Jalen Brunson ECF MVP

There was a period when Jalen Brunson was mainly seen as Luka Doncic's co-star in Dallas. The smaller guard. The secondary playmaker. The one assisting Luka to shoulder the offense. When Brunson departed for New York in 2022, many mocked the Knicks for handing him a deal worth over $100 million. Overpaid. Not a franchise player. Cannot lead a team. Now look at where he stands. Eastern Conference Finals MVP. NBA Finals appearance. Multiple All-NBA selections. Face of the New York Knicks. Brunson just guided New York back to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years after controlling the series against Cleveland from start to finish. Game 1: 38 PTS, 5 REB, 6 AST. Game 2: 19 PTS, 14 AST. Game 3: 30 PTS. Game 4: ECF clincher on the road. The same player many believed could never steer his own franchise has become the central reason the Knicks have returned to basketball's biggest stage. Dallas helped develop him. New York made him a superstar. And now Jalen Brunson has officially gone from Luka Doncic's backup point guard to a Knicks legend in the making.
