Knick fans are failing Jalen Brunson by not voting for him amid an MVP campaign

The New York Knicks entered Wednesday night's bout with the San Antonio Spurs as a 23-9 basketball team with an NBA Cup Championship to show for the one game that didn't count toward that record. Jalen Brunson is the NBA Cup MVP, two-time Eastern Conference Player of the Week, and the recipient of plenty of MVP-level praise from head coach Mike Brown. In the NBA's first All-Star fan voting returns, though, Brunson only came in third place in the Eastern Conference. He didn't even have the most votes in the conference for a point guard, with Tyrese Maxey coming in second overall.
