Sister of Jalen Brunson Criticizes Pistons Fans for Labeling Him a 'Disrespectful Flopper'
Hang with a sibling like Erica Brunson, and you'll find a girlfriend who's only half as loyal as she is to her NBA baller bro, Jalen.
Last night, the New York Knicks outpaced the Detroit Pistons by a mere 3 points, clinching their first-round playoff victory with a score of 116-113 in Game 6. With just seconds remaining on the clock, Brunson nailed the game-winner that propelled the Knicks to the second round, where they'll meet the Boston Celtics.
Leading up to the contests, Detroit took a playful swipe at Brunson's propensity to feign fouls. A billboard even popped up, veering close to being vulgar yet still giving him a hard time.
Needless to say, Brunson had the last word—with a vengeance. In addition to sealing the deal with a match-winning three-pointer, Brunson racked up 40 points in Game 6, the clincher. Post-game, Erica made sure to call out the haters who took a shot at her bro. As they say, blood is thicker than water!
Give 'em what for, Erica! It's heartening to witness families supporting one another in tough times.
Score one more for Erica, as Jalen endured far more backtalk than just the billboard sign.
Earlier in the series, Jalen's competitor, Jalen Duren, had the audacity to call out Jalen as a "flopping motherf---er" while he was on the floor. In Games 3, 4, and 6, the Detroit crowd rain down "F-k you Brunson" chants and "Flopper" chants, causing a disturbance.
Well, if I'm Erica, I'd be seething with rage on behalf of my kin. Taring off that tweet had to feel sweet.
