with here in New York so we bring in our guy Kendrick Perkins as promised hello perk like the Pinstripe how we feeling How We Living what’s up Miley what’s going on what’s going on what’s up what’s up big perk all right there we go there we

Go that’s the energy I need yeah well pep oh yeah I’m ready I’m ready I’m just just preoccupied Stephen A looks relaxed he looks like he’s he’s he’s he’s ready for this week he’s ready for this uh Milwaukee Adventure he’s on all right perk tell me this which point guard

Would you take over Jaylen Brunson right now I wouldn’t take one not nobody really and there’s no disrespect to Steph Curry there’s no disrespect to SGA but I’m not taking anybody over jayen Brunson matter of fact Molly I should have asked James and the producers to

Pull up footage over this over what guys were saying why the Knicks were on this West Coast road trip that they was just off we did you see him handing out 40 pieces did you hear what Mike Brown said about Jaylen Bronson for as guys far as the

Attention and the Deep details that they had to put around him blitzing him did you hear what Draymond Green said after they went there after jayen Bronson went to Golden State and gave them that work when it comes down to being a floor General right it’s no other player in

The game outside of Luca and I wouldn’t even consider him a point guard he’s a point forward that controls the game like Jaylen Bronson what he’s doing for the New York Knicks despite all the injuries I can’t say enough about it and right now he is the best point guard in

The game in my opinion when it comes to being a floor manager and a floor General that’s what he’s doing getting buckets and doing it on the defensive side of things he’s second in the league and taking charges Jaylen Bronson has been Sensational as a native New York and a

Die Hard Knicks fan I’m so thankful and grateful for the greatness that he’s put on display I think he’s been arguably the greatest free agent pickup this decade outside of LeBron James I mean he’s been that phenomenal averaging 29 a game by the way since Julius Randle and OG and anobi has gone

Down and having said that he’s behind Shay gilis Alexander let’s pump the breaks just a touch and put into perspective who Shay gilges Alexander is and what this brother brings to the table he’s second in the league and scoring he’s averaging 30.9 points per game career high

54.4% shooting from the field 375% from three-point range leads the NBA in over two steals per game career high 6.4 assist game right there with Brunson at 65 14.7 points in the paint per game which is fifth in the NBA and check out this stat perk on Pace to join Michael

Jordan as the only players in league history with two seasons averaging 30 points and five assists shooting 50% from the field by the age of 25 this brother is something special not only that he’s a legit 6667 I know what we’re seeing from Brunson not taking anything away from

Him especially being in New York on that stage without Julius Randall and an anobi and doing what he’s doing but despite what he’s doing Shay gilis Alexander is still battling for a number one seed in a tough Western Conference doing what he’s doing and oh by the way

He’s under the age he’s he’s he’s under age 25 and this the brother’s special I know that Jaylen Brunson is special too I’m sold but Shay Gil just Alexander no I’m not going to tell you I would take Brunson over him I’m not going to do

That well well say Let me let me say this SGA has been balling I think the future is bright for him I think he will be in all NBA player for years to come first team at that but let me say something it speaks volumes okay let me

Say this it’s one thing for us to come on television and praise what we’re witnessing of all these young players that are balling out of control right now uh in the NBA but it’s another thing for your peers for your peers the people that you’re going against to go in the

Post game and say these things that they’re saying about J and but what they’re saying about jayen Bronson and so when I think about jayen Bronson okay and I just think about what he’s doing the impact of how he’s doing it SGA is B I understand that but on top go

Ahead the reason here’s what I think you’re missing perk respectfully this what I think you’re missing okay we’ve seen SGA do something similar before so when they talk about him now they talk about him as if it’s ordinary he’s 66 with his ball handling shot making skill

Set and you’ve seen it before from him and you’re seeing it more now as they’re top of the number one seat in the western conference the difference between him and Jaylen Brunson no one saw this coming Draymond Green spoke about this the other day no one saw this

Coming so you’re looking at Jaylen Brunson and even though he’s had success in the past in Dallas had some success last year especially in the players against Miami what you’re seeing now it’s like damn we never saw this coming whereas with Shay Gil just yeah that

That’s him that that’s him that’s who he is I I I I get that I get that and it’s a valid point they didn’t want to believe it they saw it they just didn’t want to believe it and he had to every day he got to come out and fight to

Prove his love okay okay per I hate to cut you off but uh gotta hit the top of the hour here guys real quick let’s get for for for for for uh for for for what
