foxnews.comBreiden Fehoko posted on X that Jalen Brunson is the greatest New York Knick of all time. Fehoko, a former LSU teammate of quarterback Joe Burrow, made the statement after the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals. Brunson scored 45 points in Game 5 on 14-of-27 shooting and was named Finals MVP.
The Knicks ended a 53-year title drought with the 2026 championship. Brunson’s performance placed him in conversations with franchise figures Willis Reed and Walt Frazier, both of whom won two titles, and Patrick Ewing, who holds several franchise statistical records without a championship.
Fehoko’s post came shortly after the series ended. The statement highlighted Brunson’s role as the primary offensive option on a title-winning team.
Reed led two championship teams and earned two Finals MVP awards. Frazier contributed elite guard play and defense during the same era. Ewing played 15 seasons and remains the franchise’s career leader in several categories. Brunson has one championship and one Finals MVP. He does not yet match Reed and Frazier’s two-ring totals or Ewing’s longevity.
