Fan of Jalen Brunson's sibling vehemently rebukes Pistons supporters, dubbing them for labeling her brother as a 'shameless flopper'.
In the nail-biting NBA playoffs, Erica Brunson's loyalty to her brother, All-Star Jalen, rivals none. Last night, the New York Knicks triumphed over the Detroit Pistons, securing a 116-113 victory in Game 6 and booking their spot against the Boston Celtics. Brunson dropped a massive 40 points, sealing the deal with a jaw-dropping game-winning three-pointer.
Leading up to the game, the Pistons took a dig at Brunson, erecting a billboard mocking his penchant for drawing fouls. The billboard, subtly vulgar, read, "Brunson, you're a mother flopper", poking fun at Jalen's flopping skills.
But Brunson had the last laugh. In response, he crushed the Pistons with his incredible performance, forgetting all about the roasts. Erica, his fiercely protective sister, couldn't help but call out the fans. In her social media post, she quipped, "Left with a 40 piece and a W. Next time you pay to have our name up in Detroit think twice." Those words, a direct response to the billboard and the heckling throughout the series, echoed the intensity of the rivalry.
Earlier in the series, Jalen Duren, a Pistons player, taunted Brunson by calling him a "flopping motherf---er". This remark added fuel to the fire, as Pistons fans continued to heckle Brunson, shouting "F-k you Brunson" and "Flopper" during the games.
If I were Erica, I'd feel more than a little enraged for my sibling. Sending out that tweet must have felt fantastic. Game one between the Knicks and the Celtics kicks off on Monday. Let's see if the tension between the teams continues!
