New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has highlighted the humility of star point guard Jalen Brunson as his standout quality.
Despite Brunson’s remarkable performances, including three consecutive 40-point games, Thibodeau emphasized that the guard remains grounded and focused on team success.
“The best part of Jalen is his humility… to be as humble as he is, I think that’s what makes him so special,” Thibodeau stated, acknowledging Brunson’s modesty amidst his individual achievements.
Brunson’s contributions have been instrumental in the Knicks’ success, particularly in the playoffs, where he is averaging impressive numbers.
With Brunson leading the charge, the Knicks currently hold a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
In Game 2 against the Pacers, Brunson once again showcased his scoring prowess, recording a team-high 29 points to propel the Knicks to victory.
Throughout the playoffs, Brunson has maintained remarkable consistency, averaging 35.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game while logging extensive minutes on the court.
