Knicks fans still talk about Bernard King’s heroics in the mid-1980s, though the team never got past the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Jalen Brunson is putting up numbers that no Knick has equaled since King, and he may just be getting started.
Brunson had played in 39 career postseason games prior to Game 4 against the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs and had scored 40 points just twice.
In little more than a week since then, the Knicks star guard has done it four times in a row, including dropping a scintillating 43 in Monday night’s 121-117 victory over the Pacers in Game 1 of the conference semifinals at Madison Square Garden.
