Over the last couple of years, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks has made a huge name for himself as a powerful, smart, talented guard and team leader. A lot of people have taken notice of his skills, including LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.
On the latest episode of "Mind The Game," James spoke about Brunson and how well the Knicks are utilizing him right now.
"He's a one-headed monster right now with the Knicks and they blitzing him and making other guys beat them," James said.
For the season, Brunson is averaging 27.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 6.5 assists. He has indeed become perhaps the most crucial part of the Knicks' lineup which has led to an All-Star selection and New York's fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Brunson has been playing without his important teammates, Julius Randle and OG Anunoby, lately. With his leadership, the Knicks have remained competitive despite those two absences.
James noted that other teams are working hard to keep the ball out Brunson's hands because they know everything he can do when he has possession. However, other players are also stepping up and doing a lot of great work for the Knicks. For example, Donte DiVincenzo scored 40 points on Monday night, helping the Knicks score an easy win over the Detroit Pistons.
Brunson is now the face of the Knicks and he may be for a very long time. The fanbase, the team, and many other squads across the NBA now know what Brunson is capable of.
