Mark Jackson objects to the idea of Jalen Brunson standing as the greatest New York Knicks since Walt 'Clyde' Frazier.
Jalen Brunson is the talk of this metropolitan town and rightfully so: Brunson is the current leader among active NBA playoff scorers, averaging 35.5 points in a six-game series win over the Philadelphia 76ers, and has the Knicks engaged in their most realistic and hopeful attempt at an NBA title in quite some time.
But one former Knick isn't blinded by apparent recency bias: longtime NBA veteran/analyst Mark Jackson took advantage of Knicks legend Patrick Ewing's visit to his web series to make his case for Ewing's inclusion among the greatest New Yorkers, claiming Brunson still has a bit to learn if he's going to be included in the same category as No. 33.
"You put everybody that ever played in the blue and orange and you put them on the draft board, the No. 1 pick is Patrick Ewing."
