One year ago, WWE unknowingly predicted the future. An Eastern Conference Finals face-off between Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton; that’s pure action that awaits the whistle. On one hand, Haliburton’s Pacers dethroned Cleveland, the No. 1 seed in the East. On the other hand, the defending champions, the Celtics, lost 2-4 to the New York Knicks. After all the noise around Hali, JB is the one shaking things up and putting the league on notice.

Well, he is one of the legends of the sport and not just confined to the Detroit Pistons.
Jalen Brunson has rocked the NBA to its core in just two years as a Knickerbocker, turning heads and rewriting expectations. And that’s not all, because he is rekindling the hope for a championship that New York hasn’t won since 1973.
