It's so funny cause EVERYBODY was roasting the Knicks for spending so much money to get him. people were saying that might had a good playoff run on dallas but he's a mid player lol and Knicks are just on a long run looking for a good PG. Turns out he was the guy. Worth EVERY penny
That spinoff and fake is one of the best moves I’ve ever seen that I tried adding it to my bag Bruson is underrated and if you like his game you definitely appreciate the fundamentals of ball
Reminds me of a rich man's Andre Miller with the craftiness. Smart, unorthodox but highly skiled.skilled. Andre was fun to watch. He also would just walk weaker pgs in the post and use his footwork to score or make a play.
He is the best point guard the Knicks have ever had. What I love about Brunson is he looks deceiving. Doesn’t look athletic, he isn’t tall for a point guard, looks slow and not agile. It seems like he is overlooked by his opponents, which is why he has been so successful, and even if they begin to focus on him, it is too late. He is always steps ahead of everyone. He should’ve been selected to the All Star game but again the league underestimates him. Not me and the Knicks fans. He is our All Star for sure!
@@Jeromeots yea and they gave up dorian finney smith to get kyrie, could have brunson, luka, and finney. Also kyrie will ask for a trade if you dont make the finals.
Watched most of the Knicks games this year and he is the biggest difference maker they have had in a loooooong time. He is so solid and is by far the MVP of the Knicks, they would be well below 500 if they did not have him. Everything in this video is on point.
Ive watched every Knick game this season and you are 100% correct. In fact ive watched nearly ever Knick game for the last 20 years and Brunson is this teams engine. He has made the rest of the players around him better and no longer are the Knicks an easy win for opponents.
Defender was playing for a JB left drive. JB stood back up to maybe drive right, then crossed back over left for a possible left drive again. JB read his defender's body position and crumpling ankles to pull up for a midrange J instead.
Looking forward with great relish to see Brunson versus Butler in round 2! They are not the same but both tenacious competitors. Cant wait to see them head to head.
As a Knicks fan I’ve been over the moon with Brunson since game 1 and it’s only gotten better. I’ve watched every game I could so hear me out, Brunson is a top 5 point guard in this league! He’s incredibly skilled, smartest guy on the court, puts his body on the line, is clutch, and holds his own on defense. Top 5 for sure even though it’s a loaded position
isn't that a travel at 2:07? He steps back and his pivot foot is his left foot, but he steps through as if his right foot is the pivot. either way Brunson is great to learn from
@Kooligan what?? Bruh trust me I love Randle but I do not trust him with the ball for more than 4 seconds. The reason he's better this year is for that same reason. Fast decisions when he gets the rock is when he is at his best but if he starts dribbling due to double teams it's usually a turnover.
They wanted to low ball him. They had the chance to extend him. He said if Mavs offered somewhere 4yrs/60M+, he would've taken it because he liked it there in Dallas.
He's going to go down as one of the best signings by the Knicks... Which, considering all their crappy signings isn't saying much but he's going to get better and better which is exciting
@Limeian no they wanted more then just Barrett they wanted grimes obi and like 3 or 4 picks they wanted to gut da Knicks like they did when Knicks got Carmelo
@@knicknack4511 Cuban is generally a very smart guy, but he and his GMs have made very questionable contract decisions over the past 20+ years. Instead of paying Steve Nash a fair (but not too sizable) contract, he ended up overpaying a slew of overpaid stiff centers during Dirk's. He wasted Dirk's post championship seasons, even though Dirk took a huge pay cut to allow more salary cap flexibility. The one center he should have signed to a big contract (Tyson Chandler, who helped win the 2011 championship), he decided to let go for nothing in free agency. He decided not to offer JB a very reasonable $55 million rookie extension that JB was eager to sign for unknown reasons.
@@memeguy0076 not sure about that…there current roster didn’t really need Kyrie but they traded for him anyways. I can see them viewing Kyrie as an upgrade making a move. They likely don’t give up Finley-Smith and draft capital but it’s not impossible to see The Mavs trading JB for Kyrie and THJ.
@@knicknack4511 they needed Kyrie, but they also needed defense. The reason they needed Kyrie was because they didn't have good offense anytime Luka went to the bench.
I see a lot of veteran D Rose’s game in him, though he seems to be a little more of an efficient scorer than Rose has been in recent years, which is great cause now D Rose won’t have to be our best player should Randle collapse in the playoffs again.
Ditto these comments. And big fan. At 2:08 he fooled ref - switched pivot foot. I think he sold it cuz he did it so slick & with elite footwork. In real time probably looked legit. That's a skill too. Jus like how elite defenders may foul but sell it as clean with excellent positioning.
If you love the way Brunson plays, do yourself a favor and go back and watch some of those Villanova games. The best basketball played in this century. Brunson dad obviously coached him being a former player but Jay Wright created sooooo many great players and the one thing you’ll notice beside the toughness is the basketball IQ. Knowing not to take a bad shot and waste a possession, just pass it. Playing proper defense and working as a unit. The year Nova blew out Michigan might have been the best together team in college basketball history.
as a mavs fan i hate how we let him go so easily. efficient, has a deep bag, high iq, and a good dude in the media. couldve been lukas long time partner
He's been incredible - far better than I thought. Unfortunately for the Knicks, he's still not Giannis, Embiid, or Tatum. As brilliant as Brunson has been, the Knicks are held back by Randle being an all star and not much more than that. Knicks need to get Brunson a bigger star to compliment him. As good as Jrue has been, you exchange him with Brunson and I think the Bucks are just as good, trading away a bit of defense for offense.
right now his stock his higher than Kyrie. I think most people who watch NBA would take Brunson over Kyrie. he's on the cusp of being a superstar but i don't think he can quite get there. He's at Paul George level, between star and superstar.
I wanted Mavs to get resign because he just keeps getting better every season it’s obvious he puts in the work. Unfortunately it seems like his mind was already set on NY
It's so funny cause EVERYBODY was roasting the Knicks for spending so much money to get him. people were saying that might had a good playoff run on dallas but he's a mid player lol and Knicks are just on a long run looking for a good PG. Turns out he was the guy. Worth EVERY penny
I was one of those people. I can admit when I was wrong! Brunson is star in this league for sure.
He’s proving his worth. Knicks looking real solid .
More than good should've been an all star
People don’t know ball.
Stephen A smith was salty about bronson because he wanted dm. But bronson has delivered.
Watching him play is amazing his footwork in the midrange is just magical, and his stop-and-go movements are next to none.
The luka effect
You forgot to mention he is CLUTCH. He makes all the difference in close games and does not shy away from big moments
That spinoff and fake is one of the best moves I’ve ever seen that I tried adding it to my bag Bruson is underrated and if you like his game you definitely appreciate the fundamentals of ball
I loved watching Brunson help take down the Suns in 2022! Interviews very well too.
And BTW, I am the "dad" you mentioned. He's classic!
@@mueshow aàà@1
"We just got to keep fighting." - Jalen Brunson. 💙🧡
I’m a dad and I told my son I loved this guy. You’re exactly right.
Such a good player, super high iq and crafty, Ive been hoping Knicks can get a pg like this for long time.
i knew what he could do with the midrange and floater but his threes have been surprisingly lethal this season
Got such a unique style of basketball, gotta be hell for defenders cuz his dribble style leaves no cues to where he’s going
I feel like D Rose being in his corner is helping as well
From day 1 In the NBA I knew he had what it took to be THAT GUY now he's in the spotlight in NY making the most of it
Left handed guard already has a leg up on most guards. He also know how to control the tone of every possession.
Reminds me of a rich man's Andre Miller with the craftiness. Smart, unorthodox but highly skiled.skilled. Andre was fun to watch. He also would just walk weaker pgs in the post and use his footwork to score or make a play.

He's all skill. Skill don't lie.
How you gonna do clyde like that 😔
Dude he has been amazing this season I hope they go deep in the playoffs
how deep?
@@williamblake7386 50 years later we shock the world
Jalen Brunson best player on the Knicks
Also, not afraid to take a charge.
JB finally getting recognition from someone who’s not a Villanova fan
4 years 55 million and Mavericks said no. Somebody needs to get fired
They got kyrie don’t think they loosing sleep
@@Jeromeots give it a couple of months
@@Jeromeots yea and they gave up dorian finney smith to get kyrie, could have brunson, luka, and finney. Also kyrie will ask for a trade if you dont make the finals.
@@Jeromeots They lost a lot since Brunson too. Porzingis, Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, among others.
@@Jeromeots cavs, celtics and nets fans have got something to tell ya
Finally we get a stabilizer who can run the offense 🙌 💪
His foot work is A1
Him and Harden not getting selected for the All Star game was crazy
My favorite player, he's tuff!

Ankles disintegrated 2:14. I was trying to figure out how he got him so badly but theres no explanation. Dude just crumbled lmao
Defender was playing for a JB left drive. JB stood back up to maybe drive right, then crossed back over left for a possible left drive again.
JB read his defender's body position and crumpling ankles to pull up for a midrange J instead.
He'll be an all star next season.
Brunsons turning into a top 10 pg in the league rn

I can name 10 pgs better than him: Steph, dame, luka, ja, lamelo, trae young, garland, kyrie, cp3, harden
Brunson is better than Lamelo Trae and Harden right now
Don’t ever say trae young again
@@pink_kid8861 JB is better than Garaland, Lamelo, Young, Harden and Cp3 right now. And Luka is not a PG he’s a ball handler not a pg.
@@pink_kid8861 trae lamelo cp3 and garland he is better than I’ll give you everyone else tho
Brunson might be the most efficient under 6'1 player of all time
Helps that D rose is what he practices against and learns from.
Impeccable foot work.
But but but the Knicks overpaid for him 😂😂😂
Great video! 💯
isn't that a travel at 2:07? He steps back and his pivot foot is his left foot, but he steps through as if his right foot is the pivot. either way Brunson is great to learn from
Thanks for giving Brunson the credit he deserves
He plays like mini James Harden
Except that he plays off ball at times, allows his teammates to create plays as well, and actually tries on defense
@@deezosaintloyal helps to have randle and Barrett who can also handle the ball
James Harden is good, but he isn’t this crafty.
@Kooligan what?? Bruh trust me I love Randle but I do not trust him with the ball for more than 4 seconds. The reason he's better this year is for that same reason.
Fast decisions when he gets the rock is when he is at his best but if he starts dribbling due to double teams it's usually a turnover.
@@wilmaso He’s still able to beat defenders off the dribble consistently. He’s a guaranteed 14 points a night regardless of tos
Really makes you wonder why the Mav's got rid of him... Especially considering they picked up Kyrie afterwards
He wanted to leave and sign with the Knicks, they weren’t going to keep him.
They wanted to low ball him. They had the chance to extend him. He said if Mavs offered somewhere 4yrs/60M+, he would've taken it because he liked it there in Dallas.
Its hard to tell how good a player actually is when Luka has the ball for 70% of the game
This was steal for the knicks
He is eye candy to watch :)
He's going to go down as one of the best signings by the Knicks... Which, considering all their crappy signings isn't saying much but he's going to get better and better which is exciting
great job
Ahhhh left handed players are slept on! This guy is different different though🔥🔥🔥
Jb a beast hope he stays healthy
Great Video
Love it cause I told everybody that Brunson was a better fit than Spider we didn't need Spider
We could have both tho I would’ve traded barrett in a heartbeat for Spida
@Limeian no they wanted more then just Barrett they wanted grimes obi and like 3 or 4 picks they wanted to gut da Knicks like they did when Knicks got Carmelo
He moves like D Rose ❤️
Imagine if the Mavs had resigned him? There’s a pretty good chance he’d be on The Nets right now!
If Mavs had resigned him, they wouldn't be looking for Kyrie

short!!! liability in playoff

Barrett needs to follow Jalen around with pen and paper and try to imitate everything that guy does. Everything Jalen does well is what RJ lacks.
I’m big of fundamental❗️
Kyler Murray in the NBA 🤣🤣
This guy is an prop bet ATM. My favorite player. Keep doubting him please 🙏
Best Knick point guard since Frazier. Better than Michael Ray Richardson who was damn good.
Craftiness and high iq take you further and last longer than speed and athleticism. Brunson was a great pickup.👍🏽
he’s 6 1 on a good day
looking like a short Hakeem out there...

Reminds me of a young Bob Cousy!
Comedian
When u say hes not athletic you are so wrong.
reminds me of prime Tony Parker
Can’t stand the Knicks but he’s a top 10 guard in the game dude is legit
Best Free Agency signing in ALL of the NBA in the last some odd years! My Knicks have a real PG! #fireadamsilver
After YEARS of mediocre scrubby ass PGs this dad and lifelong Knicks fan is ecstatic watching Brunson run the show.
JB got robbed from being a All-Star!!
as a mavs fan i hate how we let him go so easily. efficient, has a deep bag, high iq, and a good dude in the media. couldve been lukas long time partner
Luka drives away other ball handlers because the offense is so luka-centric. Kyrie might leave in the off-season 🤷♂️
Laugh out loud😃 I’m a dad and yes he’s my favorite player.
Yup he's better than new balance

Mavericks messed up big time last year when they could have resigned him for cheap
It’s mind boggling.Why would they let him go?Couldnt they just resign him then trade him?
Stupid mistake this one hurts
He wouldn't be as good on the Mavericks Luka is a ball hog
He's actually 6 foot 1 inches
6-1 but still plays bigger
Left hand/south paw player are harder to defend since a high percentage of defenders defend righties... Look at the manu ginibli and James harden
Smaller Derozan
I wanted Mavs to get resign because he just keeps getting better every season it’s obvious he puts in the work. Unfortunately it seems like his mind was already set on NY
I agree Dallas shouldn't have traded him. He is better than Kyrie for Dallas.

am i trippin or was that first clip not a really bad travel
