Jalen Brunson: The Man Who Saved the New York Knicks

Jalen Brunson was never supposed to be the face of the New York Knicks. He was the son of an NBA player. An accomplished guard at Villanova. A national champion. Yet despite his resume of accolades, found himself as a second-round pick entering his NBA journey. He was a player many believed was too small or too limited to become a true NBA superstar. From his early life around the game, to his ascention as the face of the New York Knicks, Brunson’s journey was built on patience and an almost unshakable belief in who he was.
