Jalen Brunson gets into the holiday spirit by surprising his biggest fan with a wonderful moment

ByNBAUSA


After leading his team to a 125-132 victory against the Miami Heat in New York Nix Jalen Branson was in a great mood. Getting back into the win column after a 116-107 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers has a way of lifting a player’s spirits, especially after dropping a season-high 47 points. However, Brunson had extra motivation when he met someone, which happened before Sunday’s win, when the All-Star running back made the day for the fans.

Brunson greeted the young fan before Sunday’s Knicks win against the Heat, according to Mr. BuckBuck’s X, formerly Twitter.

“Jalen Brunson surprised one of his biggest fans before scoring a season-high 47 against the Heat,” the post read.

Then Brunson scored 47 points on 15-of-26 shooting, including 6-for-13 from deep. He also finished a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw line, with eight assists and three rebounds. Mikal Bridges added 24 points, including six 3-pointers, and OG Anunoby had 18 points and three assists.

Doc Nix All-Star Jalen Brunson denied foul play allegationsoffered advice to NBA guards who fall victim to foul-baiter tactics. For Brunson, defense comes down to discipline, as some fall into bullying traps set by savvy guards.

But Brunson doesn’t consider himself one of them, he said on The Underground Lounge podcast.

“I’m not a foul-mouthed hitter,” Brunson said. “I just play by the rules. Be disciplined defensively. Don’t reach.”

Brunson had his second 40+ point performance of the month as his offensive production picked up in mid-December. He is averaging 30.3 points on 49% shooting, including 38% from deep, 7.2 assists and 3.4 rebounds over his last 10 games this season.
