When Mike Brown wanted to change the offense to get the ball out of Brunson's hands more and play through KAT and move the ball, Brunson not only bought in but used the extra energy to play harder on defense. Even being a bad defender is mitigated with effort.

Brunson is one Finals win away from having accomplished more than Luka has.
This is what's frustrating about Luka: if he led and played like Brunson, he would be so much better than not just Brunson, but everyone in the league that it would be a complete joke. It's a choice, that's why I'm critical of him.
