JJ Redick, Richard Jefferson, and Channing Frye break down Jalen Brunson's incredible playoff run for the Knicks and why the roster around him in Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and OG Anunoby are perfect complements.
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.
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.
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
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
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!!!
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
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.
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.
