Unleashing the Beast: Jalen Brunson's Epic Three-Pointer Sends NYC into a Frenzy
In the final moments of Game 6, Jalen Brunson sent shockwaves through the Big Apple, stepping up to the plate and launching a three-pointer that not only sealed the deal against the Detroit Pistons, but also unleashed a tidal wave of jubilation across the city, according to TMZ.
No one screamed louder than the legendary Brooklyn point guard, Stephon Marbury. His Instagram Live was an emotional rollercoaster, filled with unbridled excitement. "Drop it! Drop it!" Marbury bellowed, pounding his chest like a true Knicks fan hailing from the Bronx to Bed-Stuy. As the shot dropped, his triumphant roar echoed a city that hasn't felt this much playoff hope in over a decade.
Marbury's reaction didn't fizzle out with the buzzer. The next morning, he was still bursting with praise for Brunson, calling him a "true leader" and even comparing his closing moment to that of Michael Jordan. "Dude, but why did Jalen Brunson just now close out the game, the series, like Michael Jordan, for a three?" Marbury laughed, showering Brunson with the highest compliment a New York hoops hero could receive.
And Marbury wasn't alone in feeling the euphoria. Celebrities such as Ben Stiller, Jon Stewart, and Bad Bunny joined the digital choir of celebration. But while the internet reveled in the fun, the streets of New York pulsed with a different kind of energy: "We want Boston!" the crowd chanted, already primed for Round 2.
