As of right now, Jalen Brunson is averaging 26.7 points per game throughout his career as a New York Knick. That is tied with Bob McAdoo for the highest-ever points-per-game average among Knicks that played at least 100 games for the franchise. The requirements change over time, but Basketball Reference – which has required 58 games played per season since Brunson signed in New York – also has the 29-year-old guard as qualifying for a tie with McAdoo. While he's often criticized for his height, or lack of it, Brunson's legend just keeps growing in New York City.
