I think with the recent Knick championship you have to say he is. Who would have thought. Let Brunson walk cause didn’t want to pay both a ton. Whoops.

Probably. He affects his team's record more.

Luka is a better player.
Brunson is a better winner.

Luka is better. Brunson is good because his team contains the perfect pieces around him. Three elite defensive wings and a great shooting and rebounding center.

Lakers are finally building the team around Luka now that LeBron is gone. Luka thrives with a secondary shooter who can play on ball or off ball and can take advantage of the holes Luka creates, Reaves is a top five 2 guard in the league who can do that. Luka also needs a great defensive rim running center who can catch the lob. With Kessler he can do all of that and shoot.

After that it is a rotation of defensive 3-D players. Grimes can do that, and I think Carr, Thybulle, and Laravia can as well, but the Sexton and Mamu signings puzzle me.

Brunson had some clutch af 4th quarters - reminded me of Jamal Murray's playoff runs.

But let's not be ridiculous of the comparison.

OG and bridges are both top 10 sf right now
Kat is still a top 5 center
Hart is a positive starter

Lol no.

It's not Luka's fault stupid arse Nico Harrison decided to break up an NBA Finals team up b/c of some fricked up obsession w/Anthony Davis.

Stupid fricker really looked at a finals series where Luka was the only guy scoring consistently and said yeah, it's not that everyone else fell off a cliff offensively and stopped hitting 3s. It's that fat Slovenian's defense that's to blame!

This will probably be downvoted but I thought. Brunson was the 3rd best Knick during the playoffs after KAT and OG.

Sure, he's the better finisher but games are 4 quarters and KAT and OG shot out of their minds from 3 as well as playing great defense.

Brunson's a great player but Luka is more impactful when he's healthy and motivated.

Brunson seems to have an instinct and drive to win and I can't say that I've seen that same determination from Luka.

59/62/93 splits in the 4th quarter of the entire postseason is not “better finisher”. It’s historic.

I’ll take the leagues most elite assassin who won a title and disagree. It’s such an advantage to have a weapon like that when the pressure is the highest.

I don’t think it’s close. One of the two is an NBA champion. The other got to a Finals and disappeared. 47/24/58 5.6/4.6 AST/TO disappeared. Those SAS guards can play defense too with that BOS duo. Ask SGA.

I might be the only one, but I honestly think Brunson had his Eli Manning moment this past year and he’ll be coming back down to Earth in the next couple of years. Could be wrong, but that’s just the feeling I get.
