Defeating a Gianni's less Bucks is not that impressive.

Bucks were basically a .500 team after they fired their rookie coach earlier in the season with Giannis playing. The Bucks weren't that good this year with Giannis.

Doesn't really matter. Both are using the biggest stage to showcase their elite talent and raising their star profile. This is fantastic for the game.

As great and as much depth as the Knicks have, ANT has a fully healthy squad with another all star in KAT, the DPoY in Rudy, and the 6th MoY in Naz. This makes Jalen Brunson's postseason more impressive since Julius is injured, Bogy is injured, and Mitch Robinson is possibly injured and not playing for the rest of the playoffs (thanks to Embiitch)

I’m a Knicks fan…and while I agree that Jalen shoulders more responsibility offensively because he’s literally the only non role player on the roster, you also have to look who NY is beating & who Minnesota is beating…Ant dominating in the West versus KD/Booker/Beal & now the defending champs is much more impressive than Brunson versus a watered down Eastern Conference…Philly had a broke down Embiid who was probably at 50%, they had no reliable 3rd player & the Knicks mainly won that series because of offensive rebounding & hustle plays not Brunson. Ant >> Brunson and it’s not close!
This is dumb cause both are equally playing great.

Both are wonderful different styles and I love the new era
The first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was: “This is so petty “
Ant has had an amazing run so far. But Jalen's run has been historically great. Jalen all day every day.
I would start the team with Jalen, ever day of the week sir.....but they are really not comparable.
ESPN, GREAT SEGMENT 10/10 all great points even by windy, bravo guys
Thing is Ant Man is a complete menace on defense and making game changing plays on both ends. Brunson is 5 years older and isn’t doing what Ant is on defense, and Brunson gets a WAYYY better whistle.

Saying Brunson gets a “WAYYY” better whistle is the understatement of the decade.
1:18 grew up watching high school basketball in chicago. Watched Jabari Parker and Jahlil Okafor when they were considered the top players in their class. Nobody was close to as good as Jalen Brunson - looked like his competition was playing in slow motion. Won a state championship, won ncaa championships, won the wooden award. Always expected him to be an NBA star

You have to take everything into account, one is playing in the one of the toughest West teams in a while while the other one is playing in the East riddle with injuries. One is arguably the best 2 way guard in the league while the other one is a scoring machine.
They've both been impressive, so why does this have to be some competition?

Well, at this rate Ant may be on his way to Finals mvp if the wolves keep this up. I can’t see the knicks realistically beating Boston in 7 games.
Both Brunson and antman have been amazing but Brunson is putting up Jordan type numbers and has tied Jordan with 40 plus point games in the playoffs over 4-5 games either way it’s great seeing the next stars of this league

The Knicks will need to pick up a free agent center in the summer. They should consider Nola Vucevic Brook Lopez and or Jonas Valancuiunus.
Why is not having clutch stats impactful in this argument? Because Ant leads his team to 20 point 3rd quarter leads is DEFINITELY not a negative factor in this

Look at Brunson team and look at Ants… Brunson is shouldering a way bigger roll than Ant.. With that being said Ant will be the face of the league
Ant is the better player but Brunson has been more impressive with what he has to work with right now. Not to mention doing it on the biggest stage in the league makes it even more impressive.
I'm going with Brunson, he's carrying the knicks right now, while Ant has a team.
Knicks fan til I die. JB should be MVP. Ant Man is the second coming of MJ! Closest thing I’ve seen.
Anyone who says they didn’t see this coming did not watch the Knicks season lol.
windy doesnt want to look stupid for callin brunson nothing when knicks paid for him Windy is a clown and just wont admit
Brunson has just won the MVP this year. He has been the Best player all year. Bought the Knicks to a #2 seed. Balled out the last 10 games of the year and has showed out in the playoffs. It's a done deal
That left hand of Brunson ⏯️confuses the defenders.
Only reason there even talking about Brunson is because he plays for a big market team and they have to..Ants only 22..let me say that again..Ants "ONLY" 22..and he's doing everything he's doing..and he is DEFINITELY CLUTCH!!

I saw this coming. Once i seen the Mavs trying to hide his talents for YEARS but then he was still ready when the ungrateful mavs needed when Luka got injured in the playoffs and Brunson single handedly won that series and saved the mavs. Even after they benched him and tried to ruined his free agency so they could resign him on the low. People dont realize how nasty of a businessman mark cuban is. They fall for the smile and commercials.
This is what happens when the NBA finds out other teams exist.
Randle coming back next season to take 25 shots..brunson qont be able to keep it up
Picking brunson over Ant fkn hilarious
I completely disagree with this notion he had a better post season than Ant and i'm a knicks fan. Brunson is being forced to doing this due to injuries and will only increase risk of injury himself. The east is a easier conference than west so it just making the appearance that he's having a more impressive post season where as ANT is superior offensively, defensively in the toughest conference and destroying the champs in a shocking way. Knicks need more than Brunson 40 point nights to win now that we lost 3 players for the rest of the season.
