New York Knicks All-Star Jalen Brunson joins Taylor Rooks for an exclusive interview to discuss whether he pays attention to his critics, why he doesn't care how people label him, why he loves playing for Tom Thibodeaux, and his immediate reaction to finding out he broke his hand in Game 7 of the Knicks series vs. Pacers. He also breaks down why he left the Mavericks, how he's changed as a player in New York, why criticisms of Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum are unfair, how he felt about not making the Olympics roster, and responds to Reggie Miller's comments about Josh Hart and Knicks fans.
