  • Jalen Brunson spent part of his childhood inside NBA locker rooms. When his father Rick played for the New York Knicks, Tom Thibodeau worked there as an assistant coach. Years later Thibodeau became Jalen's head coach, and the boy from that locker room was wearing a Knicks uniform himself.

    Brunson was born on the 31st of August 1996. He grew up to be a left-handed American point guard, just as his father was. This documentary follows him from a restless childhood to some of the biggest scoring nights in Knicks history.

    A few questions run through the story. How does a player without a towering frame become a record-setting scorer? What happened in Dallas that made New York eager to sign him? And what does it take to carry a famous franchise back to the sport's biggest stage?

    The answers begin with a household that rarely stayed in one town for long.

  • Temple University is where Jalen's parents met. His father, Rick, played for the basketball team, and his mother, Sandra, played volleyball. Rick went on to spend nine seasons in the NBA, and the family's address changed with his career.

    They first settled in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. After that they moved seven times. The moving stopped in 2010, when the family put down roots in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Jalen also has a sister, Erica, who was born around 2001.

    Jamaica is the birthplace of both of Jalen's maternal grandparents, which gives him Jamaican descent.

    Lincolnshire was also home to Stevenson High School, where his name would soon begin replacing others in the record books.

  • The 16th of March 2013 gave Brunson his first look at an IHSA Class 4A title game. His sophomore Stevenson team faced Simeon Career Academy, the three-time defending state champion, led by Jabari Parker and Kendrick Nunn. Brunson put the Simeon guards in foul trouble early. Then he scored a single point after halftime, and Stevenson lost 58-40. The team finished 29-5, and Brunson averaged 21.5 points. The Associated Press put him on the Class 4A all-state second team, where he was the only sophomore on either of its top two teams.

    On the 21st of February 2014, junior Brunson scored 57 points in a double overtime win over Lake Forest High School. That night he took both the school's single-game and career scoring records. A month later, on the 21st of March, he scored 56 against Whitney Young High School and its star Jahlil Okafor. That was an IHSA playoff single-game record, yet Stevenson still lost the semifinal 75-68. Still photographs of one of his movements in that game appeared to show an obscene gesture. Video proved inconclusive, and an initial suspension for the consolation game was overturned. He finished the year averaging 26.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.9 steals for a team that went 32-2. Illinois named him its Gatorade Player of the Year.

    Chaminade Prep and its star Jayson Tatum beat Stevenson 88-81 in Wheeling, West Virginia, even though Brunson scored 48 points. That loss came early in his senior season, after 11 straight wins to open the year. On the 17th of March 2015, a victory over Riverside Brookfield High School sent Stevenson to a third consecutive final four. It also made Brunson the career scoring leader for Lake County.

    Then came the title game against Normal Community High School. Brunson scored 30 points, a Class 4A championship game record, in a 57-40 win. He made 9 of 15 shots from the field and all 9 of his free throws. No Lake County school had ever won a state basketball title before. Stevenson also became the third school overall, and the first in the large school division, to win IHSA football and basketball championships in the same year.

    Brunson won Illinois Mr. Basketball with 552 points and 99 of the 132 first-place votes. Charles Matthews finished second with 157 points. For the season he averaged 23.3 points, 5.2 assists and 4.7 rebounds, shooting 38 percent on three-pointers and 83 percent at the free throw line.

    He finished high school ranked 16th in the ESPN 100 and as the second-ranked point guard behind Isaiah Briscoe, though his college choice had been made the previous September.

  • Before his senior season, Brunson's peers voted him the best passer in high school basketball. His class was considered thin at point guard, and he was the only one ranked in the top 25 at the end of his junior year.

    On the 3rd of May 2014, he named eight schools he was considering: UConn, Michigan State, Illinois, Kansas, Purdue, Villanova, Michigan and Temple. On the 25th of June, the day after Jalen won gold at the 2014 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship, Temple offered Rick an on-bench assistant coaching job. In that tournament Jalen had handed out 13 assists against Uruguay. That broke the USA Basketball under-18 single-game record of 12, which Stephon Marbury had set in 1994. On the 25th of July, Rick was arrested on various charges. The Temple offer fell through, and Temple dropped out of the race for his son.

    On the 10th of September 2014, Brunson chose Villanova over Illinois. Scout.com ranked him the top point guard in the class of 2015.

    On the 18th of June 2015, he was named to the USA Basketball team for the Under-19 World Cup. He was the tournament MVP, leading the team in assists and steals with 5.6 and 2.1 per game. He scored a game-high 30 points in the semifinal against Greece. In the gold medal game against Croatia he had 14 points, six of them in overtime. On the 21st of December, USA Basketball named him its Male Athlete of the Year.

    Villanova's first game of the 2015-16 season, on the 13th of November, saw him start with 12 points and four assists against Fairleigh Dickinson. Big East coaches had picked him as the conference's Preseason Freshman of the Year. On the 28th of December he scored 22 points against Penn. On the 8th of February, the Wildcats became the first Villanova men's team to reach number one in the AP Poll. In the regional final against Kansas, Brunson made two free throws that built a two-possession lead with 3.5 seconds left. Villanova then beat North Carolina 77-74 for the national championship, with Brunson in the starting lineup.

    On the 5th of December 2016, his sophomore team climbed to number one in the rankings. The next night he scored 26 against La Salle. On the 31st of December he scored 27 against number 10 Creighton, lifting Villanova to 14-0. On the 18th of February, against Seton Hall, he recorded his first career double-double with 22 points and a career-high 10 assists. He averaged 14.7 points and 4.1 assists that year and chose to return for a junior season.

    In the 2017-18 season he won the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament and was its MVP. On the 13th of December he scored 31 points against Temple, 22 of them in the first half. By the end of the year, the trophies included the Naismith Award, the John R. Wooden Award, the Oscar Robertson Trophy and the Associated Press Player of the Year. He was also the Big East Player of the Year and its Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and he was on pace to graduate that summer. Villanova won the 2018 national championship, and Brunson then declared for the NBA draft and hired an agent.

    On the 17th of December 2019, Sporting News named him college basketball player of the decade, by which time he was already in his second NBA season.

  • On the 21st of June 2018, the Dallas Mavericks drafted Brunson with the 33rd overall pick. He was the fourth and final Villanova player chosen that night. He waited to sign until after the 2018 Summer League, and then received a four-year contract resembling a first-round deal, with three years guaranteed.

    His debut came on the 17th of October 2018, with three points, one rebound and an assist in a 121-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns. He came off the bench for his first four games. On the 26th of October he started in place of the injured Dennis Smith Jr. against Toronto. On the 12th of March 2019, he scored 34 points in a 112-105 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. On the 7th of April he had 12 points and 10 assists against Memphis, his second career double-double.

    On the 16th of December 2019, Luka Dončić was out, and Brunson started. Dallas ended Milwaukee's 18-game win streak that night, and Brunson had 13 points and a career-high 11 assists. In March 2020 came a report that he had undergone surgery on a labrum injury in his right shoulder. In 2020-21 he posted career highs in points, rebounds and assists and finished fourth in voting for the Sixth Man of the Year Award.

    In 2021-22 he became a starter and again set career highs. His playoff breakout came against the Utah Jazz, when Dončić missed the first three games. On the 16th of April 2022, Brunson scored 24 points in a 99-93 loss in game 1. Two days later he scored 41 points, with eight rebounds and five assists, in a 110-104 win. On the 15th of May, he had 24 points and six rebounds in a 123-90 game 7 win over the top-seeded Suns, sending Dallas to the Western Conference finals. On the 20th of May, he scored 31 points in game 2 against the Golden State Warriors, a 126-117 loss.

    That summer he became a free agent, and the New York Knicks were the team he signed with.

  • On the 2nd of June 2022, the Knicks hired Rick Brunson as an assistant coach. On the 12th of July, Jalen signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the team. The league later punished the Knicks for holding conversations with him before the free agency window opened.

    On the 21st of September 2022, Brunson announced his engagement to Ali Marks, whom he had met in high school. The proposal took place in the Stevenson High School gymnasium, after his induction into the school's athletic Hall of Fame.

    His Knicks debut came on the 19th of October, a 115-112 overtime loss to Memphis in which he had 15 points, nine assists and six rebounds. On the 9th of January 2023, he scored a then career-high 44 points in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. That week he averaged 34.8 points and earned the first NBA Player of the Week award of his career. He scored at least 25 points in eight straight games, the longest run by a Knicks guard since Dick Barnett in 1965. Barnett had gone 12 in a row.

    On the 8th of February, Villanova retired his jersey. On the 1st of March, he scored 39 points against the Brooklyn Nets, 30 of them in the first half. He was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for February, averaging 27.3 points and 6.0 assists. On the 31st of March, he set a career high with 48 points against Cleveland, 33 of them before halftime.

    In game 4 of the second round against the Miami Heat, Brunson scored 32 points with 11 assists. That made him one of only three Knicks to reach 30 points and 10 assists in a playoff game, alongside Walt Frazier and Patrick Ewing. Miami won the series in six games, and Brunson tied his playoff best of 41 points in a 96-92 game 6 loss.

    On the 29th of July 2023, Brunson married Ali at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago. Josh Hart, a Villanova teammate who now plays for the Knicks and co-hosts a podcast with him called Roommates, attended. So did Donte DiVincenzo, who served as a groomsman. The wedding had been planned for Labor Day weekend, but moved earlier to make room for his selection to the United States team for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

    The United States, a relatively inexperienced squad, finished fourth. That was high enough, as one of the top two teams from the Americas, to earn an invitation to the 2024 Olympic Games.

  • Elite footwork, not elite athleticism, defines Brunson's game. He calls himself a hustle player. He draws many offensive fouls, including charges and calls for illegal screens and pushoffs. The style grew out of necessity, because he has strength and agility but lacks the height, length and verticality to separate himself in the air.

    On the 15th of December 2023, the Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns. Brunson scored a then career-high 50 points on 17-of-23 shooting, including nine for nine on three-pointers. He added nine assists, six rebounds and five steals. He became the ninth Knick to score 50, and the first player in NBA history to reach 50 without missing a three-pointer on at least eight attempts. Latrell Sprewell had gone nine for nine on the 4th of February 2003, and Ben Gordon matched it twice, in 2006 and 2012. In the second half alone, Brunson made all 12 of his shots, including eight of eight from three. No one in the NBA had ever made eight threes in a half without a miss. The old mark of seven for seven had been reached by many players.

    On the 1st of January 2024, in OG Anunoby's Knicks debut, Brunson dished a career-high 14 assists against Minnesota. His January plus-minus of 256 was the second highest for any month in NBA history, behind Scottie Pippen's 272 in November 1996. On the 1st of February he was named an All-Star reserve for the first time. On the 29th of March he scored a career-high 61 points in a 130-126 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs. That was one short of the Knicks franchise record that Carmelo Anthony set on the 24th of January 2014.

    He finished the regular season with 36 games of 30 or more points, tying the Knicks single-season record shared by Richie Guerin in 1961-62 and Ewing in 1989-90. His 11 games of 40 or more tied Ewing for second in team history, behind Bernard King's 13. Brunson placed fifth in MVP voting and made the All-NBA Second Team for the first time.

    In game 4 of the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers, he scored 47 points in a 97-92 win, a Knicks single-game playoff record. King had twice scored 46 in the 1984 playoffs. In round two against Indiana, he opened with 43 points and six assists. That made him the fourth player in NBA history, and the first since Michael Jordan in the 1993 NBA Finals, to score 40 or more in four straight playoff games. In game 5 he scored 28 first-half points, a Knicks record for a playoff half. In game 7 he fractured his left hand as the Knicks were eliminated, and he soon had surgery to repair it.

    A new contract was waiting that July.

  • On the 28th of June 2024, Brunson appeared on WWE SmackDown at Madison Square Garden, alongside Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. On the 12th of July, exactly two years after his first signing, he agreed to a four-year, $156.5 million extension through the 2028-29 season. He could have pursued a five-year, $256 million deal in the 2025 offseason. He took less to give the team more flexibility for future moves.

    On the 31st of July, Brunson's first child was born, and the couple announced it in August. On the 6th of August, the Knicks named him the 36th captain in franchise history.

    On the 28th of December, he scored 55 points in a 136-132 overtime win over Washington. Forty-two of them came in the second half or later, including nine in overtime. On the 23rd of April 2025, he was named the NBA Clutch Player of the Year. In clutch situations during the regular season he led the league with 52 made field goals. He also averaged a league-best 5.6 points per game in those moments, shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 84.0 percent on free throws.

    On the 1st of May, he scored 40 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer in a 116-113 game 6 win over the Detroit Pistons. On the 12th of May, he had 39 points and 12 assists against the Boston Celtics. Through the first 10 games of that playoffs, he had scored more fourth-quarter points than anyone since 1997, passing Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry. In the Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks' first in 25 years, he scored 43 in game 1 against the Pacers. That was his eighth 40-point playoff game as a Knick, passing King. After game 2 he also passed Ewing for the most 30-point playoff games in franchise history. Indiana won the series in six.

    On the 13th of December 2025, he scored 40 points against Orlando in the NBA Cup semifinal. Three days later he scored 25 points with eight assists in a 124-113 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the final, and he was named NBA Cup MVP. On the 19th of December he made a game-winning three-pointer with 4.4 seconds left against Indiana. He averaged 30.6 points and 7.1 assists for the month and was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the third time.

    On the 19th of January 2026, he earned a third straight All-Star selection, and a second straight as a starter. On the 30th of January, he passed 10,000 career points. On the 6th of March, he logged his second consecutive 15-assist game, something no Knick had done since Mark Jackson in 1989. New York finished 53-29 as the third seed, and he made the All-NBA Second Team for a third straight season.

    In game 1 of the 2026 Eastern Conference finals, Cleveland led the Knicks by 22 points. Brunson scored 38, including 17 in the fourth quarter and overtime, as New York finished the game on a 44-11 run to win 115-104. In game 2 he added 19 points and a playoff career-high 14 assists. The Knicks swept the Cavaliers, and he was named Eastern Conference finals MVP.

    The sweep put the Knicks in the NBA Finals, their first since 1999.
