Just thought I'd bump this. Jalen Brunson has to be the best player in NBA over the last month. If anyone has any doubts he is the best Knick since Ewing, he should've erased it by now.

If Kristaps could have stayed on the court, he'd be (literally) head and shoulders above the list. Glad he's made a career out of it, but it's so disappointing that he didn't own NY.

I thought we were talking about players in NYK history between Brunson and Ewing. My bad?

Part of it was also the Knicks management then being dysfunctional during his time there.

KP was never even close to as good or impactful as Brunson was even healthy and at his best.

Kristaps would've been a great complement to Brundle and OG, but even if he had stuck in NY he wouldn't be the game changer that Jalen is...and I'd argue Randle/Anunoby as well.

I don't think this Knicks team is as good as you seem to think it is.
What exactly has Brunson done lol. He lost to an 8 seed.
Melo was really good vs the Pacers and had less help than Brunson did.
an 8th seed that made the nba finals.. i can’t take none of you nets fans serious
So what if they made the Finals? The Knicks clearly had the talent to beat them.
Jimmy Butler even got injured.

FWIW Melo also never had someone like Julius taking defensive attention away from him as a Knick. Without Randle on the court with him, Brunson's #s dipped a lot and were actually worse than Melo's.
Brunson without Randle since 1/29:
30.6ppg, 57% TS
Melo's best season as a knick (efficiency wise)
28.7ppg, 56% TS
Not to mention the winning record during that time (17-12)..
Plus Brunson's 7.1 apg to 2.6 turnovers, which is absolutely solid considering the scoring volume as well.
Lol so you get to use a 29 game sample?
Melo was clearly a better player at the time. Especially with scoring way up this year.

Melo was really good vs the Pacers and had less help than Brunson did.
One thing is for sure, they most certainly are better than the Nets, lol.
On the real, check out what a fully healthy Knicks squad did in January and then get back to me. They were the best team in the NBA until injuries kicked in.
As for what he's done in the playoffs - Brunson outplayed Mitchell last season in the playoffs and almost took the Heat to a game 7 by himself.
Ok the Nets are bad this year. Congrats. Has nothing to do with the discussion and more about your own insecurity
You guys had a nice run for 3 weeks. Congrats. So did the Cavaliers and the Pacers.
Yes Brunson was good. Not better than Melo.

That's not really anything to be ashamed about considering the Heat made the finals that year.
And the Knicks only had like 3 more wins than the Heat in the regular season that year.
Nobody said you should be ashamed of it. Im questioning what he has done to make him any more accomplished than Melo.

The same 8 seed Giannis and Tatum lost too? lol
Giannis got hurt that series. And yes Tatum collapsing in that series was terrible. Far worse than the Knicks.
The Nuggets easily destroyed them. They had no business making the Finals.

What’s the point in even replying back days later. Lol after Knicks just beat Nets. Are you really still trying to downplay Brunson?
