If you're not a New York Knicks fan and were asked who the top-three players in the NBA MVP conversation will be, odds are it'd be a combination of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokiu0107, and Luka Donu010diu0107. If you are a Knicks fan and were asked that same question, odds are that you'd say Jalen Brunson, Jalen Brunson, and Jalen Brunson.
The truth is that Brunson can win MVP. He's the leader of a team that made it to the conference finals last year for the first time since 2000. That wasn't good enough for the Knicks, as the team fired Tom Thibodeau, replacing him with Mike Brown.
