Walt Frazier once said “The regular season is where you Make Your Name, the playoffs Is where you Gain Your Fame” Brunson is on that path.
lol I definitely heard him say this a few times
The Stevenson legend is not new to this 🙏🏽. Mr IHSA been doing this
he also said "shaking and baking along the baseline"
and "stopping and popping"
I'm rooting for Jalen way over here in California cuz he's fun to watch. Straight baller
TY 🧡💙🫡
💙🧡💙🧡💙
you are NOT a casual
We love you from New York 🙏🙌🏻
Factz💯
I love this Knicks team for one reason and one reason only. They play hard even when they lose. They don’t quit and they fight to the last man. 🧡💙
That's all real New York Knicks fans expect from their team 🏋️🧰🔨
Brunson can lead whatever team he has to a championship, he has the heart and will of a giant.
Just not the knicks 😆
You lying
Kyrie still better
@@sharifnasser7635😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@sharifnasser7635yea kyrie gotta bounce back from that 9 points and stop letting Luka make him stand around.
Jalen brunson is like Allen iverson skills with Chauncey billups leadership.
He's been a champion at every level basketball, High School, Mr Illinois basketball. Took USA u-18 to a gold medal.
College 2 time national champion with Villanova.
Dragged mavs with no Luka to the WCF, then now has turned the knicks into a team that are 1 game away from the same feat.
He'll be a champion at the professional level too, maybe not this year but definitely in his career. 💯 🏀 👑
W no Luka?
Brunson is good, but he isn't on AI's level of skill
@@GoatReactz Doncic was hurt and Brunson took over -- and Mavs still decided he wasn't worth the money
@@shmuvvyHe’s more efficient than A.I but he’s not there yet too early in his career
Shoutout to big Perk for always riding w the Knicks
Told yah brunson is the king of new York. Hope they make it because they deserve it .
Let's go New York 🔥
That’s my PG🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Brunson is different
ESPN a few months ago questioned if he can be a 1A , said he was too small. Jalen is an absolute dawgggg.
24 hours ago the Knicks were supposedly cooked and now they might win the NBA championship
they will lose to the celtics
Idk about the championship but for some reason they hard to go away , they keep coming back … this is a team that’s supposed to be out of this series long ago , how do they keep coming back tho….they have most of their key players injured, bogdanavich, anunoby , randall and mitchell robinson all of them with asterisks and the knicks keep coming back..maybe that’s the type of resiliency needed to win the chip who knows the heat reached the finals with butler so why can’t brunson do that as well
@@ssanj17 idk Celtics have faced no competition with Butler and Mitchell both being out. Brunson is better than anyone on the Celtics
@@Ballin-97 sure brunson is the best player , but not by a big margin and from 2-6 celtics got the best players so having the best player in this series means nothing
@@ssanj17 having the best player in the series always means something. No one expected the Celtics to go down 3-0 to the 8th seed play-in Heat last year and lose the ECF, but Butler was the best player
I said NYK in 6 and I said what I said 💯
And still stand by that!!
Last time knicks went to the finals they beat the Celtics in the ECF 1973 history just might repeat it’s self 🗽🗽
Im convinced people that flip burgers are more smart then ESPN journalist
Well of course. You think we live in a meritocracy? 😂
I'm convinced that people who write "more smart then" are in no position to comment on an ESPN journalist's intelligence.
@@marksimmons5839my thoughts exactly 😂😂
ESPN analysts are mostly just entertainers. Whoever brings in the highest ratings. Making outlandish comments helps with that. Most of them just ride the current narrative and do not know what they are talking about most of the time.
smarter* lmfao
Brunson got a whole bag! Very entertaining!
Why do yall keep asking this question about brunson!? Nobody asking this same question about joel embiid constantly? The answer is yes he can. He already proved this all year and through the playoffs.
Perks is giving great insights!❤❤
I like Jalen… he’s got that dawg in em
People don't realize that Jalen Brunson is the only player left that was on the knick starting unit at the beginning of the season this squad he is playing in the playoffs with are all from the Knick bench unit so this dude is carrying this team to 2nd place plus a NBA eastern conference finals & he's not in the MVP or even 2nd place in the voting is beyond me..😮
I can still hear people saying “ ohh we need a superstar like ja” like bruh ja didn’t even reach this far
I for one was mad when the Mavs let him go and wanted him there, but this was the better move for him. NY is his team and he has full control. Almost no one could have predicted this when they signed him. People were saying he is not a max player, etc. What he has is top of the line tenacity, calmness and ability to perform in the playoffs. No one knows if he could get a Championship yet, Boston & Denver are more proven but Brunson is knocking on the door for sure.
He is a 2 time ncaa champion being the best player and he will be a champion in the nba. Keep surrounding him with gritty tough minded players
When brunson has a bad game on one leg its indianas great defense ...when Haliburton has a bad game its haliburton fault and not the knicks defense...the media hates rhe knicks
Yes if they can run it back with a healthy roster
Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 knicks going to the finals
Take it one game at a time smh Knicks fans will never learn
They not gonna make it past the Celtics
@@julianreed8479 They said that about the 76ers too
@@lexluger2jonnyblazestop acting like you know Knick fans I never saw you a day in my life 😂
Go to the East Finals and get REKT by Boston, just like Orlando and Cleveland fighting for a spot to get REKT
Love seeing UD on here. If he wants to do this, he'd be great
Tbh brunson built different
The NY Knicks will win at leat two championships with Brunson in the next 5 or 6 years, if they make the right trade next summer.
They should package Randle, Robinson and draft picks to get that 30-45 playoffs points solid and skilled second option.
Winning this year would be a bonus.
If Knicks were full strength Brunson would have the Knicks as the best team in the nba
He's been that guy on championship teams before his elite season.
Love the Knicks AND Big Perk!
Jalen Raw af
He can lead a team to championship but he needs the right supporting cast.
Udonis is excellent on TV, his takes are spot on
BIG PERKKKKKKK!!!!
SUPERSTAR
That’s crazy it’s not a big man’s game anymore !!! What a shift in just two years from the way the game was heading
Stephen A is just ecstatic right now, what a thing if the Knicks actually win the chip. He and Spike Lee would create some of the best content and memes during the parade and stuff 😂
No one cares. SAS is a fraud. Wake up. UD is a far better analyst.
Smith is a tool
Stephen a is a fraud and Knicks fans don’t claim his fake fandom. He only convince non Knicks fans that aren’t tuned in with all that yelling and carrying on.
Stephen A is the fakest Knicks fan in town he still thought we had quentin grimes loo
Smith is a toad
Thibs is an absolute genius. Had his team playing more up tempo and forcing the pacers to play Knicks basketball. There were about a million 4 second shot clocks for the pacers in that game
Go New York! Go New York ! Go!
Parade on 5th let’s goooooo
Oh how i wished he was here along for this ride. Can we sign him for next year ayer coach so he can make a final push for a ring. What can it cost
UD & Perk should be a fun analyst duo. They BATTLED! In the 2010s!
Both solid bigs in their careers.
I hope he does🏀
In what world?
@@Jayoplantern A healthy Knicks squad world, if not this year next year Finals bound.
Dudes game is so much like Steve Nash it's crazy
It’s absolutely not lmao
Jalen is hardcore
"Center of all NBA Wisdom" 🤣
Brunson not on Olympics is crazy
Team USA picking Halliburton over Brunson is looking pretty foolish at the moment also
YES!!!
James Jones said he ain't going back and forth with you, Austin! "You got it"😂
I thought Perk was asleep at the end of that segment zzz😂
And this is a great example of how sports media has destroyed sports enjoyment. Step 1: Sports media arrives late to the party by FINALLY paying attention to players other than the 1 or 2 they usually obsess over.
Step 2: Overcompensate for being late by creating new and unrealistic expectations for the player they've been ignoring.
Step 3: destroy the player's reputation for not living up to the media's lazy & unrealistic expectations.
I really feel bad for people who listen to SAS and Kendrick Perkins & actually think they are knowledgeable NBA voices.
Jalen brunson is a left handed Stephen curry
slow down homie
Tripping
But in other news remember when they picked Haliburton to start over Brunson in the All star game and said Haliburton was better? 😂 Nothing like a head to head matchup to settle the score.🤣
Brunson more of a leader than curry . Brunson is the truth curry never touched the playoffs wen klay wasnt klay. He missed the playoffs twice in the last 4 years
@@christylamoure7996 stop saying stupid things
its a really bad look
Perkins is 100% right, Brunson can lead you to title but Knicks aren't championship team currently with all their injuries
The disrespect he gets is unreal! This is the MVP!
The only American in the top 5 of MVP voting, and he is not on Team USA. What an embarrassment honestly. Somebody get Becky Hammon on here to say he not a 1A again.
No Austin YOU weren’t giving Hartenstein credit
0:01 where’s the all time leading scorer at??? I don’t see his name in there. I see the previous one…but where’s the All Time ?
I agree with Perk. The Knicks don't have enough fire power.
Thibbs has always started McBride when OG is not available...the adjustment was starting Precious and when that didn't work he went to what always did...
Lebron is just a beast that 2018 playoffs dude averaged 35 points 9 assist and 9 rebounds plus hit like 3 game winners
Nobody and I mean nobody is talking bout Lebron!
Really loving Udonis on the panel. Wealth of knowledge and great communicator
Perk trying to apologize with this take, Knicks nation I never doubted you! Celtics in 5
Udonis low key good at this
SAS is 5’ 8😮😮😮
And the three he didn’t score 40 he was hurt
Fact stat to kick a show 😂. Good to See UD
Definitely 💯 Championship
He’s shooting 35 times are you serious!!!!
The Aces coach better eat her words about JB.
It’s very hard to listen to Austin rivers and Perkins talk like “Tyrese haliburton needs to be more aggressive it starts at the top, multiple games this series he’s been absent” like bro…. Yall both averaged 13 points a game combined in your guys’ career. So sad
To be fair, I averaged 0 points but even I can tell that he needs to be more aggressive. If youre the team’s only all star, you cant afford to go absent when your team relies so much on you.
I like this Knicks team, but I don’t think they’ll have the health or gas to win the finals. I do think they can beat the Celtics, but I don’t know if they defensively can match up to Denver in a series.
Haliburton vs Brunson is no competition. Haliburton with no handle is not on Brunsons level. Don't know why "in season" commentary put him above Brunson
100 % agree also Don't know why Team USA picked Hali over Brunson for the Olympics
Dvnzenzo dont want that smoke 😅
These guys are so much better than the other jokers! They’ve been watching, they’ve done the homework and are players with high bb IQ!
Stop stunting, like vegas don’t have the Thunder or Celtics winning it all.
Knicks definitely ain't beating Denver and Boston
why is zach yelling? we can hear him.
If K.P. would have not been on the Celtics he would not have a chip 🏆
Pacers going home. Brunson is a beast in this series
He’s got to get by the East first ! It looked like the Pacers could in game 4 !! The pacers in 7
He's like butta baby.
this is against bad defenses.
Jalen ''Jellybean'' Brunson.
Andrew Tate with his take 😂
Can we start Brunson > Luka
Thibs rotating, letting Hart breathe - great decision.
Twolves take note - take the loose ball fouls, trap & swarm like game 2. Tougher play without easy +1 will win.
@artimp152 - the refs aren’t allowing Minnesota to play aggressive defense anymore, they’re getting called for touch fouls
@@nydibs that's why they should push it, like the Nuggets, Knicks, and Heat do.
AG is an offball foul machine, but gets 1-2 PFs per game - 3 if he is flagrant. Joker fouls like Shaq with body, and for those rebounds - rarely called after first mvp.
So wolves need to dare the refs to have them foul out with BS calls.
I stopped liking Joker as he and Malone whined more and more with bs small market & ref narratives. Wallmart is big market.
Liking Luka more as he whines less with Kyrie and Kidd.
In every series noticing refs allowing moving picks, and calling Offensive charges instead of moving blocks. Killer for good D, and penetration - favors slower, bulky players.
@artimp152 - I don’t know if you watch the games but they did try. They even tried getting the same calls on the offensive side and got called for 4 straight charges in the 2nd quarter and a travel
Wolves start to get frustrated then fall apart, same thing that happened to Denver in game 2. Refs have heavily favored Denver since game 3
Olympic team coaches: Brunson > Haliburton
He's the real MVP
JB THE BEAST OF THE EAST
💙🧡🏆🧡💙🏀
They favoring Brunson, I believe my PACERS can get it done. This series is far from over. PACERS gotta win 2 games. PACERS IN 7
W ud
We're acting like Broadway Brunson didn't win in High School, in College for the young Team U.S.A Knicks will win a Championship within the next 3 years.
I wish Brunson was still in Dallas and maybe he could’ve won a championship in the near had he stayed. The answer is no he doesn’t win a championship with the Knicks because the east is run by Boston, Bucks, and Miami
He's the coach's son!!!!
I don’t think so. He’s been facing the East competition. He's playing amazing and he can probably make it to the finals in the East but winning a championship is a different story
Brunson is a problem 🐐
Lebron on the Knicks would go crazy
We don’t want that pu$$y

I still don’t understand why Kendrick Perkins still an ESPN analyst. This guy achieved nothing in his career. Just being at the right place , at the right time. That’s it.
