After a prolonged search for a standout leader, the New York Knicks have finally found their star in Jalen Brunson, who has stepped up to fill the void left since former perennial NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony‘s days.
The journey to find such a player saw moments of promise with Kristaps Porzingis and Julius Randle, but it’s Brunson who has truly captured the essence of what the Knicks have been missing.
“For him to be at the helm of that right now, running the show, scoring 61s & having this run he’s having––it’s incredible to watch, to be honest with you,” Anthony said.
