Jalen Brunson has quickly become one of the most impressive players in the NBA.
After a few seasons of people talking about his potential, Brunson exploded in 2023.
He helped lead the New York Knicks on a playoff run, averaging 28.7 points and 6.7 assists per game.
Both of these averages were career highs for Brunson, and the Knicks awarded these performances with a massive contract extension.
While Brunson is a great athlete on the court, he appears to be a bit of a golf aficionado when he has time in the offseason.
He was recently on a golf course, and, as shared by the NBA via Clutch Points, was asked about the best golfers in the league.
It didn’t take long for him to come up with Steph Curry and Austin Reaves, giving them the nod for the best in the NBA.

Curry, of course, has participated in “The Match,” a two on two golf competition that has become increasingly popular.
Reaves’ golf prowess isn’t as well known, but at least in Brunson’s eyes, he’s one of the best.
While golf might be at the top of mind for Brunson in the offseason, he’ll have to quickly pivot to basketball.
The Knicks are hoping to get further in the playoffs this year than they did last year.
They have added a few key pieces in the offseason to help, but if they don’t play as one, cohesive unit, these changes might have been for naught.
It will be interesting to see how the Knicks fare, and if they’ll find a way to break through in a loaded Eastern Conference.
