Through this round of playoff performances, everyone has completely recognized the strength of Brunson's player. You might have questioned Brunson as the No. 1 quarterback, but I'm sure no one will question this series.
In the last 4 games, Brunson scored 39 points and 13 assists, 47 points and 10 assists, 40 points and 6 assists, 41 points and 12 assists, and averaged 41+10 per game in four consecutive games under the intensity of the playoffs. With such an explosive performance, the last one to do it was Jordan, who else can do it today?
Brunson averaged 28.7 points and 6.7 assists per game in the regular season this season, showing the ability to be a top scorer and also had a 61-point performance in a single game. Heading into the playoffs, he went even crazier and could lock in a first-round series best.
