Jalen Brunson’s MVP-winning performance in the Knicks’ NBA Finals win
Brunson was named NBA Finals MVP after the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games. He averaged 32.6 points per game in the series, and his Game 5 performance was the cherry on top.
He scored a series-high 45 points while making more than half of his shots. While he wasn’t always his most efficient self, Brunson was the captain of the team. He still willed the team back from being down by as much as 29 points in Game 4, which they won off a miraculous tip-in by OG Anunoby.
New York had a dominant run to the NBA Finals. After the Atlanta Hawks took them to six games in the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks swept their next two opponents, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their 13-game win streak was snapped by the Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
The championship win capped off Brunson’s fourth year in New York. He has led the Knicks to the postseason in all four of his years with the team. They reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2025, but they lost to the Indiana Pacers.
During his time with the Knicks, Brunson has been named to three All-Star teams and has received three All-NBA Second Team honors.
