Jalen Brunson Joins Michael Jordan on One of Basketball's Most Exclusive Lists
The New York Knicks captured their third NBA championship by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals, ending a 53-year title drought. The Knicks posted a 16-3 record in the playoffs, losing just once in their final 15 games, and finished with a staggering +283 point differential — the highest in a single postseason in league history, surpassing the 2017 Golden State Warriors' mark of +230.
Jalen Brunson's historic run placed him alongside Michael Jordan on one of basketball's most exclusive lists. The title also marked the eighth consecutive year with a different NBA champion, the longest streak without a repeat winner in league history.
