Jalen Brunson didn\u2019t address his haters after winning the NBA Finals MVP, but his sister Erica took a different approach.<\/p>\n

Erica took to X the morning after the Knicks won their first title in 53 years, calling out critics of her older brother who claimed that he was not a player capable of leading his team to a championship.<\/p>\n

The critics were clearly proven wrong on Saturday night, when Brunson scored 45 points in the deciding Game 5.<\/p>\n

One of Erica\u2019s targets was Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon, who in 2023 commented that Brunson was too small to be a team\u2019s No. 1 option.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow what?\u201d Erica tweeted over Hammon\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n

Erica then reposted a clip from Colin Cowherd\u2019s show \u201cThe Herd\u201d where the longtime sports personality claimed Brunson was \u201ca number two, on a great team a three.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately I\u2019m petty and idc. WHAT. NOW!!! Where will the goal post move now?\u201d Erica wrote.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be difficult for Brunson\u2019s critics to keep it up. With his huge performance in the closeout Game 5 and the upswing the Knicks have been on since his arrival in free agency in 2022, Brunson has cemented his place as one of the greatest Knicks in recent history. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In the past four years with Brunson, the Knicks have won at least one playoff series every season. In the 21 seasons before the three-time All-Star? The Knicks won one playoff series.<\/p>\n

After the Finals win, Brunson was asked about those who have claimed he isn\u2019t a 1A player.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t respond to them then, I\u2019m damn sure not gonna respond to them now,\u201d Brunson said pointedly.<\/p>\n
