Great article, Tommy. I have had the pleasure of watching Jalen play since it was announced that my alma mater, Villanova , was getting its first 5-star recruit ever and it was Rick Brunson's son. I watched every televised game in his 3 years at Nova and was shocked in reading "the experts" predict that he would fall into the 2nd round of the NBA draft. He was college player of the year. But Jokic went 41st, so if you are not super athletic, the experts do not realize your value until it's too late. Jalen's an all-star and an all-NBA player in my eyes.

Nice - must be extra special for Knicks/Nova fans

Great write up, Tommy. Brunson is more Michelangelo than Basquait. Having been a long suffering Knicks fan, he brings a grin to my face watching him operate. I have no doubt his play and leadership has elevated this team.
