'Wasting Their Breath' - Mikal Bridges Tried Warning Pistons Fans A Week Ago That Their Pathetic Taunting Of Jalen Brunson Will End Poorly
Okay, one more Jalen Brunson blog. It's a slow day, Brunson hit one of the smoothest crossovers you'll ever hit and well, people can't stop talking about it. First, we have the Korean call, which fucking rules:
We have every angle of Brunson turning Ausar Thompson's ankles and knees into dust, which also fucking rules:
But, you see, there's more to it. I've seen a lot of people compliment Pistons fans. Not me. Actually, I take that back. I will compliment them for getting Brunson going. You can't rattle him as a fan. You don't get under his skin. He's just .. the same. It's not lost on me what Pistons fans tried to do. They tried to turn the entire world against Jalen Brunson as a 'flopper' which is just false. He's just a superstar. They tried billboards:
The freeways portion there really sells it. Not as much as Brunson's sister reminding them what happened:
You had them chanting flopper at him:
They tried mocking him outside the arena:
That's why it was so warming to the heart watching Brunson rip their souls out. But it's more than Brunson. You see, the beauty of having three college best friends on the same team is that Mikal Bridges knew what was happening. A week ago he tried warning Pistons fans:
Just the perfect soundbite to go back on. Speaking of perfect soundbites to go back on, Udonis Haslam, nailed it.
This is why you bring in Rick Brunson and sign Jalen Brunson. The man is a superstar. If he was a flopper, he hits the floor here, not finish one of the best layups in the playoffs:
No better sound than those Pistons fans going completely silent
Jalen Brunson was made to be a Knick. He was made to win us playoff series. Wasting their breath.
