Jalen Brunson's NBA Finals HEROICS Expose Emmanuel Acho & Becky Hammon | Don't @ Me w/ Dan Dakich
Dan Dakich obliterates Emmanuel Acho for his premature first-quarter tweet and takes aim at Becky Hammon’s past comments claiming Jalen Brunson is too small to win.
It’s safe to say that Jalen Brunson’s sister kept the receipts.
Erica Brunson sounded off against the critics of her brother after he led the New York Knicks with a 45-point performance in Game 5 to help the team secure their first NBA championship since 1973. She first dunked on Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon, a former Spurs assistant coach, who didn’t believe Brunson was going to be the top guy because of his size.

"Now what?" she wrote on X after Hammon’s comments resurfaced on social media.
She added in a separate post, "Unfortunately I’m petty and idc. WHAT. NOW!!! Where will the goal post move now?"
Jalen Brunson proved all of the naysayers and critics wrong. He led the Knicks to the No. 3 seed in the playoffs after a 53-29 regular season. New York moved through the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers to get a shot at the title against the Spurs.

The basketball world likely thought it was going to be a Victor Wembanyama moment. The 7-foot-6 player is only 22 and a title would have strapped a rocket to his back in terms of stardom. Instead, he was left with his tail between his legs and claimed that the Spurs actually dominated the series despite blowing leads in all four of their losses.
Regardless, Brunson was named NBA Finals MVP and has been dubbed one of the greatest Knicks players of all time.
President Donald Trump said it himself.
"Congratulations to Jim Dolan and the New York Knicks!!! What a year it has been but, even more so, what incredible playoff wins we have all witnessed, especially the last four - Maybe the greatest in the history of basketball," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
