Jalen Brunson sitting down for postgame media:
“Do I be myself, or do I talk my shit?”
You just led a team that set the record for the highest point differential in NBA post season history at +283.
Losing 3 games by a combined 6 points.
Talk your shit king.
Talk. Your. Fucking. Shit, my man.
Atlanta and CJ McCollum… Names that send shivers down my spine.
So the Hawks really were the 2nd best team in the playoffs
What an insane season where our 2 biggest boogiemen were CJ McCollum and a rookie Dillon Harper
wrong dylan bro
Predictive text history gave him away
He meant Dylan Brooks
As a Hawks fan, I’m incredibly proud of the season we had. Congrats to the Knicks
Give Harper his flowers though
That boy is going to be a menace in this league. Mitch Johnson fucked up so badly by not going with him over Fox.
“Atlanta Atlanta Atlanta” in lion king hyenas voice
We lost two games to CJ McCollum and one game to Donald Trump. What even is this playoffs run?
What does point differential mean?
They scored 283 more points than they allowed.
If you win a game by 10 points, 100-90, that’s a +10 point differential. If you did that 28 games in a row that would be a +280 differential.
They scored 283 more points than their opponents this post season. Insane to think about.
How many of those were from Brunson vs. others?
A good chunk, why do you think he’s western conference and finals mvp?
Eastern
How many though?
More than 1.
Found Wemby’s burner…
He scored 45 out of the teams 95 points in this game.
He’s the point guard, so you have to consider both his own baskets and all those he assisted on.
Knicks in 5!
Damn, what an insane stat.
Yeah props to JB. He got the job done.
Its still boggling to me that the Mavs had him and Luka and hit a reset button with Cooper Flagg. What a run dude.
And Flagg was crazy luck too
Biggest moneymaker team gets sold under the radar which is highly unusual and just before the deal a superstar gets traded without shopping under the radar which is highly unusual. Then against all odds they get the 1 pick. Yeah sure it was luck lol
After that trade I realized NBA is rigged. For the league to approve the sale of the team Luka had to be traded to big market Lakers and for the buyers to be still onboard they were given the number one pick.
And for the Adelsons I’m sure they preferred to have another franchise white guy too
The stuff yall are saying about the Adelsons israeli mean
Damn! 🤔
NBA rigged since the Ewing draft, ironically
You think people needed a reason to buy an NBA team?
I don’t think it’s possible come to any other conclusion after that sequence of events
Rich people with huge egos are incompetent and then the mavs got lucky?
Don’t forget Brunson went to the other biggest market in the league.
Ok man sure
How could they rig it? When did Silver make that backroom deal?
When Nico made the trade, he thought that he found the missing piece for a title in 2025. At that time, Mavs were like fourth in the West. No one saw Kyrie getting hurt. Of course, it should’ve been expected that Davis would’ve gotten injured in his first game with the Mavs.
Remember when the hornets were getting sold and somehow ended up with the #1 pick to get Anthony Davis? Must be a coincidence.
Or the cavs getting consecutive first picks after Lebron left. Coincidence.
You can work backwards with every team that wins the lottery though. If the bobcats won the AD lottery people would have said it was a favor to Michael Jordan.
I always hate to be this guy but like 1.8% is really not improbable to the point where the only possible explanation is that the lottery was rigged. It’s about the same odds as landing 6 heads in a row; improbable for sure but I wouldn’t say my coin is rigged to land on heads if it happens.
I think most of these theories about the lottery being rigged fall apart under a small amount of scrutiny. The narrative is the main thing keeping the theory alive.
If anything, if I wanted my rigged league to be less suspect the last thing I would do is give the Mavs the #1 pick lol.
People are not rational news at 11
Luka to Flagg, AD to Zion, idk chief
Coin flips don’t take frozen envelopes into account
That’s my favorite one. It’s so simple too -unlike ping pong balls.
1.8% is really not improbable landing 6 heads in a row; improbable for sure
1.8% is really not improbable
landing 6 heads in a row; improbable for sure
Pick one.
Did you get 5 words into a sentence and just check out, or do you not understand what the second half of that sentence means?
Do you not understand what a contradiction means, or do you just default to insults when your arguments are weak?
Especially since they were in the play-in too. The Mavs were one win away from not even having a chance at Flagg so there’s no shot it was rigged the whole time
To me, the lottery being rigged doesn’t come from “how could the they otherwise win a 1.8% chance event”. It comes from the fact that I think the chances that they traded Luka for that garbage package and then a few months later, separately, won a 1.8% chance of getting Flagg, is lower than the chances that it was rigged so they knew they were really trading Luka for that AD package + Cooper Flagg. In that context, it makes way more sense
They were 4th in the west when they made that trade. If kyrie doesnt tear his acl they probably aren’t even in the lottery. They just got exceptionally lucky
They want to move the franchise to Las Vegas. The Atrioc vid on the Luka Conspiracy basically proves this, it’s fantastic
Your timeline is a little off but agree some sketch stuff went on
“Luck”
Corrupt bargain
1.8%
I mean its in the script
Man do I have a stock to sell you
Crazy. Luck. Yeah…
Zero luck, all planned before hand. Just like Wemby.
It was about time that Dallas got lucky in the lottery. It was the first time ever that Dallas moved up in the lottery.
We all know it wasn’t
Let’s be honest, it wasn’t luck.
“luck” ha
Negotiated luck you say?
As a Laker fan, I have to say, I hope Doncic is watching this somewhere – and not happy about it.
Let’s see what happens next.
Of course he isn’t, tingus pingus and brunson got a ring before him. Now he’s gotta deal with a shit team that has a playoff choker asking for a max, and a 41 year old billionaire refusing to take a pay cut.
Luka has “a 41 year old refusing to take a paycut” after showing up better than anyone, not just in this playoff, his entire career is insane.
Yeah Lebron isn’t the problem, but he’s still in a super shitty situation. Luka’s only fault I guess is signing with the team, but like… he just signs with whoever he’s with… that’s loyalty…
Nice try conveniently removing the “billionaire” description. Lebron deserves all the pay that he receives, but he can absolutely afford to take a pay cut if he actually wants a well-built team. Or maybe the Lakers can just rely heavily again on Doncic until his body breaks down again?
It’s a quote of the person’s words above. Why would I modify a quote… think!
I’m the person above…
Then you should know better! Make sense! And would you accept your job telling you that since you were making so much money, this quarter you wouldn’t get a bonus for being the top performer, instead they need you to take a pay cut?
Liar… if you say of course. It’s the same principle.
I mean bron is also 41 years old and is a season or two away from retiring, the Lakers being well built probably is not that much of a priority to him anymore because he’s not gonna be around much longer
The 41 year old billionaire was on the floor during the Playoffs, which is more than Luka can say.
a paycut would not have allowed Lakers to do anything meaningful last summer so lets see what lebron does this summer before jumping to conclusions.
Teams should inquire if Flagg is available.
I hear Kyrie is available.
They also gave up AD.
Thankfully, Nico is gone. Masai isn’t stupid, like Nico is.
Cavs had four overall first round lottery picks, which one of them turned out to be one of the best ever players to play in the NBA. They also got Kyrie with one of those picks. Cavs have lived a charmed life. Dallas finally got lucky and landed its first lottery pick.
Yes, Cuban and Donnie fucked up Brunson’s rookie contract. Nico fucked up and traded Luka, but the basketball gods owed a first overall lottery pick to the Mavs, especially after Dallas had the worst winning percentage of all American pro sports leagues in the 90s.
So, I’ll gladly accept the Dirk to Luka/Brunson to Flagg run.
Is that you Coop?
and don’t forget that Dirk retired AFTER they got Luka!
When you bring a championship back to New York, you have earned the absolute right to talk as much trash as you want
[removed]
did he do any of that? or are you just stupid as fuck?
Talk your shit captain
Brunson: Still 0-0
Enjoy the day, enjoy the moment, enjoy the parade…..and then we all go back to 0-0
I don’t think there’s been a likeable and non-controversial finals MVP like JB in a while.
I can’t think of any fanbase that hates him, outside of normal NBA east toxicity
As a neutral who slightly leaned towards the Spurs due to them beating OKC, Brunson 1000% earned my respect this post season. I thought he was just a notch below the Hardens, Nashes and Chris Pauls of the world when he was actually a notch above them.
A notch above them is top 50 all time no?
And? Brunson is up there now. He’s the best guard in the league.
Yeah I’m just making sure we all agree lol
I think he’s there now, and I’m a hater. Definitely over Nash. More rings than Paul or Harden, not the career numbers. Paul I might disagree with.
…in what world are Nash harden and cp not top 50 all time? Nash and harden have a top 30 case
Recency bias, subjectivity of rankings etc. nothing is as cut and dry as you think 🤫 let the adults speak
I actually just noticed that Brunson left the head snapping part of his game back in the regular season
Impossible to dislike Brunson
I think prior to this playoffs there were a good deal of people who thought he was an excessive foul baiter, but it really wasn’t bad this playoffs from what I saw.
His style of play is going to earn him a lot of foul calls. He plays physical and he can beat you so many ways.. so defenders are have to gamble and often they’ll choose wrong.
Yeah, but this year I think it was basically fair. Last year in the pistons series sometimes it was infuriating. I didn’t see that this postseason.
The only reason he even has that label is mostly last year playoff run and specifically against the pistons.
I’ve watched Brunson night in and out for years and the talk of his foul baiting and what not is gargantually overblown
Dude is tiny and takes hits
I watched that series so that’s largely where my impression of him came from. Generally prior to this playoffs the pistons fanbase didn’t like him very much. I suspect many people’s opinions softened now.
Yeah you can count me as part of that group. Bias was real after our series last year but he won me over with this run
I also think him flopping more against the Pistons was a designed thing because Pistons were a scrappy team who lead the league in fouls. You’ve almost got to play into it against us to some degree. It really doesn’t seem like it’s a regular part of his game like it is for SGA
It’s definitely not. He just plays so physical, at his size, you’re gonna take hits and when you do you’re gonna get tossed around
He was getting fouled a LOT this series without calls.
Can confirm. Not a Knicks fan, JB is a-oh-Kay!
Sometimes I watch games and imagine I’m a fan of the other team having to watch Brunson cook my guys. My favorite part is when I get to remember THAT’S MY FCKING PG
I don’t think sga was hated 365 days ago
He has more restraint than me. I would’ve talked so much shit about the refs and Wemby after seeing those flagrants that didn’t get called lmao. And SAS and Becky Hammon too.
Raps fan here and while my love for OG had me rooting Knicks I absolutely respect Brunson and wish we had a guy like that. Absolute winner. Pure leadership. Hard work. Heart. Deserved accolades for him.
Jokic? Giannis? What lmao?
Jokic has a crazy fanbase but many people dislike Jokic (OKC / LAL for examples).
And cmon bro ik you didn’t just list fucking Mr Kalshi, I’m leveraging trade rumors to help friends and family place illegal bets, Giannis. I could go in even more on Giannis.
OKC/Lakers = peak west toxicity so I don’t get that for Jokic. He simply outplayed AD in 2020 and Lakers fans absolutely seethed salt and Okc fans are Okc fans lmao
And Giannis’s Kalshi shit was wayyy after the fact he won finals mvp—he was likable when he won it and years after. “Now” is a different story, but that wasn’t the discussion at hand anyways.
Maybe Twolves fans with Jokic? He was getting in his feelings when the Hospital Timberwolves called out the Nuggets defense then backed it up. Plus almost fighting with McDaniels after he dunked on them in garbage time.
At the time though. Giannis especially was pretty universally loved.
I could find you a few Michigan fans who hate Brunson, Hart, Bridges and Divencenzo.
Genuinely the best championship run in a while.
Brunson and the Knicks shut all the haters up quick. Talk your shit buddy.
Best Championship run in history with the highest point differential in NBA post season history at +283.
Talk yo shit!
I hate that the Spurs didn’t even shooked hands. I bet Pop didn’t liked that
Brunson shook Mitch Johnson’s hand and he’s valid in my mind for that
Brunson kinda ambushed him with a hug.
Pop’s already booking a flight to smack some bitches up
45 fucking points to close out the finals talk your shit!!!!!!
Only other player to do that on the road is Michael Jordan.
When you’re considered “too small” by everyone around you and you win against the team led by the tallest player, I wish he would talk a lot of shit back.
Modern day David and Goliath story. He beat the tallest player and most likely to be the biggest as in the face of the NBA moving forward. Knicks were the underdogs and shut everyone up.
Seems he is just not a trash talking guy
Talk your shit, you’ve earned it and some.
TALK YO SHIT
Talk your shit
Sir, it would appear you are talking your shit and being yourself
Jalen can talk as much shit as he wants moving forward and everybody is just going to nod because he.. is.. the.. man.
Incredible player, really did not want to lose this game at San Antonio. He was taking that trophy no matter what.
Dude is so stoic and locked in during any game…good to see him smile and enjoy the moment. He’s a two time NCAA champion so he gets it..but after every game even the OG tip in..he was like “job is not done…next game” big smiles from him now which is cool!
My 6 ft 1A champion, give him his flowers!!
Wait why didn’t he do the Tatum corny shit when he spoke tonight
Really wanted him to talk shit haha
Talk your shit player 👑
Talk your shit and rub your nutsack all over Becky’s face
I want OG to talk some shit!
Talking shit in a bedazzled t shirt would be different. NBA did the Knicks dirty.
Any other day, be yourself. BUT TODAY…
King of New York!
Incredible series, he deserves his flowers
Spit yo game
Talk yo shit
Grab yo gat
Call yo clique
The absolute best part of your team winning the finals is talking your shit all summer
Those trophies might as well be his balls. Good for you, J.
As a Mavs fan, yes I was salty about Brunson leaving for New York. Looking back now, it only made sense for wanting to be that guy to lead his own team instead of being in someone else’s shadow. Especially since the Mavs org obviously showed favoritism towards Luka.
Congrats Brunson, well deserved.
i want to kiss him on the lips i want to hug him and hold and never let go
Brunson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Luka
Talk your shit, King 👑
“Go shower.” 🤣🤣🤣
Talk your shit, king.
As a Lakers fan I’m really happy for the Knick’s. Shoutout to Josh Hart and Jordan Clarkson for getting a ring. Also, Jalen Brunson man. What a stud.
Those shirts are so hideous
Jalen Brunson, born to play basketball! Talk that shit
Really happy for him. This should shut a lot of fools up 👏❤️👏
Am I the only one who things the “nets” on these Larry David trophies and the mvp trophy look so horrendous. It makes the trophy look like plastic or something. Just make it all gold. Simple, timeless, no ornament.
I think they’re pretty, pretty good
Yes these Larry David trophies are funny. The Larry O’Brien ones, not as much
Talk yo shit king :‘)
Kanye at the end of “We Major”
As a Phoenix Suns fan, I got my glimpse of Brunson as he kicked the Suns and Bookers ass and out of the playoffs. He was amazing on both ends of the court. I hated him then (but respected him). Now he is one of my favorite players. The amount of work he does throughout the gave with top-notch, very physical players guarding him, double and triple teams, I am amazed he has the energy to finally put up a shot. Amazing!
Legendary
How good are the Atlanta Hawks 😳
Always talk shit! You earned it 🧡💙
I wish he did talk his shit
Him, OG, Kat, Josh, and bridges will never have to pay a tab in this state. Legends forever. Talk your ishhh JB, they talked all their doubting ishhh about you.
Well you can you deserved it.
Just like Wemby should lose with class (he didn’t), Brunson should win with class
Brunson is the literal definition of class
Not if you’re “talking shit” no? Unless he was just joking
Eat it small markets
Lmfao what a cornball ass comment
