Star guard Jalen Brunson was drafted in the NBA by the Dallas Mavericks in 2018 and was a part of the franchise till 2022.

Brunson signed a $104 million contract with the New York-based team three years ago, and has made an undeniable influence on the franchise. 

Named as the NBA Clutch Player of the Year 2025, Brunson became an integral piece for the franchise that they had been missing all through the years.

After finishing his debut season in New York at an average of 24.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists, he went on to record an average 28.7 points in the previous season. In the current season, the 28-year-old is maintaining an average of 26.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 7.3 assists. 

He has a Player Efficiency Rate of 21.6 for the past season, and he finished on the tenth spot in the list of highest scorers. Not only this, but he also sits second on the list of top playoff 2025 scorers with an average of 31.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 7.7 assists across seven games.
