The NBA playoffs have been full of some amazing work by tremendous basketball stars but one of them is rising above the rest, according to Shannon Sharpe.
Speaking on “First Take,” Sharpe threw his support behind Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks and called him “unbelievable.”
He praised Brunson for his ability to score over other opponents despite his size.
At six-foot-two, Brunson is capable of posting impressive buckets over players who are much bigger and more physically intimidating than him.
“They’ve both been very, very impressive, but what Jalen Brunson doing is unbelievable. … It’s Jalen Brunson or bust.”

The Knicks star has been averaging 36.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game in the postseason and has helped his team deliver amazing game after amazing game.
Brunson has been phenomenal all season long, averaging 28.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game.
He has helped the team get even better and more competitive and they are now turning their regular-season success into playoff greatness.
Now there are plenty of people who think the Knicks have what it takes to reach the Eastern Conference Finals and maybe beyond.
During Monday night’s Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers, Brunson posted 43 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists.
It was his fourth game in a row that he scored more than 40 points, which is a huge feat during the playoffs.
Brunson might not be as big as the other guys on the court but he plays like a man who is seven feet tall.
Every postseason, there are several NBA stars who step up and shine brighter than during the regular season.
This year, it looks like Brunson is one of those people and he is helping his team impress everyone across the league.
