Jalen Brunson is a through-and-through Justin Bieber fan. The “Baby” singer had reached global recognition with his boyish charms and unique talent. Although he had to go through a rough patch, Bieber has once again risen. And when you have someone like Brunson attest to the fact, there is nothing more to say.

Joining comedian and host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brunson once again goes on a trip down memory lane. He talks about how he became a huge ‘Belieber’ as well as how it has helped his game.

Brunson’s love for Bieber is courtesy of his sister

Talking about his game rituals, Brunson says that maybe the one thing that gets overlooked but plays an important role is Justin’s songs. He says, “I think the one thing that’s a little obscure is I listen to Bieber before I run out.” Huge applause and screams follow his admission. All the while, Fallon looked as if he had a hard time trying to phrase his next words.

After all, he wouldn’t want to anger the Bieber army! Brunson, though, looked super proud to be part of the family of a worldwide sensation. He further explains that the whole credit goes to his sister, Erica, who introduced him to Justin Bieber. He was in college at the time.

His sister just randomly popped up and suggested that Brunson listen to the album “Purpose”. Even so, the Bieber ritual started quite unusually. When he was in his freshman year, the Knicks guard was shuffling through his music and Bieber came on. Surprisingly, they went on to win the National Championship.

Move to his junior year, and the same thing happened. And that’s when Jalen thought that this might actually be a “thing”. He hasn’t looked back since then. Although Bieber has been Brunson’s good luck charm, he admitted that he’s never met the young sensation yet. But, not everyone might be a fan of the All-Star’s Bieber love.

Villanova roommate of Jalen Brunson reveals his “annoying” habit

Everybody knows the friendship between Donte DiVincenzo and Jalen Brunson goes back to their college days. Roommates at Villanova and now, teammates at Knicks, their friendship has translated onto the court as well. But if there’s one thing that DiVincenzo would call Brunson out, it would be for his music.

Steve Popper, the Knicks writer for Newsday reported that Donte revealed one of the “annoying” quirks of the hard-nosed guard. “He likes Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, all that stuff. He would play that loud as well,” he said. DiVincenzo also says that Brunson is the loud one and he is the quiet one.

So while he is more than content to sit in a corner with his video games, that wouldn’t be ideal for the McDonald’s All-American. Brunson would keep probing and poking him until he started talking. Their relationship is one of the most beautiful friendships in the NBA!
