Jalen Brunson is the best Knick since Patrick Ewing

[SweaterBae]

I don’t think he is better than Allan Houston, Sprewell, Melo, or Zach Randolph

Absolutely laughable. lol.

[bronxknicksfan1]

Tallest midget (op).

47 shots to get 61 in OT loss. Stinks of a big market biased thread.

You think anyone can score 60 on that many shots? We just saw yesterday that just because a player gets 40 shots doesn’t mean they can score 60.

Not to mention, Brunson shot 53% from the field and 38% from 3.

I think your reading comprehension missed something. I didn’t say anything about capability…

Because a player can shoot 40 shots and score zero points.

What you should have read, was a player shot 47 shots and scored 61, in OT, in a loss. Not climbing Everest here, worth a ‘best of thread’.

The weak ass cop out of “reading comprehension” when people here make ridiculous statements is always hilarious

Did you watch the game.

No lol

Man you need to put some respec on a few people names.

Brunson has not done **** in New York so far, he might as well be an empty stats guy at this point.

[perempe20]

Ranking the Brunson-DiVincenzo backcourt would be fun thread.

[sisibilio]

He might become the best Knick.

Sounds crazy but at this point i wouldn't rule that out.
Who's more highly regarded among Knicks fanbase? Ewing, Frazier or Reed?

[Sofia]

It may be a low bar, but Brunson is a hell of a player. Any team in the league would love to have him.

Mark Cuban spinning in his grave

I actually think the Knicks lost because he was looking to distribute on the first few possessions of the overtime. He should have told everyone else to get the **** out of the way…. Especially ol’ brick hands Robinson

Truth hurts. But isn’t it exactly reading comprehension problem when someone writes about apples and someone comments on oranges. Makes for bad RGM discussion too.

Performing in the playoffs is empty stats?

I think he made the right plays. Wemby had us absolutely shook and I credit their defense, especially him. A lot of guys were missing bunnies because they were trying to speed things up so he wouldn't block them. Mitch especially but I saw every Knicks player approach the rim differently from their usual mechanics. That fear bled into everything. When you play the Spurs going forward your whole mindset needs to adjust. Stuff that usually works for us just didn't.

He's a monster.

[Capn'O]

Folks, we're not asking you. We're telling you.

He might become the best Knick.

Typically Ewing but it's close. Right now, we're talking about Bernard King for best offensive player.

What on earth are you blathering about? We're about to win 50 games with an injured roster. Have you watched a Knick game in the last 25 years?

[CometGM]

This is basically saying he is better than Carmelo. I suppose it's debatable but Carmelo did average 28.7ppg on a Knicks team that won 54 games.

Brunson has overachieved and become more likable than Carmelo, but I'm not sure he has cleared that bar yet. He very well could though.

Points averaged isn't the end-all be-all. In fact, Melo's time here was mostly disappointment except for one season, and even that I attribute it more to other players around him. I've been watching the Knicks since the early 90s and I would even say that Marbury was better for the Knicks as a team player. Melo was literally a chucker and selfish. There were times where the Knicks would actually have some chemistry passing the ball, then it would stop with Melo and the crowd had to actually yell at him to "pass the ball!".

So yes, Melo could score points selfishly, but was never a leader. Statistics be dammed I would take just 1 year of Brunson than 4 or 5 years of Melo. I'm sure I speak for a lot of other Knicks fans.

Randle is much better than Randolph was.

Randle is much better than Randolph was.

Career wise or just with the Knicks? Randolph’s best years were in Memphis

So what? You won’t win anything with this team and to assume Brunson can become the greatest Knick of all time, is just completely idiotic and disrespectful to your all time greats.

He isn’t even remotely on the level of a player like Trae Young…

Look at the current state of the hawks and current state of the Knicks, and look at the placement of the two teams. If you're going to pick a random player to troll Jalen with at least use a realistic player

[UcanUwill]

Lots of trash takes here. Being best player of freaking NBA franchise, best player for NBA franchise in last quarter of century, it is not a low bar, I dont care which franchise we are talking about.

And typing that you do not think Brunson is better that Houston, Sprewell, Randolph, that is just ridiculous contrarious overthinking. Brunson is better than any of these players and I do not see how it is a debatable take. Carmelo Anthony was just as good a player maybe, but knowing his qualities as a leader, I think any NBA franchice would rather have Brunson without much thought.

This is bizzaro world where we are really witnessing superstar season from a guy who plays for the Knicks, and somehow, he is like one of the most underrated guys in the league. SInce when are the Knicks new Bobcats or smth, I don't get how it is possible to be so good for the Knicks, and not get deserved credit.

This is the worst take I have seen whole season, unbelievable...
