Brunson has quietly put together one of the longest stretches of postseason dominance by a point guard in recent memory. Since May 2023, Brunson has played 56 playoff games. He has not averaged under 25 PPG in a single series, and he has not scored fewer than 15 points in a single game.

Jalen Brunson over his last 10 playoff series:

2023 ECS: 31.0 PPG / 5.5 RPG / 6.3 APG

2024 EC1: 35.5 PPG / 4.5 RPG / 9.0 APG

2024 ECS: 29.7 PPG / 2.3 RPG / 6.1 APG

2025 EC1: 31.5 PPG / 4.0 RPG / 8.2 APG

2025 ECS: 26.2 PPG / 3.8 RPG / 7.2 APG

2025 ECF: 30.7 PPG / 2.5 RPG / 5.7 APG

2026 EC1: 26.3 PPG / 2.5 RPG / 6.2 APG

2026 ECS: 29.0 PPG / 2.8 RPG / 6.0 APG

2026 ECF: 25.5 PPG / 3.3 RPG / 7.8 APG

2026 Finals: 32.6 PPG / 4.2 RPG / 4.6 APG

Combined: 29.9 PPG / 3.5 RPG / 6.7 APG, 38.5 MPG on .462 FG / .348 3P / .833 FT, .572 TS%,

Brunson now sits 57th on the all time playoff scoring list with 2,240 points. Another deep run puts him in the top 40. How high do you think he finishes when it is all said and done?

Legendary free agent signing and no one even saw it coming.

In some order:

Shaq to LA
Lebron to Miami
Lebron back to Cleveland
KD to the Warriors
Brunson to the Knicks
Moses to the Sixers
Nash to the Suns
Chauncey to the Pistons

I think you could argue Brunson as high as 4 on that list already over KD to the Warriors or Moses to the Sixers. Both of those teams were already title contenders (and the Warriors had already broken through).

I’d put Nash to the Suns over the Brunson signing. Nash took the Suns from 29 wins to 62 wins in one season and led some of the greatest offenses ever

Not even close when it didn’t result in a ring. Also Nash was at least a known commodity vs Brunson who never saw this coming.

Livid-Cardiologist94 | Lakers

Rings aren’t everything though, it’s not like Nash is the reason they didn’t win. And yes, Nash was known as a good player, but no one thought he was going to have one of the best offensive stretches in the history of the league and nearly threepeat as mvp

Guy almost got a team with Donte Divincenzo as his second option and Precious Achiuwa starting to the ECF yet he’s still stupidly underrated lol

Thibs really started a Hart-Precious-Hartenstein front court in multiple playoff games, Mike Brown saved my life

Brunson is very good at adapting and punishing his defenders habits over a series.

Will say the Knicks offense though is at its scariest when Brunson relaxes on the helio guard over dribbling and moves off ball, more offense through KAT and OG

ProfessionalAct9029 | Knicks

What we saw in the finals is that the very best defenses can shut down all the ball movement and make it hard for our secondary scorers to hit shots. When they do that, Brunson still finds a way.

MrWolfsbane | Knicks

Yeah but the offense through KAT and OG doesn’t work against really good defenses because their handles aren’t good enough

SmokyMetal060 | Knicks

Yeah the helio guard thing works when Brunson’s rolling, but when he’s a little off and the entire offense is drawn up that way, it can be painful to watch. Thibs lived and died by Brunson hero ball. Mike Brown was willing to switch up who the bus driver was at any given time and that’s why they got over the hump imo.

Ah yes the 6’ 1” second round pick guard is totally overrated

I think the point is he’s properly rated now. Any logical fan knows how good Brunson is

CodymartinSimp

I didn’t say he was overrated and none of those things have anything to do with how he’s currently viewed which is very highly he is not underrated in anyway

At this point, I think most NBA fans understand that Brunson is a demon in the playoffs.

For what it’s worth there’s literally a player from his draft class who’s averaged 30.9 PPG / 9.2 RPG / 7.8 APG on .573 TS% over his last 10 playoff series (55 games).

How does this affect LeBron’s legacy?

MrWolfsbane | Knicks

2 | 44 minutes ago

It did alter LeBron’s career tbf. Brunson being clutch won the Knicks the finals and meant LeBron never considered going to the Knicks this offseason (which rich Paul said he would have) and instead went to Philly

I think he only plays 1, maybe 2 more years before retiring so he’ll get in the top 40

The guy who’s only turning 30 and relies on finesse is gonna retire soon?
