The New York Knicks are set to face the Boston Celtics in the second round of the playoffs, with most predicting that the Knicks will struggle, many anticipating a sweep. Jalen Brunson, the Knicks' best player and an underdog at 33rd overall pick in 2018, is leading the way, having scored the highest points among all players in the postseason. Brunson embraces the underdog role and is motivated to prove doubters wrong as they compete against the defending champions.
"It is what it is. It's all about what you make of it and the opportunity that you are given," Brunson said with a shrug after practice on Saturday.
"This is a series filled with superstars who were high lottery picks. Brunson? The Mavericks' 33rd overall pick in 2018 is the starter in the series not picked in the first round."
