As a Knicks fan here, Brunson is absolutely under 0 pressure, he literally "can do no wrong" in our eyes as fans, I am dead serious when I say I expect him to drop 30+ per game, playoff or not because he's that guy, the best guard in the East easily, however if we were to exit first round, no Knick fan is going to point their finger to Brunson, he's the biggest reason we finished 2nd in the regular season anyway.
I bet you're right. I live out in Seattle so there's no real team that I root for (I do kinda root for OKC a little bit). I mostly root for individual players I like. I was a Brunson fan since that Mavs run a couple years back, but I became a massive fan this year. I love watching him play. If the Knicks get knocked out early that's only because weird stuff happened in the standings/seedings this year. Whatever. Brunson is that guy, and next year is gonna be such a better year for the Knicks.
Absolutely he kept this team alive and elevated us. As a Knick fan we actually have a team to believe in again and JB made that possible starting with his play last post season
Not to mention the fact he’s stated he doesn’t feel pressure, either way. He understands he’s got skills & he’s confident in his abilities.
I'm regular nba fan.
Weather its heat or sixers. 2 Wins is the least win i expect them to have. 6 or 7 games series. I just trust their chemistry.
That's what I'm saying, win or lose we appreciate what he and the team have done this year
jalen took the knicks to the second round last yearr averaging 28/6/5 with an injured randle, an injured quickley and nobody could shoot the ball except for brunson. he has receipts in dallas to, he is an 1A in the playoffs
I like Greeney but that was just dumb..
Didnt Jalen go to conference finals, I know he wasnt the guy. But Luka missed like 2 games in first round which brunson was amazing in... so to say jalen hasnt gone deep in the playoffs is a bit misleading
Donte got a ring with bucks, OG with raps, in terms of pressure, I think our guys got enough experience and leadership going into the playoffs and through the first round
Jalen was huge in the first round while Luka was out too, pretty sure he dropped 40 one game against the jazz
Exactly. Mike Greenberg, on the other hand…
@@michaelkim7538 he's a factory of bad takes
@@XenarthrA28 THIS right here.
Jalen has been to the WCF and got the Knicks to the second round while Randle struggled. Do these "analysts" watch basketball?
Exactly
The Knicks haven't been to a ECF
1:28 KD won’t be in a world where Harden AND Kyrie are playing after the first round. Literally only 1 of those two can make the 2nd round lol
Lol good catch
Just caught that too
the kd hate from ESPN is crazy
Putting Pressure on Doc but not Dame and Giannis is crazy
Greeny saying "what is he, 6'1?" is such a casual take it's insane. Brunson has been overlooked in this exact way for his whole career and for a supposed analyst on ESPN to say this is absurd. Brunson has literally had a run to the conference finals where he had to step in for an injured Luka and last year lost to the team that made the finals. He's more than capable of carrying this team deep, especially with no RJ Barrett or Julius Randle actively working against him
Julius doesn't work against him. Him and Jalen were one of the top 5 scoring duos in the NBA before the injury.
Imagine telling someone 3 years ago that Jalen Brunson is under more pressure than Luca doncic to lead a team to victory all while not even having another all star on said team 😂, oh and everyone has been calling the Mavs the favorites against the clippers btw but somehow also have less pressure to win 🧐
because luka kills teams under pressure...he plays best on pressure. Same as kawhi those players are just anomaly.that's why no one talk about their creditability.
Brunson “a guy who has no postseason history of significance.” He dropped 41 points on the Jazz to help the Mavs advance to the Conference Finals. Mike Greenberg, on the other hand…
Greeny…Brunson got to the wcf with Dallas and got the Knicks to the second round last year with a hobbled Randle and horrible shooting. This year he’s got at least two guys that can step up and make baskets.
I actually think Tatum is the most pressured here. His team has been consistently good and they always make it to the playoffs but always lose in crucial times.
Either Tatum or his coach.
I feel like Brunson under a different kind of pressure than the others. Brunson under pressure to produce; however, if he doesn't accomplish the mission, nobody is going to be looking at him like he failed. People still will be impressed by the player he's become and the season he has had. In contrast, all the others on the list will be looked at as failures if they don't get it done.
I totally agree. Julius Randle is out. Everyone expects the Knicks to try to make big moves this off-season. Nobody is gonna complain if the Knicks get knocked out by the 76ers, because in some ways, the Knicks season is already a success. And Brunson's individual season is a HUGE success. People are rightfully talking about him as a top-5 MVP candidate--no one was predicting that pre-season.
@@SarrisDirk good point about the off season. Yeah, Knicks are still in team in the making - even tho they playing great rn.
The Mainstream Media's disrespect to the Knicks is laughable at this point. Green boy sounded so pathetic talking about JB. FOH ESPN
Jalen under pressure, hell no...they are injured...if Randall was there, then they would be under pressure. They could lose to the Sixers and still look prosperous into the future
If he's not under pressure, that's cool. Just don't call him a superstar.
Brunson took the mavericks to the WC Finals two season ago. He has a deep run experience
The Bud list is better🥱
How do we know they'll play Philly?
Brunson they said he was too small to lead the Knicks
Nets has done nothing for kd, lol😅, it's the other way around it's KD that made Nets relevant, and this organization did nothing , did not support kyrie, they mistreated him, he was the only reason they got kd
asking if kyrie will show up in the playoffs is a joke by now.
They act like Kyrie isn’t already a champion. I don’t care what people say.. Cleveland is not winning that championship without Kyrie. He doesn’t need to prove anything.
its Kd but if they do win the chip i hope people start having top 12 convos quick.
I agree
They ain't winning shi
KD a winner he just not built to be champ
If he wins a chip on top of beinf FMVP, he will already be Top 10
If KD wins another chip before retiring he is top 10
Everyone is agreeing with each other without agreeing with each other, lol
There is absolutely no pressure on Jalen Brunson he exceeded all expectations getting us to a 2nd seed and 50 wins….. of course make that run to the chip but i believe all Knicks fans will sleep good if we just make it to the conference finals since our other star out… no pressure at all
the lady came in and crushed all them 😂
She came in an look dumb
How is jalen brunson on the most pressure 😂. Donovan mitchell cavs team and luka would be ahead of him on the list.
Replace Brunson with Luka and it's a pretty decent list. Embiid should be on it too
Bcoz kawhi be injured so much casuals seems to forget that he is one of the greatest playoff performers of all time. Don’t be surprise when he go nuclear again
I don’t think the Bucks got worse under Doc. They’re better defensively, and have had a much harder schedule compared to the first half of the year. Still pressure on him though
@@AnthonyMercado-1988 I don’t think it’s fair to judge based on the record, because of that strength of schedule difference. The defense was terrible under Griffin like you said, and no one knew what they were doing. They were very unorganized, and they would have had no chance in the playoffs without a defense. The offense dropped a bit under Doc, but the defense improved enough to make them a better overall team. They at least don’t look completely lost anymore.
What about kawhi? Ive heard a lot about how playoff kawhi is best in the league 'when healthy'. Lets see if hes held accountable this season when luka and kyrie take care of business
right?
Take care of business?💀 why do the mavs think they stand a chance against us because of some “since all star break” panels and y’all played mostly below .500 teams for this run & when y’all played legit contenders teams y’all LOST horribly😂 clippers in 6. Were deeper, shoot better, defend better and we have several players who can win us a game💀 y’all couldnt guard Stephen A. Smith if he was handicapped💀
@snowakira1412 the mavs will take care of business in 6 games because luka is the second best in the world and now he has an elite running mate
How does Kawhi always get easy passes lol. He’s clearly right there w KD 😂
How is it on kd if they make it further when kd has them on his back when they was together…
I agree with Boston & Milwaukee being on the list.KD isn’t on my list of most pressure at all. Maybe the most scrutiny list..Neither are the Clippers. Why should they be? Maybe two years ago, they’re on his list cause of expectations that HE has for them.
James Harden vs James Harden
Should be a great series 😂
I'm sorry but why is Brunson and the Knicks pressured to make a deep run , we literally lost an All NBA player
What about Dame's or Curry's height? Why is the height thing only brought up with Brunson?
“No on cares bout the clippers” take that man job and never let him be seen again. See y’all in the chip.
Pressure ESPN's favorite buzzword.
Leveler is the only nba analyst from espn who have basketball knowledge. These other guys are just fans with an agenda against certain teams.
As a knicks fan, Brunson has no pressure on him at all. My brothers have you forgoten where we were a few years ago. We are the two seed in the East. JB is the reason. Lets sit back and enjoy the ride, he has no pressure at all but yet I think he'll still deliver!
I dont think brunson should be under much pressure. I think they've exceeded expectations this year, especially with the injuries. They should just go have fun, play hard and see how far they go. Been a cool story this year
Greeny is tripping... He's still using JB's size as an argument against him.
back again with the jalen brunson slander
Greeny is definitely bugging, JB took Dallas to the WCF with a less competent roster with Luka out. Win or lose however us Knick fans will always be grateful for JB and the teams effort this year.
is dis guy stupid?? "Brunson isnt the player that has a history of taking teams to deep playoff runs" Brunson averaged 28/5/4 on 47/32/91 splits to lead them to the semi finals 😭 while Julius Randle (the supposed #1 for NY last year) was playing TERRIBLY avging 16/3/8 on 37/26/71 splits. plus hes been to the conference finals and played great in that year while being a second option. this guy has absolutely no ball knowledge fr or either hes a Brunson hater.
Zero. I have zero expectations from the Clippers. Aside from Kawhi being injury prone, the team is not in the least bit trustworthy.
The Clippers are the 4 seed and still not held to any expectations 😂. People gave up on them.
It’s going to be a lakers vs Miami rematch
To the NBA yes Jalen Brunson is under lots of pressure. Although , if they Pass on to the second round then they are extremely Dangerous to play.
Why would Brunson be under pressure? Yes them being at a #2 means nothing when the distance from 2️⃣ and 8️⃣ is like three games.
Hell yeah
How does PG Harden and Kawhi gets a pass ....
Kawhi gets a pass because of rings (plural). I think Harden and PG get a "pass" cuz everyone already gave up on em lol
@@SarrisDirklol
@@SarrisDirkgive up on PG for what? He literally carried the clippers in that WCF 😂
What a pro wants what a pro neeeds 🎶 🕺
Under so much pressure, I heard Jalen Brunson's basketballs are feeling inflated! 😄
Jayson Tatum without a close 2nd. He’s already considered trash and if he doesn’t win it this year the slander will be astronomical
Brunson went to a Western Conference Finals as a number 2 option...
Greeny said he can’t imagine the Knicks winning any games when Brunson has a bad game lol. Well he was wrong on that take 😂
Greenery should be fired on his comments on Brunson.
It's laughable that Brunson is on this most pressure list, a #2 seed that most of the folks at espn, including Greeny, don't think that this team is the most talented and then listening to Greeny explain his logic & it's clear he has no idea of what type of player Brunson is
Cut off the video when y’all started talking about the Wolves 😢
Why is there pressure on Kyrie?? He’s already a champion. He doesn’t need to prove anything.
Andraya carter… never seen her before… but she was bang on with every take… greeny just makes some really stupid arguments and just never changes his mind
Kd, nobody really expects knicks to win it all. Kd trying to improve his legacy while Brunson is creating his.
Where is JJ Reddick when you need him
Adrian Griffin is laughing
That woman come late and they have to repeat the whole thing for her, and to be honest she is rough and don't let people talk.
Doc ain't got pressure, he signed a 4 year/40mil!
Greeny said Brunson has no post season history? Really? He forgot he helped lead that Mavs team to the WCF?
To me what matters for the players is performing and translating to the playoffs, winning and losing is more of a team thing, you can’t control your teammates on the floor. Brunson has translated in the postseason the last two times he was there.
If there is no pressure on Brunson, that's fine...nobody in this comment section should ever call him a superstar!
Let go New York Nicks we taking it this year alot of people going to feel stupid
Legler shutting down the other , uh, weak guy, was my favorite part of this video clip, and im not a bot. Sorry Greedy (thats his nickname right? ) but the Breen (same thing) Team iz no good this year, why wouldnt an established story ( like Curry's Warriors) be a bigger statement than an undersized guard who has basically been a begels version of Isaiah Thomas 8 years ago. Dont make me say it.
Another brunson doubter
Idk who this girl is but she needs to take over for Greeny lol
No pressure for brunson. Nobody is taking the knicks
Gotta be Embiid no? One of my favourite players, but if he ain't making at least the ECF he is getting cooked by not only the media, but the whole "fans" as well. Imagine a NBA finals with Jokic and Embiid, that would be my dream scenario.
Sixers are the 7th seed, be serious
@@kaysheye7784 you definitely ain't seeing the Embiid slender
who is she?
Mvp? No pressure?
Thunder vs knicks in the finals
Jalen brunson
Knicks going to NBA finals
😂😅
No they’re not
Be nice if that was the case, but without Randle...that's an extraaa long shot. (And I'm from NY)
@@mattk720randle makes the knicks worse and that’s a fact.
Sike
Lakers should tank for 8th seed avoid nuggets at all costs
😺
so "Greeny" just tried to son the girl (dont know her(hopefully) 's name) who sonned HIM! (sorry dont know her name) for like getting on set too quick like her shirt wasnt tucked in right, yeah she scrambled in there cuz shes a "pro , Knick ugh!"
THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE BUCKS, GIANNIS
Heat about to lose on purpose just to sweep the 1st seed again lol
Greeny is so bad at his job
Why is Brunson under pressure? Y'all don't give him no respect. The way y'all talk about that Fraud MVP Shai, he should be under the most pressure
Warriors Knicks finals.
Warriors win again.
I can’t wait for the bucks to be knocked off in the first round really only because I need that RDC Video 😂
Greeny. Is just Straight up unwatchable. Pathetic
Clippers getting bounced in the first round
There is no pressure for Brunson lol NONE.
I think my Cavs should be in that 5 spot. If we don’t look good in the playoffs, we gotta blow it up. Trade Mobley or Allen and trade Garland or Mitchell.
Nah they shouldn't, still very young & needs time to get used to playoffs but need to start playing better there
@@Royale0055he tripping this ain’t 2k
2nd seed ain’t got no pressure ?
Just because Tim doesn’t think the Suns are good , that means no pressure for KEVIN DURANT ?
anything short of 12-3 in the East and winning the NBA championship is a failure for boston imo
If Embiid healthy NY going home early they don’t do NBA championships😂
JB more pressure than Luka & Kyrie? Than Dame? Greeny mentioned the Mavs in the Western conference finals at the end there, a team he has those expectations for; their two stars don't have more pressure than Brunson?
I'm sorry but Doc don' give af about anything. Dude's getting paid and he obviously has some dirt on higher uppers in the Bucks organization to be able to get the head coaching job that easily.
