  1. Nick Wrong is waving Knick's pom poms because he wants Lefraud to go to New York so he can see him everyday in person to get his Klutch Sports endorsement check.

  2. CB just hating, downplaying Brunson. He mad Brunson's Knicks put out the Sixer's and his MVP he capped so hard for last season. Brunson has balled out since the 22 playoffs when he was the teams 2nd leading scorer in the playoffs behind Luka.

  3. why is Ant-man a superstar? According to Brou's logic. Edwards has 2 years of good/great play. If Brunson isn't and Ant-man is, then are we giving where he was drafted an issue. That goes against Brou's logic for Purdy in the NFL.

  4. They want everyone to be a superstar after a few good moments. Everyone can’t be a superstar. Stars yes.

  5. Not a superstar in my opinion. He's good. He's the best in his team. But not a superstar. He's not KD or Lebron or Jordan. Those are superstars.

  6. These guys just spent a good 8 minutes arguing whether Brunson is a "superstar" without defining (or being able to, I suspect) what a "superstar" means (just like there's no definition for MVP). Quite frankly, I don't think BRUNSON himself CARES whether people view him as a superstar–he's just out there trying to win the next game, the next series. If I were him, I'd rather that people DON'T think of me as a superstar, because that comes with too much pressure and scrutiny, none of which is welcome when you want to do your job well.

  7. Superstars are made in the playoffs. Nick is right to talk Playoff numbers. Jalen is close to superstar because of what he’ does in the playoffs in 3 seasons. I’d say he is superstar territory. And better than fox and Mitchell

  8. “In root” lemme remind you these are the people that are in charge of running journalism/commentating

  9. This Stephen A wanna be just said Donavon Mitchell is better than Jalen Brunson. I can strangle him

  10. First, we need to define "Super Star."
    I don't see how a player could even be considered a "Super Star" if he has yet to be a "problem" for the opposition during an NBA Finals series.
    Nowadays, we just place people on pedestals as soon as they have ticked the "minimum requirement" forms.

    To use an analogy, if Jalen Brunson was applying to the very best medical school in the USA, then he would just be an applicant who is doing well in his pre-med courses.
    lol

  11. As much as I love Brunson, Brou's right on this one, sadly. Even Nick is arguing about the trajectory. Superstar status imo, is not even Top 10, but rather Top 8. Old folks are falling off, and the only ones of the new crop that's entered that realm are Antman & SGA. Lots of superstar vacancies right now imo, league is kinda in limbo until we officially enter a post-Lebron stage. Bron is ossifying the league.

  12. They way “Superstar” is thrown around, it’s becomes so watered down (like everything else)… truth be told there only like 7 SUPERstars in the history of the league.. When you think SUPERstar, you should think carrying a franchise on their back. You think fans lining up to see them. You think selling out arenas. Seeing their Jersey outside of thier state. You think unstoppable.. Brunson is a great player but come on now… a superstar??? MJ , Kobe , bron level ?? Stop with this nonsense.

  13. What has Ant man done that Brunson has done? Put Ant man on the Knicks, is it the same? Maybe. But he has a better team and they says “superstar” and compares to MJ already.

  14. I’ve tried watching him for years. He just constantly disappoints me in his commentary I feel his knowledge is poor for being on a top sports show I’ve tried I’ve tried, but he makes me Change the channel every time
