Jalen Brunson’s 100% market share reflects the Knicks’ 4-1 NBA Finals victory over the Spurs on June 13, capped by his record 45-point Game 5 closeout that included 15 fourth-quarter points and series averages of 32.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. His consistent scoring, clutch play across the Eastern Conference run, and leadership in ending New York’s 53-year title drought solidified trader consensus around the Knicks guard as the clear Bill Russell Trophy recipient. The only realistic challenges to this outcome would involve an unprecedented post-series reversal in official voting or a rules dispute over eligibility, neither of which has precedent in recent NBA history.
