You’d never know it, but New York Knicks fans are enamored with All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson.
The sea of No. 11 jerseys peppered throughout the Big Apple? No idea what you’re talking about. Him, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo leading the so-called New York Villanovas? What’s that?
Deafening chants of “MVP!” that shook Madison Square Garden to its core in Thursday’s 109-105 comeback win over the one-time rival Indiana Pacers in which Brunson put the Knicks on his back with a 40-point night? FUGHEDDABOUTIT.
Now that we’ve gotten the sarcasm out of the way, allow me to break out the megaphone and say it again: Jalen Brunson is the most disrespected player in the NBA.
