Former Memphis Grizzlies guard Gilbert Arenas compares New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson to Los Angeles Lakers legend

Johnny Jackson, after playing his senior season while going through chemotherapy, received a surprise invitation to Madison Square Garden from Knicks star Jalen Brunson.

On Monday, Brunson became the highest scorer in fourth quarters through the first 10 games of a playoffs since 1997, eclipsing Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry. He’s only the fifth player in the last 50 years to average 30 and eight through the same span.

Bryant twice scored 100 fourth-quarter points in his first 10 playoff games, back in 2001 and 2003, and then added a 99-point run to open the 2008 playoffs. Stephen Curry likewise scored 99 in the first 10 games of the 2023 playoffs, but Brunson's fourth-quarter scoring pace has moved him past those two legends.

When the Knicks pulled off their biggest victory at MSG in decades Monday night, Jalen Brunson was urging his teammates to disperse rather than revel.

Led by Jalen Brunson's 39 points, the New York Knicks took down the Boston Celtics by the final score of 121-113 in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series on Monday night.

The Boston Celtics might have done a great job containing Jalen Brunson early in the Eastern Conference Finals. But they are aware of the threat the All-Star guard poses. The New York Knicks managed to take a 2-0 lead even though Brunson struggled to get buckets more than usual.

Jalen Brunson has found his shot in the fourth quarter of each game of this Eastern Conference semifinal series. But he has struggled in the first three periods.
