Why Matt Barnes Believes Jalen Brunson Still Has to Prove Himself Among Small Guard Legends
So here’s a curious twist: Jalen Brunson just ended the New York Knicks’ 53-year championship drought, snagging Finals MVP honors with a dazzling run, yet former NBA forward and podcaster Matt Barnes isn’t quite ready to tag him among the small-guard GOATs. Seriously, after a 45-point masterpiece to clinch the title and a 32.6 PPG average in the Finals, how does a guy not leap into that conversation?

Meanwhile, Brunson was celebrating by throwing out the first pitch for the Yankees (an interesting crossover if you ask me) — are we seeing the birth of a two-sport legend here? And with Alicia Keys set to belt it out at the Knicks’ parade, the city’s vibe is electric, but has Brunson still got the mileage to outrun the likes of Allen Iverson? The season’s over, the party’s just starting — but the GOAT debate? Oh, it’s only warming up. LEARN MORE.
