He has one of the best footwork of all time. How he gets to his hook shots, fadeaways and step throughs is unstoppable. He can do a fake reverse spin fadeaway and use the step through wit even using a right hand layup off the glass as counters. His post game off the dribble is unstoppable, never seen anything like this. He has a ground bound style of game with not a lot of fancy stuff, just a bully ball style wit finesse. There’s a certain rhythm he has that gets defenders constantly off balance

Teams got to trap him & double him in order to stop him but sometimes he splits the double by doing that up & under step through move across the lane & he makes the shot over 2 guys. It’s hard to double Brunson, it seems like u got to double him from the top of the key & double him before he even makes a move or a shot. Also Coach Nick only broke down his midrange & post game arsenal but never broke down his 3 point shot. Brunson is also taking and making more 3s this year compared to last year, attempting 7 threes per game on 40% and he’s taking more pull up 3s & stepback 3s. Knicks can win it all wit the roster they have now and they maybe better without Randle cause Randle is a ball stopper that’s inefficient.

as a fellow guard who loves to score in the post, Jalen Brunson became my fav player when he was in Dallas. I was SHOCKED they let him go

He's become an absolute monster! I'm supporting him and the Knicks in the eastern conference this season! Really happy for him!

Buddy crafty and has great feel for the game, Back in the day play style with a modern day twist

There's the Sistine Chapel. And then there's Jalen Brunson's footwork and the speed with which he makes decisions in the paint to give himself a chance to score. That's something even someone who doesn't really get the sophisticated details of basketball can see - with his mouth open. Nothing gives me more joy than watching him go to work - and hard work it is. No individual payer since I became a fan - '68 - has me shaking my he'd so often that I need a neck brace. The world sucks. Jalen Brunson is an artist who has the chance to create a masterpiece every time down the floor. I wanted 40.

Coach KNick! 🔥🙌

Brunson is a player who has great fundamentals. again and again, players who have that are very successful. it may not be as flashy for some people (it is for me though) nobody can negate effects of players like Brunson, Luka and TheBigFundamental Duncan. While Duncan is in HOF, Luka probably is already in it if he stops playing today, if Brunson continues this trajectory in the future he will be in as well. Coaches of young players should take notice of that. What Mavs were thinking when they let him go is beyond me...

I remember watching him in dallas when he got drafted, second round and with luca in front of him and I was always shocked with how good the little man was for a second rounder, doing a lot of the same stuff luca was doing...

Perfect timing Brunson just smoked 🚬 the Celtics in their house 😂

Hi Coach Nick, thanks for showing Brunson's "post up / inside " game where his strength, quickness, touch , footwork and lower center of gravity are masterfully put together ! Looks are deceiving but results are in your face ! ha ha

Andre miller and Baron used to do this. Imagine Brunson does and is left handed and also can shoot the three off the dribble.

Best free agent signing ever 👍🏼👍🏾👍🏼👍🏾👍🏼 I saw him snapping for the Mavs that one post season but I never thought he was this good my goodness!

Love this kid you never ceases to amaze me

Hi Coach, been waiting for this reason and actual reason to watch the Knicks for a long time. It looks like they finally got something going here. I still feel they are one high quality player short from being a real contender. If they can get KD for a reasonable price, it has to be considered. It takes about 2 1/2 all-stars to win a ring imo.

ahh finally coach nick doing a knicks vid. JB FOR MAYOR

This has always been part of my game ever since losing my quickness.

U really need someone strong enough to able to absorb contact frim him but also wuick enough to keep him in front. But u also need someone disciplined to stay patient through those step thrus. This guy is a unique point guard talent

He is the best player on the team since his signing (even though somehow before this year only randle was an all star) but he is also their soul and heart. He gives his all during the playoff he is tough ,he is incredibly skilled and crafty he just made me fell in love with the player. He is the kind of player that you know everything will be good as long as he's on the team. ~A Knicks fan whose hopes were brought back by Brunson

This is how you play on 2k when you’re speed and speed w/ ball are low but you have the giant slayer badge

Never thought I’d get to see this vid 🥲

At some point from 14-16 I had a mad step through game. Somehow I lost it and getting it back is hard. It requires repetition in practice. Thats probably it. I probably stopped practicing it in downtime. Always got made respect for Hakeem and Brunson for that footwork.

It's impossible to guard someone that can be lefty or righty faster than the speed of thought. It takes a decade to be good enough to master it under the lights and whistle.

He reminds me a lot of tony Parker. Or a smaller, craftier jimmy Butler. I have high hopes for this knicks team and wouldnt be surprised if they make it to the conference finals. That might require beating philly and Milwaukee but i feel that is possible.

thanks

Brunson always been nice in the post so nice to see in todays NBA. Truly an elite player

His footwork in the post is unique for a guard. He reminds me of Hakeem with some of his post moves.

In my 40s and using Brunson's moves. Post game was neglected as a guard. Love him

I hate when my Kings play this guy. He is so good!!!

Anthony Edwards has been adding this to his game. I don't think his moves are as clean and as varied as Brunson yet, but he's working on it. Definitely likes the fadeaway.

Guard post ups will reintroduce big paint isolations

Every game is a Jalen Brunson legacy game at this point. His scoring and IQ are both so good and even for a small guard his defense is solid. He can take a charge and he's completely unstoppable. I'm not even a knicks fan but I really want to see him lead the Knicks to a championship. Jalen Brunson is him and nobody stands a chance against him.

It's a good analysis on his post game though, I thought Jrue Holiday has been doing some of that. Whether Brunson can keep this up in the playoffs when teams scheme on it & put pressure on him on the defensive end remains to be seen.

Coach Jay Wright made all his players do pure footwork drills during practice. Brunson quoted him that he said “you might not incorporate foot work into your game but it’s an important skill to have at your disposal” Brunson based his game around what he learned

When you going to do a video on OKC and the Thunder, Coach?

It’s a mentality with the post up step through isos

"When is the league gonna catch up? Pretty soon." Maybe. Maybe not. Jalen reads and reacts to his opponent's moves. He has a counter for any situation, or at least that's what I see.

he aight!

So interesting to see how many of those moves are similar to what Luka does.

What does the NBA rule book say about shoulder checking the defender with all your weight over and over? I see Giannis doing it too and wondering how this is legal?

Idk if Brunson becomes THIS good-or gets the chance to demonstrate it-playing 2nd to Luka but letting him walk for literally nothing in return when you could’ve locked him up through 2026 at $11M/year?

And we still don’t know if there will be future consequences that’ll be traced directly back to that decision. You’ve already had to spend your entire decade’s draft capital to in part overcome letting Jalen walk just to finally put some pieces around Luka. That’s a massive sunk cost.
