After a one-day break, the NBA is about to usher in a 15-game regular season boom, which also marks the end of the regular season season. Currently, the top three teams in the East are the Celtics, Bucks and Knicks, and the Knicks will face the sixth-ranked Pacers in the first round of the playoffs, which is in the spotlight.
Just during the off-season, Knicks player Brunson's performance was in the spotlight. In the last six games, he has averaged 37.8 points and 8.8 assists per game, shooting 52 percent from the field and 46 percent from three-point range. His outstanding performances have led to concerns about his future contract extensions. According to reports, the Knicks could give Brunson a four-year, $156.5 million contract extension this summer, and by the summer of 2025, he is expected to receive a five-year, $260 million contract.
Critics also have different opinions about Brunson's performance and future. There is an argument that the Knicks may not give him a higher contract if he doesn't perform well in the playoffs, so Brunson will need to continue to prove himself in the upcoming games.
Although Brunson is only 1.85m tall, his strength and performance have already made people look forward to his future. He ranks 7th in the league in offensive efficiency and 7th in the league in plus/minus per game (6.7).
Whether the Knicks can do well in the playoffs and whether Brunson can continue to perform at a high level will be the focus of fans. Looking forward to seeing the Knicks perform in the playoffs!
