Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Brunson, after all, his performance in the playoffs this year can be called the "King of New York"! Indeed, maintaining the highest points per game in the playoffs this season and repeatedly keeping the Knicks alive with injuries from the first round to the semifinals is the performance and responsibility of a team leader. And this also reminded many fans of the former Anthony, after all, he was also the leader of this team back then, and he could also be called the "King of New York" at that time.
For this reason, if we compare Brunson and Anthony, do you think Brunson has surpassed Anthony in the history of the team in terms of playoff performance? To this end, let's compare the scores, it is worth mentioning that Melon has played 3 playoff games with the New York Knicks, and Brunson is currently 2 times, and the following is a direct comparison of the data.
Brunson: 617 points
Brunson has been involved in the playoffs for two seasons with the Knicks, and in the 2022-23 season, he led the Knicks to 11 playoff games, scoring 306 points. This season, the Knicks have played 9 playoff games, and Brunson has scored 311 points, so his current total playoff points in the Knicks are 617 points!
Anthony: 589 points
Melon has made the playoffs three times in his Knicks career, in the 2010-13 season, with four games, five games and 12 games in three consecutive seasons, scoring 104 points, 139 points and 346 points! It has repeatedly encountered James's Miami Heat, and it is difficult to break through in the playoffs! In the Knicks' playoff career, he scored 589 points!
Statistically, Brunson's two seasons of playoff play are already higher than Anthony's Knicks playoff career total, but neither has really proven themselves in the playoffs in New York and failed to help the team win a championship, so it's hard to compare who is greater? Of course, the Knicks still have a chance to compete for a championship this season, and they are currently 2-1 ahead of the Pacers in the semifinals, so it's worth looking forward to Brunson's next performance.
