Knicks tied the game even when Brunson is playing with one good ankle.

Again I will say this till the cows come home it is extremely rare to win a title when ur best player is a small guard. Curry and Isaiah are literally the lone exceptions.

He was also very raw offensively in college. Really a weird development

Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS East First Round: #3 New York Knicks vs #6 Detroit Pistons
KAT is statistically a good defender when playing the 4, but he's a terrible defender at the 5 (stats and eye test)
Been like that since Minny, which is probably why the Wolves traded so much to pair Gobert with him

Omg what a shot by Brunson.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

Yeah it may be the worst mechanical shot in the league. He’s effective getting in the paint though and always has been.
