On June 14, 2026, former NBA center and current television analyst Kendrick Perkins described point guard Jalen Brunson as “the greatest Knick of all time.”
Perkins’ comment, delivered during a broadcast discussion about the New York Knicks, placed Brunson ahead of franchise legends such as Patrick Ewing and Walt Frazier. The analyst did not elaborate on specific criteria for his assessment, but the statement quickly drew attention across social media and sports talk platforms.
Brunson, 29, has been with New York since signing as a free agent in 2022, leading the team to multiple playoff appearances and emerging as a fan favorite at Madison Square Garden. His averages through four seasons with the Knicks include 26.6 points and 6.5 assists per game, statistics that Perkins cited when highlighting Brunson’s impact.
The Knicks have not officially commented on Perkins’ declaration. Brunson also has yet to publicly respond.
