Jalen Brunson Opens Up On His Journey To Stardom
The New York Knicks have been looking for a star player ever since Carmelo Anthony left.
He was the last elite player the Knicks had, making an All-Star team all seven years he was with the Knicks.
The Knicks fell out of contention once Anthony left.
But one player is looking to help lead them back to the promised land.
That is former Dallas Maverick Jalen Brunson.
Brunson was drafted by the Mavericks in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft.
He was never able to flourish in Dallas, so he signed a massive contract with the Knicks this past offseason.
Brunson took off last year, setting a career-high in points, assists, and minutes per game.
According to New York Knicks on Twitter, an all-access feature about Brunson has been released on YouTube.

This will be an interesting look into Brunson and how he has dominated as a Knick.
Brunson fell out of the first round of the NBA draft because people said he was too small and slow.
Yet, none of that has seemingly affected Brunson during his career.
Brunson averaged 24.0 points per game to go along with 6.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds last season.
He even raised his game in the playoffs helping the Knicks get to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Brunson averaged 27.8 points in the playoffs over 11 games.
It certainly looks like the best is yet to come for the 27-year-old.
