Draymond has NSFW reaction to Steph vs. Brunson, as NBA’s Best PG originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson’s meteoric rise was on full display during an exceptional playoff run this season, but is it enough to dethrone Steph Curry as the league’s best point guard? Draymond Green definitely doesn’t believe that.
During an episode of “The Draymond Green Show,” the Warriors star answered fan questions, with one asking if Brunson’s elite playoff performance had propelled him to the top of the NBA’s point guard hierarchy, to which Green quickly responded in defense NSFW response offered. from his future Hall of Fame teammate Curry.
“F-k no. Steph Curry [is] in the NBA, are you crazy?” Green promptly responded. “What? Come on, no. That is ridiculous. Steph Curry is still in the NBA, he’s still great. Come on. Stop it, what?”
Brunson is averaging a whopping 36.5 points per game in eight playoff games for the Knicks this season, including a streak of four straight 40-point games in the postseason. The 27-year-old has been more than impressive leading a scrappy New York team that currently holds a 2-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers after eliminating the Philadelphia 76ers in six games in the first round of the playoffs the Eastern Conference.
As good as Brunson’s numbers may be, there’s still a huge gap between his career accolades and the lengthy resume Curry has amassed, including four NBA titles, two league MVP awards, nine All-NBA selections and ten All-Star titles. The 36-year-old also won the 2024 NBA Clutch Player of the Year award this season.
What Brunson and the Knicks are doing during the 2023-2024 NBA playoffs is inspiring, but don’t get it twisted: Curry still remains the gold standard at the point guard position.
