[Bloomberg] Jalen Brunson Is the Player the NBA Needs Right Now – The league is looking for its next megastar after LeBron James and Steph Curry, and the “everyday” guard could be the answer.
[Bloomberg] Jalen Brunson Is the Player the NBA Needs Right Now – The league is looking for its next megastar after LeBron James and Steph Curry, and the “everyday” guard could be the answer.
I think Brunson as the potential possibly go down as one of the greatest NY sports legends ever. However I feel like outside of NY he will never have the star power that curry or lebron have.

brunson somehow got really lucky and to be that skillful. but it cant be brunson taking it all.
no American talent has really taken the place of lebron steph, even the A list nba players like harden westbrook and Kd dont exist anymore.
seriously, jokic and gannis are great, but they dont comand anywhere near the same gravity as even harden did from 2016-19.
wemby is the only kid we all agree is going to be the next dominate player, but for now who ? we are marketing Shai but he and oKC have done nothing, AD in a big market LA has been very disappointing, and jimmy had a great run for 4 years but his times up. and ja shot himself more or less
we dont like brown ( who is an amazing player) because he backed up kanye and then took shots at adidas, and then backed kyrie and hated nike. and tatum isnt that man, great player probably HOF, but we think hes corny and he cant carry a team himself we all see the memes.
the kid we all fell inlove with last year ANT is going to wear the crown it looks like, he has the highest upside, biggest high lights, best personality, and he has swag that the euro players dont.
brunson can be harden level, but i think only 1 player has lebron steph level

He’s taken a step forward every year. The team is a contender. The offense is set up for him to dominate in the paint. I think we’re seeing the beginning of a David wright/derek Jeter situation here. I’m shockingly confident we’ll get at least one ring during his time here. Brunson will go down as the greatest Knicks to ever put on the jersey

He’s the guard I’ve been asking for since Chris Duhon was our starting PG

There’s something special about an average sized guy doing above average things against people much bigger than him. Growing up, I could aspire to be a Bronson or a Curry, but I’d never be a Wembanyama.
Last year, you saw a lot of “look at the great wembanyama blocks” like now fucking shit the dudes a tree and yet still has athleticism.
Curry and Bronson are physical examples of thousands of hours of practice by average sized people. Mush more relatable.

Brunson is a DAWWG right now. Anyone who thinks the Knicks are going be worse off because of the Randle/KAT trade is being disrectful to a once in a generation PG talent coming into his prime. This team will win the ship this year. Enjoy this season Bockers fans we’ve been waiting along time for this…WU-TANG

What makes him an “everyday” guard? Just his height?

It’s really interesting how the NBA hasn’t been in this position for several decades.It’s always had at least 1 or 2 mega stars in the league.I’m not sure Brunson will be that guy though.Casual fans are more into players that make highlight plays every game and are very marketable to the youth like a Jordan,Kobe,Shaq,Lebron,Curry etc.I think Edwards or Wemby could fill that role.Ja Morant as well if he can recover his poor image and stay healthy.I’m curious how this will play out.

People will pay attention to us once the season starts. The narrative of the Knicks being terrible has changed. People will gladly hop on the bandwagon of a winning team. We can be America’s Team with clean cut wholesome married guys who are buddies off the court deal we have.

Yea I don’t think Brunson is close to the next “face” of the league as curry and lebron get older.
