Jalen Brunson decided to share his NBA Cup MVP award with his New York Knicks teammates.

“We wouldn’t have won anything without them.…We got down 10 or whatever it was and, uh, you know, we found a way to win and that’s it. Now, we’re going to find a way and that’s going to be our model going forward. We’re going to find a way”. Brunson said.

The point guard scored 25 points with 8 assists in the final against the Spurs.

“They just told me to be myself. They got the utmost confidence in me, the coaching staff, uh the organization, this fan base, all of them collectively. I mean, without them, I wouldn’t be here. It was one of our goal, a step, but we have a long way to go”.

25 PTS, 4 REB, 8 AST, and a win 🏆
