Safe to say Brunson has peaked higher than Kyrie and Dame. What other elite PGs have inferior peaks?
Where does this season rank historically from a PG?

He's not better than peak Dame, he just plays in the East and has a solid team around him.

When did Brunson play vs the 2016 73-9 Warriors team in the Finals and scored 41 pts vs a elite defense and unstoppable offense??
I must've missed that series

Chucking 30 attempts a game in the first round and getting bailed out against a limited Philly team because of Josh Hart and the refs doesn't put him past any of those guys

Dame plays in the East and just got put out the first round. Dame played in the West and never made any real noise.

Never been more happy to be wrong about a guy than Jalen.

He has put himself in that category with Dame and Kyrie, but not above it. He may do that soon, but hasn't yet.

LOL what has he done?
Beat a 7 seed with their best player injured?
Thats better than Dame's WCF run? Or Kyrie winning the Finals.

What I thought LeBron was overrated?
Doesn't matter if you had LeBron. Irving had to come up clutch and scored 40+ multiple games vs the greatest team of this era
Until he gets that opportunity to even be in that situation and can do it in a 7 Game Finals situation, he's not better than Irving
this thread is ridiculous

Yes it’s better than Dames run where he got swept and Kyrie playing robin to LeBron

Brunson is probably better than Dame now, and likely will continue to be - especially as Dame becomes more injury prone and continues to be coached by Doc Rivers. But to imply that this season was better than every Dame season is disingenuous.

Brunson just beat a terrible Sixers team where Harris scored 0 points and a handicap Embiid with a 40yr old Lowry
What a legend

He’s only overrated to MJ fans and salty Kobe fans (who mad he ain’t in the GOAT convo)
And it does matter when you aren’t the number one focus of opposing defenses
What JB is doing this season is far more impressive than anything Kyrie ever did. Especially as a #1
