Let’s give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, with the only difference that Caesar was surrounded by Romans to assist him in his quest for the title. Jalen Brunson is much less lucky: 41 points of his own but the Knicks eliminated, the leader almost deserves to continue the adventure with the Heat. Is there a rule to be erected or something?
Regular season? 24 points at 49% shooting including 42% from 3-pointers, and 6.2 assists in 68 games.
Premier tour ? 24 points at 44% shooting, 4.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists in five games.
Second tour ? 31 points at 50% shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists in six games.
Jalen Brunson’s rise to power had all of those that take you to the end of a historic campaign. Consistent throughout the regular season, the 33rd pick in the 2018 Draft was the first good No. 1 in recent Knicks history. We remember the slanderous remarks made regarding him last summer, when he signed up with New York to 104 million over four years. Today, it does not justify them, it makes them completely forgotten. So pay him 170 million over five years, Jalen Brunson was the only New Yorker not to bang his head once morest a ceiling. Are there any limits? It is in this question – left unanswered by this ultimate performance at 41 points – that lies all the excitement which, this summer, will make us impatient for the return of the Knicks next October. “Hey TrashTalk you puffballs, did you miss his last action to value him so much? ». It’s not a loss of bullet – even if decisive in the victory of the Heat – which will make us forget all the work done by this evil elf. Without him, the Knicks were going nowhere. And as true recognize true, Erik Spoelstra made magnificent remarks regarding Jalen Brunson, in the post-match conference.
“How come this guy isn’t an All-Star or an All-NBA? He should be on one of those teams… I wish he was still in the West, but you have to put some respect on his name as a competitor. – Erik Spoelstra, regarding Jalen Brunson
The only Knicks player to show up.

Slowly but surely, the Knicks are moving forward and will leave next year with the best of feelings: that of a position 1 filled by an irreplaceable.
