## Resource

Jalen Brunson is breaking into TV big time—set to open the Emmys with a pre-taped segment, confirmed to guest on Law & Order: SVU, and soon to host Saturday Night Live, making him the first active NBA player in nearly 20 years to do so. His friendship with host Mariska Hargitay, whom he credits as a childhood role model, is deepening off the court, with their families bonding at events like the Knicks parade and Tribeca. Hargitay calls him “magnificent” and ready for his TV debut, while Brunson’s expanding entertainment career proves he’s got more than just basketball skills.
