Days After Starting New Trend, Annoyed Jalen Brunson Stares Down Knicks Star‘s Pizza Antics

After Brunson’s 50-point performance, former Warriors general manager Bob Myers may have taken a subtle shot at himself. While Brunson was walking off the floor, one of the announcers remarked on the general managers around the league who gave up on Brunson. That is when Bob Myers said, “Yeah, who are those guys? They’re probably out of work or probably doing TV.”

Jalen Brunson was the 33rd pick in the 2018 NBA draft. The Dallas Mavericks picked him up in the second round. However, even after consistently improving, Brunson was traded to the Knicks after four seasons with the Mavericks.

A total of 30 teams gave up on drafting Brunson in the 2018 draft. And the Warriors were one of them as well. No wonder Bob Myers indirectly took a shot on himself.

Will Brunson finally be an All-Star this year?

Jalen Brunson scored 50 points, setting a new career high for him. He also had 9 assists, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals for the game as well. The Knicks could easily take care of the Suns due to Brunson.

The Suns had all three All-Stars at the start of the game. Unfortunately, five minutes into the matchup, Bradley Beal ended up twisting his ankle after which he did not return to the floor, leading the Knicks to take over.
