John Wall had a theory about foul-baiting NBA stars. The former Washington Wizards point guard, who played the game with speed and force rather than shiftiness and guile, thought the playoffs were kryptonite for basketball’s most controversial manipulators.

Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the New York Knicks will take on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Jalen Brunson has been individually excellent despite his team going 0-2 in the Western Conference finals. Brunson had an impressive 40-point game in Game 1 and a 30-point double-double in Game 2 in the New York Knicks' loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Monday evening, a group of people from @lasttakeshow held an interesting competition among Knicks fans. They invited people to show up who thought they looked like the Knicks' star guard, Jalen Brunson.

After Game 1 of the WCF, Jalen Brunson's name was once again tossed into a discussion that has become exhausting.

Coco Gauff's former coach, Brad Gilbert, criticized NBA referees for alleged double standards in how Steph Curry was officiated compared to "foul hunters" Jalen Brunson and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The Knicks go as Brunson does. Somehow, each New York squad ends up absorbing bits and pieces of his personality.
