People has forgotten the Knicks had a major piece missing half of the season and that's Julius Randle giving 25ppg, 10 rebs, 5 assists per. Julius and Jalen combo was working really well before the injury! With Julius out, it gave Donte the chance to step up and blossom.
Exactly people forget Julius going down hill is the poor mans LeBron. Great bully baller! If he was around adding 24 6 8 a night the Knicks would get the same hype as the Wolves
I miss the BULLDAWG Julius 😞
@@AssassinKing30fact. He would definitely help Brunson
@@patrickmexiquinnhe wouldn’t be doing any of that in the playoffs, he’s a dropper
@@Chigz10 you’re wrong. That was Julius trying to be the leader. He accepted this is jbs team now. We saw it in January before he got hurt….
4:40 JJ nailed it! “The Knicks are a better team… because that’s how basketball works. “
It's great to see Jalen getting the shine - even though it feels like most the natinal media (and ex players) are pulling out their teeth having to give him the credit he deserves. They're all straining to do it now...some worse then others for sure.
Most of the media don't watch the games. They just rely on highlights.
Chuck has been one of those who always mentioned or praised Brunson.
I feel like the media is going through withdrawals from a 2 decade addiction of making fun of the Knicks. Now, Knicks haters in comments and yt channels are comparing JB to Trae Young, saying he ain't nothing but a foul baiter...anything to make themselves feel warm and fuzzy, huh?
@@august6281Perkins has been pro knick for some time. Even hopped on knicksfantv
@@august6281 Perk even more
JJ comments on the DNA of the Knicks are on point. The roster is put together like pieces of a puzzle and the outcome is picture perfect.
Jj said said it all Brunson cohesion with the Knicks is like the best walnut chocolate chip brownie. Its beautiful!
JJ, you are dead-on. Jaylin is an exceptional guard, but the rest of the team around him are all playmakers, and they have great chemistry and grit.
Knicksfilmschool did a breakdown of Jalen's unusually high release point on his jumper. According to their figures he's got the release point of a 6'4" player when he's closer to 6 feet tall
Which video I would love to watch it
@@idowonderz It was on one of their podcasts. DJAce broke it down
Drop the link if you a real one. Time stamp might get you a little tuggy if you play your cards right
And Deuce’s is even higher
Jalen is a born leader! Go NYK!!
Brunson was showing his ability with the Mavericks and he’s showing it with the Knicks
Jalen Brunson is an anomaly. He's hard to describe. Because he doesn't have an off switch!
Obviously it’s hard to discredit previous Knick greats who did great thing for such a long time. But when Jaylan keeps doing things in his short stint that this greats never did then you’ve gotta start looking at it differently. If he gets out this round and does historical things in the eastern finals then this conversation gets really interesting. If he gets a championship this year so only Walt Frazier can raise his hand after that. Loving how all the legends are coming out to the garden to show support. My man Starks even traveling to see them, Marbury going nuts!!!
He is a scoring machine. That's his greatness.
Tonight should’ve shown you why we love Brunson so much. Doesn’t matter if he isn’t the best. He doesn’t give up. And that’s all we ask for from our superstar
They hate NY and the Knicks by association
Jalen Brunson is that dude period
Great show guys!!
Lowkey knicks three lookin like steph klay and dray. Less on the three ball for Brunson and more inbetween game but man three guys that play with heart, amazing chemistry and have other around them buying into roles to help win.
Richard always had a gripe with Knicks fans. As so as you ask Richard a Knicks question "Knick fans........." lol
The Knicks fans jump on Richard Jefferson cuz his takes have always been tainted with Knicks hate. We heard them for a decade so it’s only natural we take all his Knicks opinions being negative. He must hate his life right now when Knicks are relevant and his nets never mattered here even when they had Kyrie, KD, and Harden
He’s a Nets guy so it’s expected
Never trust a man without facial hair!
His Nets were more relevant than Knick. Went to finals back to back 02 and 03
Nd yet they were never ever bigger in NY than the kni ks were
@@peterlee6304How you gonna say “more relevant” when that was over 20 years ago? 😂😂😂
Watching the media begin to understand how good brunson is, is so fun. This is like reliving the signing 2 years ago in real time.
"hes good but he cant take us anywhere"
"hes really on fire lately"
" i dont understand how hes getting his shots off, this dude seems unstoppable"
"okay hes clutch af too?"
"maybe hes to guy? "
*Trades everything*
" yea hes our guy, take us to the promise land! "
JJ mentioned if the Knicks had players with different personalities and similar playing styles of Brunson and Hart. The Knicks did. They had RJ Barrett and imanuel quickly. Remember before they got traded, Hart was not getting that much playing time then with the injury to Julius Randle and OG , the Knicks became dependent on Hart and became the team they are now.
“What” lmaoooo rj the way he said that
Lmaoo facts I said the same shit
It must kill RJ to have to say nice things about the Knicks.
That’s that old NJ Nets in him, salty af 😭
Jalen is HIM🧡💙
"Easy on the eyes" RJ was like 💀
JJ dressed like a gigalo 😂
Jalen Brunson is a certified baller thats a fact
Ally really didn't talk for 10 minutes. I was actually interested in her opinion lol.
His opposite shoulder fade away is crazy, ive said it for the last 2 years i dont know how it doesnt get blocked.
JJ doing everything he can to dance around his backhanded compliment, SMH. Brunson is THAT DUDE
JB did the exact same thing for Mavs when Luka was out - just a born leader
Richard Jefferson has always been envious of the Knick mystique…he really should get over it!
channing just looks smart with glasses
"is he more easier in the eyes than James harden". 😆" What"
I love Chocolate chip walnut and Brunson. Damnit JJ has a point.
The Knicks are the embodiment of "greater than the sum of their parts".
Best counter game since Kobe
Zach Randolph had that same lefty shot making that made you think “How did he get that shot off” of course Jalen being much smaller, but the shot mechanics are definitely similar.
Jefferson is absolutely correct Brunson is the best player I’ve ever seen in a Knick uniform I’m 44
You don't think it's early to put him past big Pat??
Not better than Ewing !! Anunoby is the man
The Knicks fan base has been saying that, Rj is getting attack because he said neismith would stop brunson
There is an ancient Chinese basketball saying - there is ONLY one ball. You need good teammanship and communication. But it is not a done deal with the Pacers by any means.
NY_Nova_Knicks lets GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
How else can you explain how a 6-footer never gets his shot blocked? It's almost unfathomable how the Knicks Big 3, aka Knova Knicks, have seemingly hit all their clutch shots down the stretch of every playoff game.
Orange & Blue Skies !!!
Crazy part is the Knicks have been hurt all year. Missed Mitch for 50 games and Julius for 30+ after all star break. Bodega in the first round. Knicks got heart big time, but our depth isn’t the same. Next year is our year, hopefully we get back OG and Ihart. And Mo Wagner or Opi in free agency
He's like IT on the Celtics
the one thing i noticed about Jalen he always catches the defender off guard and its all about the timing..if you notice his foot work and herky jerky craftiness keeps the defender off balance giving him time to out-time the defender and get the shot off..i’m 5foot8 smallest player on the court and i use to out-time the defender by using footwork and gathering the ball and shooting it all in One Motion as i drove to the basket the defender will have a problem timing the shot to block it..Jalen plays in his own Time Bubble and you’re not in it.😮
Someone let JJ Reddick know that Jalen Bruson is NOT left-handed. He is right hand dominant (dribbles with right), ambidextrous and taught by his dad to shoot with his left hand knowing the huge advantage it can add. This makes him difficult to guard and harder to force him where you want.
The playes give him the props but not ghe national media
I keep saying.. he's a fundamental Iverson.
JB is good at basketball.
Do you guys remember what happened when the Raptor went all the way after beating the Sixers and I said watch out for the Knicks?
I agree with JR. Loved Carmelo with Sericuse & Denver, Not as much with the Knicks. Coming he & Dolan gutted the team so he could get & a reck when he left. It's Brunson All the way as the most important Knick in the time span that he mentioned 💯
Is craftiness another name for pushing off?
just say it, the knicks are a power rangers megazord with brunson at the helm.
Wish y’all would stop saying “Knicks fans” and start saying “some Knick fans”- a ton of Knicks fans would stand on ten toes to tell you he’s the best Knick in their lifetime
The majority of the fan base
Unless you’ve done a poll, say “some”- You don’t use folks disagreeing in your comment section as a measure. I’m on Knicks Twitter all day long and saying he’s the better than Melo isn’t new and usually a debate- definitely not something Knick fans disagree with in large numbers because not all Knicks fans even love Melo like that.
JB is without a doubt the best Knick since Patrick Ewing!
Melds together
As a Knick fan I love that we finally got our pg but I think we should allow him to put seasons together before we start talking his legacy as a Knick. It’s unfair to the players with longer tenures and made it past the second round.. Knicks haven’t made it out of the second round yet.
Fan base consensus is that he is a better Knick all time
@@drewp839 there are players who have made it further into the playoffs for longer periods of time. If I had to guess the consensus you’re referring to hasn’t seen any significant consistency with the Knicks in their lifetime. I have and I know enough to know a 2 1/2 year stretch without a championship is why media and other fanbases can’t stand us. Jefferson isn’t wrong fans will change their tune if he doesn’t deliver a chip at some point. It’s what they’re holding against the players from the 80’s to date. God forbid this man gets injured or something that changes his ability to produce at this level.
@@seanatkinson298 since Ewing, who? No one has made it past the second round, or won 2 series
@@drewp839 I’m responding to best Knick ever. But to answer your question even though he’s not my pick as best Knick Alan H20 Houston. Made it to the finals in ‘99 without Ewing playing. This is why I said if they were to young to remember I get it but this is 1 game into the second round and second year making it there. I love the kid but the recency bias is crazy.
@@seanatkinson298 Ewing, Clyde, and reed are the greatest Knicks ever
Did JJ forget to button his shirt?? 🤣
ESPN FIRST TAKE: Jalen Brunson did that shit again. Is he good?
Why is JJ shirt open😂
Stylistically he’s like Allen Iverson no one wants to say it
It’s only 3 pgs you can take over Brunson. Curry, Luka, SGA. That’s it!
“Easier on the eyes James Harden”
Dafuq?
Knicks fan base: “he’s better than melo”
R Jefferson: “Neismith can guard him”
Knicks fans: calls him dumb
R Jefferson: “Knicks fans come at me because I say he’s better than melo”
If by crafty you mean a foul baiter, sure Brunson is "crafty" his entire game is about flopping and jumping backwards into defenders, something which the NBA said they were going to stop calling, but they give it to him every time. He's everything people hate about the modern NBA.
i thought channing was nick cannon at first
JJ buddy, button up your shirt.
Jalen brunson is the best player since Patrick Ewing. Speaking as a knick fan.
The majority of the fan base believes this
Brunson did this last year and last year in the playoffs and that was a completely different team.. he also balled out with the mavs in the playoffs also.. lets not act like its perfect pieces around him…. Yea does that help and do i love the team the knicks have 100 percent but thats taking a shot and a back hand compliment in a way…
and cause the knicks play hard, its like ppl discredit them to being less talented, its so damn lame.. Donte is actually a really good player and a top 3, 3 point shooter this year… OG plays one of the most important positions at the wing and is elite defender and can create his own shot and knock down 3s… knicks have the best center duo and josh hart is like Rodman with a 3 point shot… they r actually good
Brunson is the best PG in the nba let’s be real.. u gotta look at everything… numbers but also what he is doing with what he has and everything that has happened to the knicks but forget just PG… Brunson is a top 5 nba player in general
This shit hurts Richard Jefferson🤣🤣🤣
JJ pls don't get canceled. Youre not Richard. Button your shirt
Refs gave them the first game against the pacers.
People be tripping when I say hes better than iverson. Which I realize is a taboo take, but yall will see
Big body Steve nash
They DONT have the perfect team, they've got a weak bench and no Robinson or Randel. They are the underdogs, that number 2 ranking overestimates them.
all because nba wants a great story for the knicks and officials doing there thing, boston will run through them easily though
Brunson reminds of a Derick Fisher on steroids.. They play similar but Brunson a little bigger and usage is a lot higher.
Harden is not the same in the playoffs
Never care harden to Brunson ever again… Brunson is so much more of a winner and dawg and is so clutch in the biggest moments and timely basket after timely basket… its night and day the difference and thats a huge insult to jalen Brunson
Brunson is also a way better defender then you think and a great team defender and he gets down and dirty and takes a ton of charges
Channing need to relax because Harden had no injuries to deal with and chose to dribble that much as for Jalen he is forced to or he would defer to Randle much more if that was a option
Brunson is a true pg. Harden is just a ball dominant player, same as Luka and LeBron. Harden, Luka and LeBron look to take the majority of the shots. Brunson to me doesn't play that way. He seems to move the ball around early in the shot clock. Harden is dribble dribble shoot. Luka is dribble dribble pass to reset dribble shoot. LeBron is dribble dribble orchestrate dribble drive shoot.
Did he just compare choking harden with captain clutch??
Idk about that Brunson over Melo take RJ😅 If we compare this season to the 2012-13 when Knicks lost to the Pacers in the semis it looks pretty even so far....
Brunson/28-2-6
Melo/28-6-2🤔
The only way you can possibly have this opinion is if you didn't actually watch the year you are referencing. Melo + Knicks in playoffs was an absolute struggle with probably some of the worst cohesion to exist in the playoffs in the last 20 years lol. This team would wreck them
@rammage4718 Obviously jm talking about the Player themselves, at no point was this discussion about "who was the best Knick on the best Knick team in RJs time period" 😵💫 lol its actually part of his Legacy that Prime Melo never had a complete, deep-run ready team once he left Denver.
Brunson is the best guard in the East.
Overall he’s 4th or 5th.
1. Luka
2. Shai
3. Ant
4 & 5 is between Curry and Brunson. I can understand people putting curry over brunson due to his career accolades… but if we’re strictly talking about this season, Brunson is the better guard
On carrying the ball, most of these players are getting away with Carrying the ball seem to be the norm?
Listen to RJ back pedal and find away to give Brunson his credit after Brunson absolutely embarrassed him for his shiity take.
Then some weirdo is calling Brunson a less appealing Harden is insane considering Jalen actually carries the team in the playoffs. Brunson is 5 inches shorter too and nobody can stay in front of him.
The more appropriate comparison whether anyone likes it or not is a shorter Luka.
Jalen = iverson 2.0 but more clutch
please stop with the harden comparison brunson show up come playoff time
JJ bro button up your shirt fabio! have some respect for the lady on the cast!🤦♂🤦♀
Their just a walnut chocolate chip brownie 🤷♂️
I’m never gonna say Jalen is better than Clyde! Clyde got 2 chips but everybody else including Melo yeah Jalen is the best player to ever wear a Knicks uniform 💪🏾💯
😂😂 he just hates the knicks
Brunson does a lot of flopping and he gets alot of calls.
Pacers are going to win this series
SMH
Nah its not easier on the eyes then harden, hes better then harden. Hes more efficient with less turnovers, hes clutch, he defends. All things james didnt do.
I'm a Knicks fan but isn't the high usage rate PG the type of player/offense Kobe warned wouldn't win a title? Knicks need a wing who can create his own shot. Channing and JJ's take are 100% spot on. Jalen really doesn't make the players around him better. They actual defer so he can be better by playing exceptional defense, offense rebounding, and unselfish play. They are built for Thibs.
Jalen is playing this way based on the players they have. He's really the only one that can create his own offense consistently. He wouldn't play like this if he had another great scoring wings. I've seen so many instances when he gives up the ball to his teammates when trapped and they just look lost. But he definitely passes the ball when he's double teamed. That's why he's still averaging double digit assists.
No, that style of play Kobe was referring to was James Harden’s run in houston. JB is the best shot creator on the team and he’s looking to find the edge between scoring and play-making, whichever the defense is giving up. Harden set out to win mvps and scoring titles it’s not the same.
Yes but remember that Harden became a shell of himself in the postseason as the guy. Too many no show appearances. Harden refuses to play defense and is/was very much a finesse player. I fail to see the similarities between them beyond the fact they’re PGs. Brunson can and will still dominate games without getting 15 free throws a game. He is also much more under control and dictates to the defense what they’re going to do as opposed to harden just flat out foul hunting. Idk. Maybe I’m a homer but I don’t see the similarities.
I said on another comment, IMO Brunson is more of a Luka style player than most want to admit except Luka is 6’7 and Brunson is 6’1 or 6’2.
Jalen has been dishing assists as well, he is a great playmaker and his gravity alone makes his teammates better because less attention is placed on them, Kobe was talking about James Harden who is a famous playoff choker and his Houston era style definitely doesn't translate to the playoffs as well as Jalen Brunson's, plus even if this did apply, Kobe was a great player and really passionate about basketball but he could also be wrong as well.
Terrible take, your not a Knicks fan because if you were you would know the ussage rate only went up that high once randle got hurt and the idea that these players are having career years and Brunson isn’t making them better is a joke
Luka is a more easy on the eyes James harden
What? Easy on the eyes more than Harden? No diddy🤦🏻♂️
Noone attacked richard jefferson for this this is lebron level making things up... no knicks fan ANYWHERE is taking melo over brunson right now😂😂
Anunoby is better !!
