I hope JB says to kick rocks!

Since the 1982-83 season, Jalen Brunson is the ONLY player to record 40 (or more) points, 8 (or more) rebounds, 5 (or more) assists, 2 (or more) steals, and zero turnovers in an NBA playoff game.

(Now to read the rumors about Indy wanting to sign Brunson and move Brogdon. Hold up...)

come on now. Rick didn't hold JB back. He contributed to developing JB and now we're seeing Jalen's four year progression continue.

Although I don't think it's a stretch to think he pigeonholed him to a strict role and his system didn't allow him to flourish. He was a pseudo 6th man at best while RC was here.
