oc Rivers has seen greatness. He has coached it, played alongside it, and even built champions out of it.
But it was one cold night in January when Jalen Brunson made him stop and say, “Holy gosh.”
Rivers had respected Brunson since Dallas. Thought he was solid. But watching the 6’2″ guard drop 44 points in just 28 minutes, absolutely torching Milwaukee, Doc realized this was not just a tough bucket-getter. This was a full-blown superstar.
“With his size, to be that unstoppable… absolutely unbelievable,” Rivers said.
Brunson did not just earn respect. He forced it.
From backup in Dallas to backbone of the Knicks, Jalen Brunson is undeniable.
