There’s no denying that New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is one of the league’s brightest stars. Ever since he signed with the Knicks, his game has taken on another level. As a player in his stature, he’s often given the superstar treatment from game officials.
In the preseason, he’s already unveiled a new celebration for a made three-point basket. Curiously, Brunson also follows a strict ritual that involves the ball, which he performs before tip-off.
However, when the two-time all-star tried to pry away the ball from the referee, the latter refused. Brunson tried to explain his side while trying to grab the ball away from the ref. Eventually, the official relented and permitted Brunson to do his pre-game ritual. The hilarious moment was shared on X by ‘BigKnickEnergy_.’
