Maybe if Jalen Brunson plays five, six, seven, eight seasons in New York plays at this level, we might see him put up those kinds of numbers.
His scoring numbers have certainly spiked in the four years he's played, uh, in New York, but he's never going to, I would think, put up the numbers of a Ewing.
Will he win multiple championships like Clyde Frazier?
Some of the other guys on that team, Dave to Buscher, uh,
I don't know.
We'll see what happens.
But I've heard a lot of people say that Jalen Brunson, if he wins a championship, becomes the greatest Knick of all time.
Now, the argument I would make...
is with Patrick Ewing.
Because Patrick Ewing was a Nick basically for life.
We don't remember the Sonics and the Magic stuff.
We don't think about that stuff.
He is Mr. Nick.
He made the Knicks a relevant team throughout the 80s and the early 1990s.
And no, he didn't win a championship.
He came up short in the finals against Hakeem Olajuwon.
but he ran up against the Bulls a lot in the playoffs.
He ran up against Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs.
Do we discredit the accomplishments of Patrick Ewing because he doesn't have that championship on his resume?
And I guess that's the question.
