Jalen Brunson Shouldn't Be Able To Do This

Jalen Brunson produced so much offense against the 76ers that it doesn't even make sense, and his approach as a creator is unlike any other player.

I normally don't like PGs who have such a high usage and look for their own shot as much as Brunson, but his ability to play within the flow of the game, high basketball IQ and his ability to keep his teammates involved despite his high volume of shots make him my favorite Knick since Ewing

Elite footwork. Brunson moves like a knife in the paint

Best Brunson breakdown video 🙌🏼 He's a beast 🟠🔵LGK🟠🔵 You have to appreciate how much he does against dudes much bigger than him. Always rooting for the underdog

[tonytooshort]

3:36 check Hartenstein on this play. Dude goes from ABOVE the 3 line, to literally RIGHT UNDER the rim in like 3 seconds. This energy and tenacity is why we're a winning team now. 👏🏽

[SergioAcosta]

This guy does whatever he wants, on a court where everyone is bigger than him.

[dnrmafia]

Doing all this while still getting double digit assists is wild

I love his game, you’re right about the fact that he makes very few mistakes especially in crunch time. He has completely mastered how to exploit his defenders and hunt for driving angles and space to get a shot or floater off. He’s elite at finishing through contact, and although he is “small” by conventional standards, he plays bigger than he is due to have a strong lower body and low center of gravity, he keeps his dribble low, and he changes direction so quickly. He reminds me a little bit of Steve Nash mixed with Stevie Franchise and a dash of Iverson

For antone like me who is actually trying to play like Brunson on the court, don’t forget this man does miss plenty of shots. He missed 17 per game in the playoffs. But, the reason I’ve felt since Dallas that this man could put up 30 if he got the chance, he is simply able to get good looks off that he is comfortable and confident taking over, and over, and over, and over. Brunson isn’t afraid to miss a 9 foot jump shot. Idk, I feel like some players might be. But Brunson just shoots and shoots and shoots. Never gets too down. And it’s brilliant. They seem like tough shots, but they also seem like easy shots. But all that matters is that they are easy and comfortable and second nature shots for him.
I remember I was really impressed his rookie season when he showed that he could make these paint and short mid range shots over almost any contest and get to them whenever he wanted.
We all hear so much about the mentality of Kobe. One thing I don’t hear taken from him enough is how much time he spent on the mid range shot specifically. He shot thousands and thousands of the same shots from the same area in pradrice to the point that during games, it felt really comfortable for him to take them with any levle of contest in his face and he was even able to do things like alter his shooting pocket or release angle casually becasue he was practiced with those shots. And I’ve heard him talk about this. That’s the goal we should all aim for. To get to the point that we have a move or moves or a shot or shots that we are subconsciously sooo comfortable with. We can just go to it whenever we want! And even tho you might miss it any one attenpt, You know you are going to make a bunch of of them if you just keep shooting them. And once you have that comfort level in a move or shot package, that allows you to also feel comfortable to branch out mid game and try new things, because you know you can always go back to your comfort zone if need be!

Love this video and love how you said “his jumper is absolutely butter”😂😂😂

[hruiz]

Enjoyed this video. I’m a big fan of Brunson’s. He’s a hard worker that has earned where he is right now. And he will continue to get better as he keeps adjusting to how teams play him.

[rattytatty]

He is amazing…pure and simple. Just amazing. A joy to watch.

[FloridaMan-qh]

We were down to a seven man rotation he had to play like that

[louisastuto]

He is an absolute master at changing directions the split second a defender turns their head, if you look behind you to see where the screen is coming from or where your help is you are dead. Also, the most dangerous time to defend him is after he slows down or looks like he’s doing something casual, he baits defenders into thinking they can relax for half a second and then blows by them. He is playing chess while most defenders are playing checkers, he may not be super athletic but he is one of the most cerebral scorers of this generation, you have to be mentally locked in to slow him down.

[JoseGarcia-fgfj]

on lebrons/jj podcast he mentioned the average NBA play isn't very bright. I feel like that's why Brunson is good, he is a very smart and clever person, which gives him the edge while being built below average(for an NBA player).

[Setsunaah_]

He's the modern day Allen Iverson. Such a fun player to watch.

[moe.ronlife]

Nice break down, Brunson finally getting the love he deserves. Happy for him, dude has worked hard to get where he is at his size. Lets go Knicks!

[paybackyt]

It's like he's playing 2k mycareer atp 😂🔥

[Rodxyou]

Mark Cuban 🤡 made the biggest mistake in NBA history by not resigning "Jalen Brunson".
That will cost Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks in the future.

[TheKnicksFix]

Your analysis here was incredibly articulate, and accurate. Brunson is just a winner, and he inspires those around him to be winners, which makes him a leader. On top of that, while all of these things scream MVP, he wouldn't even care for such a title, which is why he is loved. What a wonderful example JB is for all the kids out there, and a whole new generation of NBA fans.

My lord Jalen Brunson, thank you for changing Knickerbocker culture and bringing my life an ounce of joy🙏🏼
