Jalen Brunson · Jalen Brunson arrived in New York four years ago and rewired the entire franchise's belief in itself. In Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs, with the Knicks trailing 83-73 inside eight minutes remaining, he takes over completely, breaking Willis Reed's Knicks Finals scoring record of 38 points and finishing with 45, including a go-ahead floater with roughly a minute left to break the tie. New York holds on 94-90 to claim its first title since 1973, and Brunson earns the Bill Russell Trophy as Finals MVP. · State of Mint
