Jalen Brunson a small player wearing a big target after Knicks' NBA title
Jalen Brunson doesn’t overwhelm anyone athletically like Michael Jordan or LeBron James. He’ll never overpower anybody like Shaquille O’Neal. Brunson is listed at 6-foot-2 and doesn’t look like someone who would ever dominate an NBA game. That has left countless frustrated opponents wondering why they couldn’t stop him from leading the New York Knicks to the top.
Players who watched what Brunson did last season while leading the Knicks to their first NBA championship since 1973 clearly admire what the 2018 second-round pick has become. James and Giannis Antetokounmpo were among the superstars praising Brunson when training camps opened.
