    He has been really good, but MVP chants because he had back to back 30 point games? After having James Harden that seems so absolutely absurd to me. When James had a 30 point game it was an off night.

    There’s been mvp chants across the league for much less. He’s been the Knicks best player all year long. This also has nothing to do with harden whatsoever

    KPJ-esque. Uncanny how similar those two are.

    True. I remember thinking, what happened? Maybe it was a blow out and they sat him early, then I'd look at the box score to confirm.

    Oh I understand. I'm just comparing one scorer/play maker with suspect defense to another. And Jalen Brunson is a small fraction of what James was in his prime.

    Brunson is beloved by Knicks fans and the Knicks haven’t had good PG play in like 2 decades…the MVP chants are a little tongue-in-cheek, but I get it

    they’re just showing their appreciation for how he’s balling out for them

    If Gary Matthews can get MVP chants, so can Jalen Brunson.

    the most unbelievable part of this clip is that there was actually chanting at TC…about as rare as seeing Bigfoot or the Chupacabra

    A good overall representation how our fanbase is obsessed with scrubs, up to the front office (Daishen Nix anybody?).

    Because people are freaking out and doing MVP chants about back to back 30 point games as if that is impressive, when I, as a Rockets fan, have been lucky enough to be spoiled by Harden into thinking that is a relatively pedestrian accomplishment.

    WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME ON VALENTINE'S DAY? ARE WE BREAKING UP?!?!

    Being in the NBA is impressive. Only 450 people, out of all of the billions of the people in the world, are in the league at any given time. BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD GET MVP CHANTS!

    One thing ive noticed about brunson is he gets the best whistle in the game. Maybe only behind giannis and embiid

    Ive never seen someone get so many late calls every game and more often then not from absolutely no contact
