Summary
Jalen Brunson exploded in the 2022 playoffs, averaging nearly 28 points while carrying the Mavericks after Luka Doncic’s injury, proving he could be a franchise cornerstone. His breakout performance made him a coveted free agent, ultimately landing him a four-year, $104 million deal with the Knicks — a massive leap from his previous role in Dallas. Despite earlier talks of a long-term extension with Dallas, the Mavericks ultimately couldn’t match his market value, and Brunson’s camp felt they’d missed their window. Now, Brunson is leading the Knicks to elite success, including an NBA Finals appearance, reshaping the franchise and silencing doubters everywhere.
