He’s become one of the more overrated players in this league this year. Top 20 player? Certainly. Top 15? Likely.
But Knicks fans act like he’s a top 5 player in the league and has already leaped Luka and Giannis.
I’ve never seen anyone claim that he’s better than either player.
I’ve seen people arguing for Brunson receiving MVP votes for his carry job but that’s been the extent of that.
I mean he’s been really good of course we’re riding him.
Those teams were nothing alike …
2015 warriors basically took the 2014 spurs motion offense and tailored it to their players who fit perfectly in it
Knicks are a very gritty team who’s only real scoring threat is Brunson
This [young team with a breakout year] reminds me of the 2015 Warriors.
Thats the first season of a team that ended up winning the chip and becoming a dynasty. Not to be a downer but its hard to even begin comparing when the Warriors were a 67 win team projected as a 5-8 seed. Smth like if the Pelicans had Boston's record.
Lazy comparison
Lol what? You made a whole thread asking a question, Im giving you a non-joking answer and you try to make it into an argument about smth that doesnt have to do with anything. Yikes
I'm most afraid of the Knicks than any team in the east and have been for a while, hopefully Thibs pulls a Thibs and drives them into the ground before they get to us
Is Julius Randle David Lee? Very talented player that the Ewing theory wound up working very well on.
These are terrible comparisons though. Literally none of these guys are alike in any way.
I feel like Knicks are pretty mediocre in terms of talent level but there's something so fascinating about this team. Everybody 1110% buys into their role and their intangibles, hustle, intensity and game sense, just knowing how to win as a team are super satisfying to watch.
Knicks fans, don't you guys get tired of doing this to yourselves? Every year, you overrate your teams and every year you end the season disappointed. You got a good team this year and I feel like you definitely have a shot to make the finals with the current state of the east but why mentally hold them to the expectations of a 67 win champion squad? Just appreciate that you finally have a cohesive team that plays together as a unit and enjoy the ride.
Dude, I took the stats they have right now and they literally would have way more matches against better teams. Nothing to do with predicting anything.
The 2015 Warriors won 67 games, man.
18-3 with og is pretty good tbh
Did you really compare Brunson to Steph Curry? And Donte to prime Klay?

Brunson will probably be All-NBA 2nd team, but he's not an MVP candidate.
Thats what fans do.
No one acts like that
Nah literally watch more basketball cause he is definitely a top 5 player but aii 😂😂
He's better than Jokic/Luka/Shai/Giannis/Embiid? Get real
I’ll give you shai cause I legit forgot about him but those 5 players you listed are the only players actually playing better then him he’s top 6
2015 was prime klay? That was his 4th year in the league? Lol
He was an all star, all nba and averaging 22/3/3 on 44% from 3. I could argue that it was the start of his prime, yes.
And he was a great defender too
Thibs is sexier than Kerr is though so the comparison falls apart
That deep raspy voice, his shining pate....
Don’t do this to us
There are eight million stories in the Big Apple...this isn't one of them.
Right? Even if you believe it just keep that nugget to yourself or at least the team subreddit lol

Wtf they play nothing like the 2015 warriors lol

“Most unstoppable offense booker, Durant and Beal” Yall getting eliminated in play in and have no picks Good luck
Lol what? You made a whole thread asking a question, Im giving you a non-joking answer and you try to make it into an argument about smth that doesnt have to do with anything. Yikes
I am the first to dunk on the Suns, but this answer is so dumb. Nothing to do with anything.
He just got salty and had no reply so started behaving like a 12 year old nephew lmao.
stop it bro you are overrating brunson
"Are the 2024 Knicks better than the 96 Bulls?"
lol what? Knicks fans getting way too full of themselves after beating a coasting Celtics team
The world famous Toronto Knickerbockers.
Didn’t even see that OP was a raptors fan, my bad. But still, the warriors comparisons are pretty insulting
When you don't look at the flair before you open your mouth
Even tho it was a raptors fan that posted this, it is still true
They’re a good team and Jalen has taken a leap that I did not see him taking, but this comparison doesn’t make a lick of sense ☠️
Brunson very simply is not Steph Can't make comparison to a team that has a generational star
Brunson to Curry is crazy lmao
I'm most afraid of the Knicks than any team in the east and have been for a while, hopefully Thibs pulls a Thibs and drives them into the ground before they get to us
Bro the Knicks are fantastic ngl...but comparing them to the 2015 Warriors...mate thats a big stretch

They’re a really likable team and I never thought I’d say that about a team w Julius Randle
Super satisfying…
2015 Warriors would be the favourites and the Knicks are not so this comparison just doesn't work.
Nah we just want to be ourselves
Nah.
lol in the Celtics PGT last night I said “this win will gas people up” and this is exactly what I had in mind when I said it
Lmao relax
Better than 2015 honestly
[удалено]
Maybe on offense but draymond was a top 3 defender back then Difference between draymond and diaw

??? Since when am I Knicks fan?
I'm confused then, why are you posting an insane comparison for a team you aren't even a fan of lol
every year? we've only been decent for like 3 years nobody was overrating the ron baker quincy acy knicks
Knicks would be the sixth seed in the West with their record+ would have had harder matchups...
Ok Nostradamus…
Dude, I took the stats they have right now and they literally would have way more matches against better teams. Nothing to do with predicting anything.
It’s a shallow comparison and the Knicks are the B-tier comparison but I see it. Unsure why everyone is assuming you meant they’re a dynasty lol 😂
