The choice to sign Jalen Brunson turned out to be crucial for the New York Knicks. Brunson had a respectable career with the Dallas Mavericks, but this season’s performance surprised everyone. Since Brunson joined the club the previous season, the team has greatly benefited. The great guard is in talks to stay with Steph Curry and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as two of the top guards in the league as a result of his performance.

Kendrick Perkins made a daring statement about Brunson on ESPN’s First Take. Perkins appeared on the prestigious program with Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith. In the Who Ya Got? part of the show, the host asked Perkins which point guard he would pick over the New York Knicks star. The analyst said something that would surprise hoops fans. What he stated was this:

I refuse to accept one. No one. And no offense intended to Steph Curry. I mean no offense to SGA. However, I won’t give up on Jalen Brunson for anyone.Kendrick Perkins via First Take on ESPN

This season, Jalen Brunson is scoring at a career-high average. The Knicks have benefited from his presence. Perkins included that as well to bolster his assertion. The commentator brought up the team’s most recent 3-1 road trip to the West Coast, as well as the compliments Mike Brown, the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, and Draymond Green, the star player for the Golden State Warriors, gave Brunson. Thus, despite all the admiration and gratitude, Perkins did not pick anyone over Brunson.

SGA’s club leads the league’s most difficult conference, and he is a strong candidate for this year’s MVP award. In terms of assists, rebounds, and points, the celebrity leads Brunson. In contrast, Steph Curry has played admirably given his team’s difficult circumstances.

It wasn’t just Perkins who gave Brunson praise. On The Draymond Green Show, Warriors forward Draymond Green gave the Knicks star high accolades. On Monday, the Knicks defeated the Warriors on the road. After Brunson scored 34 points in a scorching fashion, his opponent praised him.

Green mentioned that after winning college basketball’s National Player of the Year award, Brunson was selected in the second round of the NBA draft. During his draft, Green was likewise in a comparable circumstance. Thus, he discovered similarities with Brunson. The athlete went on to discuss the Knicks star’s move from Dallas to the present. What Green stated was as follows:

He is playing at an all-NBA level. It’s good to see him getting his due that he’s getting. Draymond Green via his podcast

Some would say the Mavericks made a mistake letting Brunson leave. They had the opportunity to sign him to a bargain deal. However, Brunson left to start a new chapter in his career. So far, he has exceeded expectations and the Knicks fans remain content with their top star.
