Kidd: A team needs Jalen Brunson if they’re trying to win a championship

Jason Kidd knows this NBA playoff series is a piece of cake for Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson.

Twice during a three-year span while playing for Villanova, Brunson helped lead the Wildcats to the NCAA championship. The second time, in 2018, not only was Brunson the best player in the NCAA tournament, he also was a consensus All-American and the best player in college basketball.

In other words, Brunson was all that and a bag of championships.

“What I really respect about JB is he’s always been questioned at every level – high school, college – and he’s always found a way to win,” Kidd said.
