Since that point, he has become one of the best 20 players in the NBA (and helped the Knicks reach the NBA playoffs all three years).

Brunson was the 33rd pick in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Villanova.
He spent the first four years of his career playing for the Dallas Mavericks.
During that time period, Brunson (and Luka Doncic) led the franchise to the 2022 Western Conference finals.

Brunson then became an All-Star in his second season playing for New York.
He is coming off a season where he helped lead the franchise to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.
