"This is a Michael Jordan-esque performance." Brian Windhorst reacts to Jalen Brunson's role in the Knicks Finals victory 🏆

@WindhorstESPN brunson really went legendary on them. absolute cinema

@WindhorstESPN MJ-esque is a huge statement... but Brunson earned every bit of that praise.

@WindhorstESPN He is dying a little inside, that he has to talk good about the Knicks

@WindhorstESPN Notice how nobody ever says "_______ had a Lebron-esque performance".

@WindhorstESPN Also when people look back at this years ago they’ll see KAT had 2 points and fouled out which helps his case with legends That stuff doesn’t matter to me, but you can’t say pippen had a game like that with MJ

@WindhorstESPN Really is

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN 👌🏼😜

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN MJ-level mentality. Cold under pressure and built for the biggest stage.

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN Brunson did this on the road in a closeout game, tying MJ for one of the all-time great Finals clinchers.

@WindhorstESPN Dominance...

@WindhorstESPN He's making his own mark, so good!

@WindhorstESPN Windhorst actually said it. The fact that we’re even having the 'Jordan-esque' conversation about a Knicks guard is proof that the landscape of the league just changed. Can we finally stop looking for holes in his game and just admit he’s him?

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN It is!!!!

@WindhorstESPN The way he stayed calm makes me think he knew the ending already.

@WindhorstESPN MJ played defense

@WindhorstESPN Hahaha, and all of you idiots thought he wasn’t good enough, when he got traded, all of you should go on the tv and apologize

@WindhorstESPN Probably says more about the spurs than the Knicks let’s be honest here

@WindhorstESPN Brunson is him

@WindhorstESPN Big time respect to KAT Championship legacy

@WindhorstESPN Comparing Brunson to MJ is wild, but honestly, carrying the Knicks under that kind of New York pressure in the Finals makes it hard to argue. He is absolute box office right now.

@WindhorstESPN BEST SIGNING EVER!!

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN about damn time ESPN put some respect on his name. JB has MJ vibes

@WindhorstESPN 30‑foot crux on Eldo fingers dead‑hung breath held you nail it. that same fire burns when Brunson drops the game‑winner.

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN Knock that crap off….stop comparing guys of different era. A great player is a great player and need not be compared to anyone. It’s getting old already.

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN It was a LeBron esc performance

@WindhorstESPN @grok what’s your take on this post?

@WindhorstESPN

@WindhorstESPN brunson spent a whole career being underrated and cashed all of it in one june
