Particularly one where he joined as a panelist on the stage alongside current Knicks captain Jalen Brunson and others. In a video shared online, the basketball Hall of Famer was seen giving praise to Brunson while claiming he has the potential to be the greatest player ever for the Knicks.
According to him, Knicks fans have to understand that the players are humans too and the scrutiny around their performances can be intense on them. Furthermore, he asserts that Jalen Brunson has a real chance now to write his name into the history books of the franchise. Recognizing that he took a massive pay cut for the benefit of the team, Frazier lauded him for rising to the occasion.
So, we all need to know it's difficult too, the expectations are always a little overwhelming. So, to rise to that occasion... Accept that challenge... So, you know, he's definitely got a chance to be one of, if not, the greatest Knick ever.Walt Frazier said
During his playing days, Walt Frazier was widely regarded as one of the best defensive guards in the league. He led the New York Knicks to their only two NBA championships in franchise history. Recognized as their top perimeter defender, Frazier played 13 seasons in the league before eventually retiring.
Top analyst predicts Jalen Brunson to win NBA title with Knicks
After being named the new captain of the New York Knicks, Jalen Brunson is perhaps one of the few players with deeper ties to a team than most. Despite spending four seasons with the Mavericks, it was with the Knicks that he became an All-Star. He was also selected to the All-NBA Team for the first time ever in his career.
Nonetheless, Brunson has been touted to lift the championship next season. Indeed, this prediction comes from top sports analyst Courtney Cronin, who has tipped the 27-year-old to win the title with the team.
So they will win a championship. Jalen Brunson will be the No. 1 guy on that team to do so.Courtney Cronin said recently on ESPN’s First Take Show
With the Knicks and Brunson preparing for the new NBA season, it remains to be seen if that becomes a reality. Only time will surely tell.
