Knicks-Spurs Finals Clash Elevates Jalen Brunson to NYC Royalty

Join hosts Michael Barr, Vanessa Perdomo and Randall Williams for a look at some of the latest headlines and stories in the business of sports.

The New York Knicks reaching the NBA Finals for the first time this century and facing emerging superstar Victor Wembanyama promises to become one of the most-watched championships in league history.

In his second season, the 22-year-old Wembanyama is making a case to be the next face of the league, Kosner said. His unique mix of size and skill — he’s the league’s best shot-blocker while also a skilled shooter and ballhandler — has led him to be nicknamed “The Alien.”

The Knicks have their own superstar in Jalen Brunson, a crafty 6-foot-2 guard who could make a claim on being the league’s biggest star by leading New York to its first title in more than 50 years.
