Winning the title after putting in an all-time performance in an elimination game on the road against a dude ppl were crowning as BPITW and a generational defensive force prior to the Finals to end a 53 year Knicks title drought isn't "skipping steps" just bc you're mad about it.
Until this run, Brunson wasn’t a guy anyone was thinking about for the pyramid. He wasn’t in that top-100 mix. Now he’s forced his way up and into the conversation which is awesome and a great story. But the timeline is getting crazy skipping steps here.
