00:00next move closer to capturing this title debate has begun on the finals mvp at this point
00:05one reporter had a very interesting question for jalen brunson and how important it is for him to
00:11win the mvp your coach said you are the mvp candidate so which one is most important for
00:18you championship being mvp or peaceful celebration and peace entire world all or all of them
00:33um the most important thing for me is just over these next 48 hours just focusing on what we got
00:40to do to win game five you gotta love a great q a like that so jalen brunson is not
00:47worried today
00:48about mvp or a championship or world peace or what's coffee he's gonna order when he goes to
00:56cherry lawn his favorite place in westchester and i had a cherry lawn coffee in honor of our guy jalen
01:01brunson today and that by the way their caesar wrap fantastic the turkey wrap unbelievable but the tuna
01:08that that is next level fantastic jalen brunson is currently the favorite right now as we speak
01:15when it comes to the finals mvp and it goes noted that that's where it is if you go to
01:22draft kicks
01:22to me the finals mvp when i look at it is og and anobi and if i had a vote
01:32today og would be the guy
01:34and i think that if you start talking about a feel of the team and the play and the points
01:40per game and
01:41things that matter og and anobi absolutely right now today on friday would be the finals mvp and i
01:50love the way we phrase the question because that's how it needs to be framed right og and anobi has
01:57the
01:57greatest moments in nba finals history not only that but it was the moments beforehand and take a look at
02:05the final stats right and i think this is kind of important here look at og and the points per
02:11game
02:12look at the difference in the field goal percentage and anobi is just bombs away right now when it comes
02:18to the three point percentage rebounds i mean brunson's been amazing in terms of you know crashing the
02:25the boards from the guard position og obviously is superb on defense brunson's points per game
02:33they are more i also want to stress this when it comes to jalen brunson's i think this is important
02:38here when it comes to the topics for conversation right jalen brunson i let's say the series ended
02:47today we still have to play a game five and i'll tell you exactly how i think this is going
02:51to go for
02:52the mvp in a second if jalen brunson won the mvp after four games let's say the nba said you
02:58know
02:58what that was too good after wednesday night we're going to cancel the rest of the postseason finals
03:04are over we're going to give the larry o'brien trophy to the nicks and the rest of the nba
03:09finals
03:09are canceled if they gave it to brunson i i wouldn't agree with it the answer to the question is
03:16og and
03:17anobi but you can never go nuts whenever it's brunson this is not one of those and you'll find out
03:25who the frauds are in terms of the sports media and the internet tough guys and you know the people
03:31who just want to say hey look at me with a an opinion jalen brunson is always the heartbeat and
03:37heart and soul and best player and the mvp of the nicks now he might not be the mvp of
03:43the finals but
03:45he's always the mvp of the nicks and it's not like he's having a bad finals we just showed you
03:53the
03:53stats jalen brunson was the reason why the nicks won in game number one the vintage brunson burner so
04:01you can make a case today for brunson i would go with ananobi there's also a historical conversation
04:10and it goes back to steph curry and andre iguodala in terms of the mvp and how something will be
04:20viewed
04:21historically and that doesn't mean you just give it to jalen brunson because he's jalen brunson
04:27but i think that if it's even and a sports reporter who votes votes for jalen brunson for the mvp
04:36great that's fine it's not one of those when you start yelling i will say this for the sake of
04:42conversation carl anthony towns was the mvp after the first two games so and i'm not suggesting that
04:48cat is even in the mix now but i expect carl anthony towns to be the most dominant player on
04:55the floor
04:55for new york in game number five i mean there is a correlation when you look at the nicks winning
05:01the next all-time heater the next 13 game winning streak the nicks winning 14 of the last 15 games
05:07in
05:07the postseason and carl anthony towns the offense has gone through him so i could see cat being the mvp
05:16of
05:16game five and then if that's the case we'll see if the nicks win and they win a championship how
05:23brunson
05:24and ananobi ultimately play with that as a backdrop so this is a great topic for discussion it's
05:31obviously one where i think that og is the guy after four i do think that brunson is always always
05:37the
05:38answer when it comes to mvp for anything and everything when it comes to the nicks and the fact
05:44that we're having this conversation about this basketball team right here right now it's great for your sports soul
