In a recent episode of the show ‘First Take,’ Shannon Sharpe, a retired American football player who played 14 seasons in the National Football League, praised Jalen Brunson, the star player of the New York Knicks, for his exceptional performances in the playoffs. Sharpe stated that Brunson is playing unbelievably well.
Molly Qerim: Who has been more impressive this postseason, Jalen Brunson or Ant-Man?
Shannon Sharpe: They’ve both been very, very impressive, but what Jalen Brunson is doing is unbelievable. To get the shots he is getting, scoring from the lane, when they absolutely have to have a bucket, he goes and gets it. That is not to say that Anthony Edwards has not been impressive. He has been extremely impressive, especially having the lead on the defending champ. What is Jalen Brunson doing game in and game out when they have to have it? Karl-Anthony Towns will get your 60 points in a ballgame, so they have another guy who can go get 50 points in the game. It’s Jalen Brunson or bust.
