I just hope Brunson gets the respect from the refs next year like other star players. Hopefully not let players grab him by back of head while not looking or walk in his landing zone and get a call or two that he deserves. I never seen someone get beat up on the court. He a champ with out the games be called fairly.

He’s gotta be approaching the territory of top-10 guard of all time. And he’s still in his 20s.

Very happy for Brunson. As a Suns fan, I’m happy their drought is over, and for our two former players, Bridges, and Shamet.

That missed Hart lay-up was a kick in the chest, but Anunoby clutched up the squad rallied. They didn’t let Hart’s confidence get shook

He doubted Jalen Brunson, he attacked Josh Hart, he RIPPED INTO Mikal Bridges. Now all of a sudden he loves all of them. What a fake human being Stephen A Smith is.

You dont need to be a high draft pick to be a leader and good player.
Thats why i like Brunson and Jokic.

This why you shouldn’t doubt people because when you do that to a highly motivated person you create a monster

He once said Brunson is too small in carrying the team to championship. Really?? Then what of Steph Curry then??

Congrats to Brunson!! I’m not a past fan, not for any particular reason, he just hasn’t been a player I’ve watched, but I like his attitude. Happy to see he got a chip, who knows, he may get more.
