Hammon's NBA Championship Claim Tested
from San Antonio News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Becky Hammon stands by her bold claim that a team can’t win an NBA title with a “small” player as its best — despite Jalen Brunson, standing just 6-foot-2, leading the Knicks to the Finals after earning MVP honors in the Eastern Conference Finals. Brunson’s historic run, averaging over 25 points and nearly 8 assists, has reignited debate about NBA norms. Hammon, citing Allen Iverson’s MVP season and her own Western Conference bias, insists her comments were rooted in history — not disrespect. She’s open to being proven wrong, even as she admits Brunson is elite. With deep ties to the Spurs, Hammon’s loyalty remains clear — and the NBA world watches to see if Brunson’s triumph upends decades of assumptions.
