James Allen+FollowMike Brown put the media on notice: “Put Brunson’s name in the MVP convo — do your job.”After Brunson delivered on the biggest stage, Knicks coach Mike Brown didn’t mince words about the MVP conversation: “I hope now on this stage, when you start talking about MVP candidates his name is one of the first to come out your mouth… So you guys do your job.” That’s the whole argument in one quote: elite production + winning when it matters. Brunson’s been doing it, and the Cup run just made it impossible to brush off. So let’s actually do the job: Is Brunson a real MVP candidate this season?

Beth Holland+FollowJalen Brunson Had a Superstar Level Run in the NBA CupNBA Cup MVP Jalen Brunson in 6 tournament games: 33 PTS, 3 REB, 6 AST on 53/46/66 shooting splits (60.8% TS). That is absurd shot-making volume and efficiency over a whole mini-playoff run. When it comes to big offensive performances on a big stage, Brunson is now firmly in that top guard tier with big names like Steph, Luka and SGA. Different styles, same result: you can’t guard him one-on-one and you can’t afford to send soft help, because he’ll pick you apart. Where do you rank Brunson among the league’s best offensive guards after this? #JalenBrunson #Knicks #NBACup #NBA #NBADiscussion20Share

But honestly, who cares when you’re living your childhood dream in front of your hero? #Beauty #Knicks #JalenBrunson10Share
