Jalen Brunson has established himself as one of the best players in the NBA. He entered the league as the No. 33 pick in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks in 2018. However, he silenced his critics by showcasing his elite skill set and ability to lead his team to greater heights.
The three-time All-Star guard has been one of the biggest reasons why the New York Knicks are up 2-0 in the NBA Finals. He has turned doubters to believers and likely made the teams that passed up on him regret their decision. New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo took notice of his interview on Sunday, where the Knicks star said that those who didn’t draft him missed “everything.”
Skattebo understands his situation as he was drafted atNo. 105 in the fourth round last year. He had a promising start to his rookie campaign, but sustained a dislocated ankle in Week 8 and missed the remainder of the season.
