47 Points. Knicks Record. It's Not Even A Debate, Jalen Brunson Is A Fucking Superstar

Forget any debate. That man is a fucking superstar. No Mitchell Robinson, Bogdanovic played about 12 seconds before getting hurt, Donte was a no-show, Hart couldn't score. Doesn't matter when you're a superstar. You go win that game and that's what Jalen Brunson did. Sure, he had help with OG and the fact the Knicks are just tougher than the Sixers. They play with heart and balls, the Sixers don't. But the difference is Jalen Brunson.

Knicks playoff record. 

That right there is what we've been dreaming of. A man who can go win you a playoff game on the road with everyone around him hurt. Shit, even Brunson was hurt! Slow games in 1 and 2, sure, but those were wins. He got us a win when we needed it the most. Shout out OG too. That's the dude you trade for. That's a guy who just played defense, rebounded, defended Embiid, it didn't matter. That's the OG you traded for. 

End these guys at the Garden. I can't keep watching Joel Embiid be the dirtiest player in the league. I can't keep watching Kyle Lowry be the 2nd dirtiest player and just all around miserable player to watch. The Knicks are the better team. 3-1 says so. Jalen Brunson says so. Fight back from down double digits. Players missing, it doesn't matter.

Side note - love that it sounded like a home game for the Knicks. So much for that tough Philly crowd.
