00:00Rick Brunson is still part of the coaching staff. He's helped Jalen Brunson in his youth, now as an adult.

00:05What's the dynamic now as the father-son dynamic, but it's also father-coach as well, to player-coach I should say there.

00:12How does that work out with still your dad?

00:15Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously it's changed. Jalen is now a superstar and a father and a grown-up himself.

00:21So the father-son dynamic has obviously changed, but he still, if you watch the games,

00:26Rick is the guy still warming up Jalen before every game.

00:29They go through the same routine, he's still the guy.

00:32If you watch him, Jalen might be getting a little upset at the referees, and it's getting a little out of control.

00:37Guess who's the one that goes talk to him and talks him out of it?

00:40It's still Rick.

00:41So I think you still see Jalen trusting Rick above anybody else, and that makes sense.

00:46That's his father. That's the guy who taught him from the very beginning.
