In a league full of “floppers,” Bill Simmons thinks New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson is in a league of his own.
Los Angeles takes on the New York Knicks after James Harden scored 50 points in the Los Angeles Clippers' 123-115 win against the Detroit Pistons.
This isn’t an injury the Knicks are built to withstand. The captain has gone down. Now who will steer New York’s ship if Jalen Brunson can’t go?
Brunson and Harden have similar player profiles: Lefty, ball-dominant guard with a good 3-point shock and a knack for getting to the hoop. New York will be without Brunson Friday, meaning someone else will have to step up as New York’s leading scorer.
