Overview
- The New York Knicks rallied from a 27-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4, completing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history with Jalen Brunson scoring 36 points.
- Draymond Green apologized to Brunson on TNT’s Inside the NBA hours after Wednesday’s game, saying he was sorry for his earlier criticism and that he would publicly apologize again when Brunson gets his ring.
- Brunson accepted the apology with a brief “Appreciate that,” and his calm, reserved reaction quickly went viral on social media as fans turned the moment into a meme.
- Green later clarified his earlier comments about what he calls a ‘1A’ player, saying he defines that label as a player who would be the clear top option on any team and that Brunson’s postseason forced him to rethink his view.
- The Knicks are one win from the franchise’s first title since 1973 and Brunson’s postseason run, roughly 27 points and 6 assists per game through 17 playoff games, has intensified debate over whether he should be considered a true top-tier superstar.
