[All-Access] A view from the court in San Antonio as Jalen Brunson gets the clutch jumper to fall to put the Knicks up by 6 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
TELL ME A LIL SOMETHING KD
DONT YOU REGRET NOT COMIN TO THE KNICKSSS
FUCC TRAE YOUNG
BING BONG
YOU STOP MAKING BING BONG! EVERY BING BONG TWO CENTS!
FUCK TOM BRADY
This single play is more important than KD’s entire playoff career
SUCK MY KNICK
Becky Hammon also in shambles
Fuck that goal post moving hoe
wait what did KD say???
Something about NYC, specifically Knicks, not being cool for basketball anymore iirc
You can tell KD to suck on our New York Dicks.
lmao KD is such a fuckin dork
I am fully expecting the” Bing bongs - KD edition” to be diabolical if Knicks win the chip
It’s also quote from a Sidetalk video.

im crying
wtf even is that???
Someone that rises in clutch moments
Thought he was done in the first quarter.
Silly me.
Even if Jalen goes 0-50 in the first 3 quarters I trust that he’ll knock everything down in the 4th
He made the brilliant adjustment of putting ball in hoop
This skill is often overlooked
It’s inevitable at this point. He’d still find a way even with both hands tied behind his back.
Taking first quarter Brunson seriously is a rookie mistake
my bad bro
He’s made of adamantium
One may call a man who does such things a top 5 player…
Vintage baby
Not getting a call there is crazy too lol. That’s text book pumpfake lean is it not
Brunson gets a lot less calls then people would have you believe.
It is, in fact, why he embellishes contact. If Brunson didn’t flop, he’d get 3 FTs/game.
Heck he didn’t even get his first FT until the 3rd qrtr last night! Or maybe it was even the 4th; can’t remember anymore, I just remember bitching at halftime that we were like 2⁄3 on FTs while they were 12⁄14 or some garbage
THANK YOU someone else was also noticing this. with 2mins left in the half Knicks had 1 FT. Spurs had 13. I was bugging.
And the 1 was from big Mitch which barely counts 😂. I don’t how much the Knicks FT rate has been increased by Mitch. Like even when the Knicks go to the line a bunch in games 1⁄3 of them are Mitch because the other team wanted him there.
The Spurs have gotten calls all post season.
I watched harper pull his jersey backwards and no call
It easily should’ve been a foul but the spurs weren’t getting called for very much all game. Winning the Scott foster game was massive
Foster had a great game tonight tbh. very few controversial calls in a tight game all night. If his name was Greg jones no one would be sayin anything
The spurs were allowed to play by their own rules on defense
That’s how it was called in the West every series for both teams. Thunder-Spurs was physical as hell.
Yeah ngl I thought the game tonight was quite well refereed all things considered, people would be happy if Zarba had called the same game
I dont think it’s a foul, he tried to get castle in the air and castle didn’t bite on the fake
He crowded brunson a bit but I think it’s good defense
They blew the whistle. SGA got his two free throws down in Cancun.
Insane that wasn’t called. Felt like the Knicks were barely at the FT line
How is that a foul? The defender was straight up before Brunson took a shoulder to his gut. If that’s a foul, I might be done with ball
The same way that Wemby can shoulder KAT in the chest knocking him down and it being a foul on KAT.
How is that straight up? He jumps forward and bumps JB on the shot.
4th quarter Brunson
Burner Brunson. Always burning at the last quarter
Brunson Burner right there bro
The numbers 1 to 4 here actually represent Brunson’s average performance each quarter
Brunson Lighter 🔥
That one game against Cleveland where they came back, I’ve never seen someone paint the glass like that over and over. Increasingly difficult shot making as the game goes on, but purposefully
Daddy chill
Cold hard buckets
YER
That’s called “DAWG”
You can’t teach it, you gotta be born with it
STEP BACK ONE LEGGED!
WHAT KIND OF SHOT IS THAT?!?
Reminds me of that Tony Parker shot game one vs Miami
A foul.
And one
God bless this man
He changed my life
All of our lives
Knicks in 3
Aww yeah😎
Saved the city, really.
verbal meme:
thank you for saving my life
im literally just jalen brunson
I love you, Jalen Brunson
They’re already blessed by the Pope
Ngl I was getting mad at him in the third quarter but he made up for it in the fourth
Now THAT’S what a signature playoff clutch shot looks like right there🔥🔥🔥
Brunson legacy literally just grew another 6 inches tonight😤🚨💦💦
Pause
HELL NO.
NO PAUSE
KNICKS IN 5!
Knicks in 4.
YELL IT!
Negative Mavs legacy points still, somehow
Mavs just keep taking Ls.
It’s wild that both Luka and Brunson have both made the Finals on their own, and i honestly think Brunson will have a FMVP trophy in a few days.
So proud of the Brunson Burner🔥🔥
He made the right choice leaving that shithole dysfunctional franchise on his own terms
The Mavs somehow had two of the five best PGs in the entire league on their roster and somehow let them both go for AD and one (likely) bad First Round Pick.
I also grew 6 inches
Grower not a shower
INCH FOR INCH HE’S THE BEST ONE
I see why he got the clutch award last year
Most dangerous player on the floor in the 4th and this his third year doing this shit in the playoffs. He basically Michael Jordan out there man.
Best closer in the game today.
He really is and he’s finally getting recognized for it outside of Knick fans
Dallas fans already adored him. So happy for him. Fuck Nico
No doubt about it
He basically Michael Jordan out there man.
Only difference is that Brunson is much cuter.
And a nicer guy
this! watching brunson reminds me so much of jordan’s offensive game. stay within the offensive scheme the first three quarters and take over in the fourth.
What a beautiful big headed short man
Sweet delicious noggin.
The dude is 6’2. He’s not short
He is the shortest 6’2” I’ve ever seen.
Definitely the stockiest
Big headed and big bodied boy
Citing nba sources hey? When have the nba ever given incorrect heights
6’1 at most
The Head of the Table
This is why you keep shooting even when you aren’t doing great.
Ahem, Chet Holmgren
Agreed but Chet clearly has some mental shit going on. I don’t think he can shoot his way out of it. There’s 0 energy.
skinny ben simmons
Ben Slimmons
Chet holmgren aint no Jalen Brunson
Comparing the greatest 4th quarter performer of his era to Chet is crazy
Bro Brunson is 5x better offensively, Chet is not making these shots. If someone is gonna take these self-created tough shots, its gonna be Shai
Too bad he’s too small or whatever
Supposed experts man! Brunson been HIM
a small guard can never lead a team to a championship sadly. analytically that shot missed
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1tw7fn4/comment/opn10ns
When that man starts cooking, you’re barbecue chicken.
Crazy foresight
Honestly you could just see it watching the game. Brunson was bricking up an absolute storm, and he just looked off.
At the end he was getting his shots off a lot more smoothly, suddenly started being more aggressive. I dunno, you could just see it. The game was super close with a bad Brunson, what’s gonna happen with a good Brunson? They come back and win.
When I saw that good Brunson at the end there it was almost a foregone conclusion.
I said something of that sort with another dumb comment in the live thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1tw7fn4/comment/opn0mn0
He fucking clutched up. That’s what great players do in the biggest moments on the highest stage.
Brunson never been scared of the moment, he’s built for it🔥
A lot of really great players have never been as clutch as Brunson though. He’s really special.
once he hit the scoop layup i went from anxious sad to anxious excited
AND 1
Only for Wemby
6-21 from the field and 12-13 from the FT line tonight
If Shai did that it would be doing crazy numbers.
JB actually has a terrible whistle when you watch him consistently
If you’re forcing contact under a minute you’re probably not getting the call. Nobody wants to see that whistle called ESPECIALLY if he misses it.
Damn
I can’t be the only one that saw he had 3 pivot feet.
Can’t be worse than Giannis taking 5 steps and 3 gather steps before that while driving to the paint
I think you’re counting the hop step as 2 steps which maybe it is idk the rules
Be still my heart
You’re in the finals, you’re allowed to let yourself be overtaken by emotion.
Super clear travel, surely?
Yeah super tough shot but shuffled his feet pretty bad. They never call those travels
that was moving so fast, i was barely catching it while slowing it down
i wouldn’t say that’s super clear
Even though it’s a missed call, this type of travel doesn’t really bother me. Doesn’t feel like a massive advantage is gained.
Yeah, I think the shuffle was the giveaway. But fair
Who else.. who else in the NBA is as clutch as my mans. HUH!?????
KING OF NY
This dude a killer
Travel!
For real. Lifted the pivot foot
Tuff
It’s over for Spurs so sad. Knicks in 4.
Brunson is amazing wtf
The Knicks can’t win with a 6’2 Premiere Player…….lmao
Insane travel
Just noticed lol
BING BONG BITCH
“Whoever wins in the west will sweep NYK” okay?????
INSANE shot and this series is amazing, thank god we don’t have to suffer through anymore OKC garbage
NO TRAVEL TOO UNLIKE FRAUD SGA DID AGAINST PACERS
STILL SALTY AF
Can we just take a second to appreciate the Finals logos on the court and the hoop, and the finals patches on the jackets? So glad this feels like an actual event again
Oh Captain my Captain
I swear Brunson plays better when he gets hurt during a game.
When he gets angry watch out. He scored 8 in a row in the second after he got stepped on and nearly got a tech. He was fed up. He tapped into that somehow again in the 4th, crazy stuff. We are so blessed
Travel
Brunson is a Top 3 NYK GOAT idc what anyone else says.
Crazy shot
Start building the statute now!
Is this a flop? I’m trying to understand
I’m a Shai hater, but I do think it’s hilarious that r/nba always does the Know The Work Rules bit with these two
What a shot
If this is the truly the Knicks’ year, I’m scared that we’ll get a major recession or WW3.
Everyone better than Jalen Brunson until it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson
What a player, man. No matter how he does in a game, you know he will turn up in the clutch.
This is gonna get ugly when it moves back to the garden. Knicks in 5
No flop just straight ball. I like
Big shot bob
the king of fucking new york.
The knicks would have won last year if not for the demon pacers team
Jalen Brunson is fucking HIM!!!! 😤😤😤😤
Knicks fans are even loud in San Antonio lol
From this angle you can really see him pick up his pivot foot…
that footwork
Might be the best closer ever. Mariano Rivera level
Beautiful 🥹
And 1
Spurs fans still alive?
I fucking love this man
Wemby who?
CAPTAIN CLUTCH
Sick
I need a live reaction of the we got jalen brunson guy
Brunson is him!
Most clutch player in the NBA
Darn, he’s got game
Imagine letting the shortest guy on the court do this to you lol. Spurs are ass
Brunson has done this to literally ever single team in the NBA
I cannot fathom how you make that shot thats crazy
Short stocky Kobe strikes again
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE HIM
How they letting the shortest guy on the court get so many rebounds lol
One of the greatest small guards of all time what a fucking legend
Legacy shot
He is so cold blooded my god
Jose is pure hype
