While visiting with Gordon Chiesa, a longtime Utah Jazz coach with Jerry Sloan and 30-year NBA coaching veteran, before Game 6 on Thursday, the prime subject was Jalen Brunson’s spin-cycle work in the paint.
In this era when it seems like missed three-pointers are more appealing than made two-pointers, Brunson has become one of the best guards in the league at operating in the paint among the shot-blockers and physically dominant centers.
Chiesa said it’s because Brunson has what he called “Gravity Feet.”
His footwork and ability to get you off balance is incredible, Chiesa said.
