BUT how many times has JB went down (last night - ankle) and you thought he was done for the night or would be out an extended time. I would argue that toughness, character, and will to win are some of Jalen's more noteworthy traits - that will only get better as he too enters his prime.

Touché. I didn't articulate my point very well. Yeah, Brunson is tough as nails in the way you're using the word (which is probably a better way than how I intended). When I said "tough" what I meant was the whole "f you, we're not losing, no matter what" mentality that Lowry has. Jordan was the most extreme example of this that I've seen, but there have been other players over the years who display a less extreme version of that mindset. I think Lowry is pretty far ahead of Brunson there, even to this day. 

But, as I said, I can easily envision Brunson growing into that form. He had it at the college level, for sure.
