No Becky, Jalen Brunson IS A SUPERSTAR! 

Post#1 » by WillyJakkz » Fri May 3, 2024 3:42 am

But Becky Hammond told me this guy was too short and small to lead a team and be the main Superstar.

And tons of analysts supported her.

Yet here he is with the 41pt outburst eliminating the taller Superstar in Joel Embiid whom she and others said was the type of player a franchise needs to be a winner.

I thought Isaiah Thomas and Allen Iverson showed us that it's about the size in someone's heart not just height!

Make it make sense?

Not even a Knicks fan but I can appreciate someone playing with heart!

Brunson was a beast in DAL and got unleashed in NY!

I think it was actually Becky Hammon who said that. Doris catching strays.

Beating Embiid in the playoffs doesn't prove he's a superstar...

Pretty sure Becky isn’t getting proven wrong from a first round win. Not the time for this.

Becky’s comments were about him winning a championship as the guy.

It’s pathetic how Knicks fans continually keep going at her like she said something else.

Her main point was Brunson wasnt a 1a dude and too small............Well hes been the best player in an entire conference, should prolly be All Nba 1st team, 2nd team at worst...........and hes now outplayed Mitchell 2 times in playoffs, outplayed Cp3, outplayed Jimmy and outplayed Embiid and Maxey in a playoff series...........if Brunson "isnt that dude" for a championship contender then neither is Mitchell, Cp3, Jimmy, Embiid etc

Outplayed Jimmy feels a bit much, but Jalen certainly went toe-to-toe with him last year.

At this point, the more people say it, the more certain I become that sooner or later it'll happen.

...especially if we snag Caruso this summer :pray:

Man Mavs fans need to be silent on Brunson for real :lol:

NYK can definitely lure a star free agent now that they finally have some pieces that are not washed up and good vibes.

Just let dude have his shine, sheesh.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

Its what happened tho.........Brunson was the best player on the floor most the series and most the games but Bam was just by far 3rd best player of the series and dominated Randle. Heat also had better depth w/ Strus, Lowry, Caleb, Vincent, Love.........Knicks didnt have Donte yet or Og (whos much better than Rj Barrett who was meh)

Jimmy

25,7,6,2,1 on .552ts and 8 turnovers

Brunson

31,6,6,1 on .632ts and 11 turnovers
