"With 4:49 remaining in the fourth quarter, Jalen Brunson splashed a 3-pointer in the corner to give him 42 points against the Miami Heat on Dec. 21. He looked at his right hand, his ring and pinkie fingers folded down, leaving three fingers remaining, and he brought it under his nose quickly as he ran down the court displaying his trademark 3-point celebration."
"On Oct. 22, Myleen Rulloda posted a compilation on Instagram of her daughter, Rya. The videos included Rya holding a Brunson doll and often yelling his surname and doing his celebration while posing for photos. Rulloda, a New York Knicks fan since the 1990s, wrote: "POV: your daughter is obsessed with Jalen Brunson." The post garnered over 1.7 million views and 180,000 likes. Two days later, Brunson commented an emoji of a hand heart."
