00:00I've been comparing Jalen Brunson to Derek Jeter when it comes to that singular focus,
00:05the demeanor, how he performs in crunch time. Now he's got to win a championship and then
00:09another one after to have the ultimate Jeter comparison. Who do you compare Jalen Brunson
00:14to? Who is he? Your Jeter one is on. Kobe's not good. He's not Kobe Bryant, okay? He's not as
00:21good as Kobe Bryant. He's not Kobe Bryant's level as a player. But what he is, is what Jeter was.
00:28Jeter never won an MVP. Jeter never was the dominant player. But what he was, was a player
00:36who was always at his best in the big moment. And now in the sports world we live in now,
00:43where it's all playoff centric, being a great playoff performer, okay? Look at Judge,
00:49how much he is knocked for what he's done in the postseason, despite the fact he's put up some of
00:53great years in Yankee history, okay? But he gets knocked. Jeter was the opposite. He was always
01:01at his best in the biggest moment. He was always there when the moment needed him to be big, he
01:08was
01:09bigger. That's what Brunson gives you. Brunson's numbers are better. And so far the MVP without hands
01:15down has been Towns. Oh yeah. Hands down. And he might win the MVP or Brunson might go on a
01:22heater in
01:22the next two games and put up 40. And then it's going to be a debate as to who's going
01:25to be the
01:26MVP. Brunson's ability to score in the fourth quarter is uncanny. Brunson has the best footwork
01:33of any player I've seen in the NBA, with the notable exception of Hakeem Olajuwon, who had the
01:40most exquisite footwork I ever saw in my life. He is a good player who plays great when the moment
01:47demands it. And that's exactly what Derek Jeter was his whole life. Plus they're both leaders.
