And I'm not sure if it's injury-related, inconsistency, whatever it is.

He's just not looking like the same guy we saw for most of the regular season, the all-star, the clutch player.

He hasn't looked like that same guy.

Look, I thought he was okay defensively against Brunson, and that's the big question, I think, for San Antonio on that end of the floor.

If the Knicks win a championship, what does that do for Jalen Brunson's legacy?

If the Knicks win a championship, Jalen Brunson probably becomes the greatest New York Knick of all time.

I don't even think that's hyperbole.

You'd put him over Ewing.

You'd put him over Ewing.

With a championship?

Yeah, I know.

Think about it.

I'm just saying, if he has a championship, you look at all the all-star appearances he's had, all the all-NBA appearances.

We're talking about he's the most clutch player multiple years in a row, and then you give him a championship?

He has to be the most – he has to be the best Knick of all time.

And this –

And then when you win a championship for a team as storied as the New York Knicks, you know what that does as far as the legacy aspect of your career and where you fall into with the Hall of Fame.

What do you think that people missed about Brunson back in 2022?

I mean, it's amazing to think that as recently as four years ago, the Dallas Mavericks could have had Jalen Brunson on a four-year, $55 million contract.
