'JALEN BRUNSON IS THE MVP OF THE EAST!' 😤 - Perk reacts to Knicks vs. 76ers | NBA Today

found a way to just relax breathe not really worry about what's going on on the outside oh my a new franchise playoff record 47 points for Jay Brunson the Knicks Hang on we're not done yet we got to find a way to Wi another let me just tell yall I spent the weekend watching that game with Kendrick Perkins and Stephen Smith it was in experience I'm going to try it I'm no Stephen A but New York stand up New York stand upk New York Jaylen Brenson broke the Knicks franchise record for the most points in a playoff series when you're wearing a hoodie that says New York or nowhere you know what going to be a special evening Jaylen Brunson going to work gets that one to go I thought this was Wells Fargo Center but it sounded like this [Applause] Nicks fans they travel Kendrick Perkins and they went to Philadelphia to cheer on their neck do wouldn't you with a team that played with this much heart led by this man right here big body Bronson and did you see him go at Joel and be and told him watch out with that elbow look at him look at him talk your toe they're having a little conversation back and forth but Josh harped I mean doing everything particularly on the offensive board Chen for this team Nova Knicks baby just at home even though they ain't home what I love about this squad is that they play on both ends Josh Hart may not be the tallest but he'll get you o boards and then Jaylen Brunson he fears no one and will Flex on everybody takes on and beid gets that one to go takes on everybody really embiid talking to his Squad saying all right come on let's get this one together here going ahead to the fourth quarter what did I say about taking on Joell embiid Jaylen Brunson he fears nobody going to work REM maneuvering that's just not fair Malika gets the fade away to go that was good defense yeah great defense particularly on a guy who played every single minute of the for a guy who played every single minute of the second half for the first time in his career playoff a regular season in Joel and he's trying but someone else is trying harder a little bit on offense three-point game Kyle Lowry kicks it back out to Joel got a hand on that pre AA remember with no Mitchell Robinson they needed every bit of what he had to offer and then Josh Hart to Brunson Brunson ises the game 47 points 10 assists here's Brunson on his historic night I look back when I retire seriously this is it's great right now helped us uh get a win but um it's not going to do anything for us going forward so brunson's 47 points they set a nck franchise playoff record remember passing a pair of 46-point games by Bernard King in 198 4 Brunson also became the first player with 40 points and 10 assists in a playoff game in franchise history so let's welcome in The Unofficial official mayor governor of New York City Kendrick Perkins you had Jaylen Brunson third second on your MVP ballot right but if we're just looking at players in the East where does his value stack up to you oh he's the most valuable player in the Eastern Conference Malika and man I just been preaching all season long when it comes down to even being the best point guard in the league people thought I was crazy when I said he would been the best player in the Eastern Conference people thought I was crazy he's doing more with less okay when it comes down to not playing with another allar caliber player on the side of him he's getting the job done in great fashion and I'm not trying to disrespect the others on the team because God knows I loved OG anobi I love what Josh Hart brings to the table I love what the kid MC has been doing but at the end of the day when you're talking about putting the team on your shoulder and going into Philly going against the duo of Joel embiid and Tyrese Maxi AR be a top five duo in the league and you come out Victorious and you come out with both of those games on the road averaging what 38 or something around there that's standing on business Jaylen Bronson is the most valuable player in the Eastern Conference most valuable player in the Eastern Conference I like it you mentioned Joel embiid so let's talk a little bit more about him in the 76ers because Joel has been dealing with a lot right Belle's paly the knee injury he's been very clear none of those things were excuses right after all he had 50 in that game three but Chan that fourth quarter yesterday from embiid it requires a little bit of a closer examination oh it truly does because Joel embiid was coming off of the most dominant performance of the playoff so far which caused the Knicks to try putting their most decorated Defender onto dwell OG anobi he came to the Knicks as the guy that guards the most Allstar in the league and a for it showed and I'll show you exactly why so Jo and beid I always say the the most unguardable play in basketball is when embiid is up here but look at this this was the matchup an anobi on him bead he's got what 50 pounds on him typically when Jo is here he's he can't get double but when he's over there the double is ripe so all an adobe has to do is keep his Forum on his back again physicality right here this is a guy that has inches and weight on him but watch how everyone else is connected to make sure the double is there Brunson stunts then again they're trying to fight Maxi trying to get him the ball look how physical the help defense is ready on the backside reading his mind so when the ball is loose he's still able to show bodies and presence again another double team when he's up there it's unguardable when he's down here the whole team has his back particularly anobi when it comes to defending 0 for six field goals with anobi as the primary Defender that's not easy work but look at the numbers here Jo beid scored just one point and missed all five of his shots from the field in the fourth quarter after scoring 26 points on seven for 14 shooting through three quarters he also only grabbed where is it right here just one board anobi on him for 21 possessions and I would thought of Nick nurse a team who a guy who had right maybe would have seen that coming something that I didn't see coming though was the number of fans that traveled from New York City to Philadelphia Joel embiid he was n too pleased about the number of Knicks fans that really took over in Philadelphia I I I just I didn't know that they were moving like this but [Music]
