Jalen Brunson has established himself among the most popular New York Knicks stars of all time.

He is coming off an excellent year where he made his first NBA All-Star Game and averaged 28.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists per contest while shooting 47.9% from the field and 40.1% from the three-point range in 77 games.

Recently, Brunson signed a contract extension with New York that gives the team a lot of flexibility.

Brunson was initially the 33rd pick in the 2018 NBA Draft after three seasons of college basketball at Villanova.

He helped lead the Wildcats to two NCAA Championships.

With the Knicks, Brunson is teammates with Donte DiVincenzo, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart, who were all with him at different points during his college career.

They reached the NBA playoffs for the second straight season, but lost to Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the second round.
