The Knicks beat the Raptors on Tuesday night to advance to the Emirates NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas this weekend. Six New York players scored in double-figures, led by Jalen Brunson, who finished with 35 points after a remarkable 20-point performance in the first quarter.

Even though Hart said it in jest, the Knicks All-Star could be the best scorer in the NBA at his size, up there with Stephen Curry. Brunson is listed at 6'2", but he does not have Curry's light feet and burst of speed. He gets the job done using impeccable footwork and a variety of crafty moves in the paint and in the midrange.

Jalen Brunson scored 40 points to lead the Knicks to Tuesday's championship in Las Vegas against the San Antonio Spurs .

Jalen Brunson joked he’d pardon the thief who stole his Knicks teammate Josh Hart’s watches if he were New York's mayor.

Tim Reynolds: Josh Hart on Jalen Brunson's ranking as a scorer: "Barely 6-foot guard. Not physically impressive, not athletic ... big head so he has a big brain. He's able to figure out angles and find himself in position to be successful. Inch for inch, I think he's probably the best one."

Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson might have the No. 1 bromance in today's NBA. The New York Knicks' star duo have been best friends since college, and they act like it. In fact, even a $185K robbery that Hart went through was enough to stop him from trolling Brunson.

Jalen Brunson jokes about Josh Hart’s stolen watches and explains his unexpected write-in support after Knicks beat Toronto.

Brunson received 29 total write-in votes in New York City’s recent mayoral race — 27 as “Jalen Brunson” plus two misspellings of his name — despite not having a political platform, not being on the official ballot and not even living in New York City.

Jalen Brunson, at only 6-foot-1, hasn’t dunked in a regular-season game since the 2023-24 campaign. Victor Wembanyama, at 7-4, could jam on his tippy toes. No elevation needed.
