00:00Tell me about Jalen Brunson.
00:02How surprised have you been?
00:04Here's a second-round pick, Oak.
00:06All of a sudden now, he looks like he's one of the elite guys
00:09that's in the league right now.
00:12I mean, have you been surprised his development and his leadership
00:16and what he's doing for this basketball team?
00:19Well, you know, it started in Dallas when he got a chance in the playoff.
00:23I think he had 41 games, and he just came here to be a free agent.
00:26But coming to New York, I didn't expect he was going to do all of this,
00:29but he's doing it all.
00:31He's been consistent.
00:32I think two years ago I said he probably was the second-best player
00:35to fly a frazier, and I got some slack back on that.
00:39But what he had done the last two years,
00:42I think people are going to erase that and put it in number two.
00:44Then you go with Patrick.
00:46And I think that he has set this role for getting off the ball a little.
00:51And I think for the defense, they picked it up after the Atlanta series.
00:54The defense has been over the top.
00:55They've been playing really hard.
00:57But the bench has been a plus for them.
00:58The bench has been coming in.
01:00They've been great all the time.
01:01But, like, you see when they play against Philly and how they guard Philly,
01:05how they guard Cleveland.
01:07I think that Cleveland is just – I think it's over Cleveland.
01:10I'm from Cleveland.
01:11But Cleveland don't have energy.
01:12They don't have no defensive concept.
01:14I don't see no wings guys on their team.
01:16So they're in trouble playing an athletic team.
01:20If Jalen Brunson wins an NBA championship, Oak, would you make him the number one Nick of all time?
01:29The way he's doing it, I probably might have to.
01:32You know, everything is meant to be broken and people can change places.
01:35But what he's doing at his size, you know, I know Clyde could score a rebound defense.
01:41But at his size, not a great athlete.
01:44Understand the floor.
01:45Understand what he can do and what he can't do.
01:47Night in, night out.
01:48You might have to.
01:49He's definitely going to have the key to the city.
01:51Night in, night out.
