New York Knicks star guard Jalen Brunson has played quite a bit of playoff basketball in his seven seasons as a pro.

This playoff run is Brunson's fifth as an NBA player, and third with the New York Knicks. Brunson signed with New York in free agency before the 2022–23 season after spending the first four years of his career with the Dallas Mavericks.

Brunson has blossomed throughout his career from a bench player, to a role player, to a star in New York. Now he's leading the Knicks this postseason to what he and the franchise hopes will be a deep run.

Brunson has never made an NBA Finals, and if he delivers a title to that franchise, he will be the toast of the town.

Brunson has averaged 24.4 points per game to go along with 4.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds on 45.9% shooting in his playoff career. Here's more details on Brunson's individual and team success in his previous playoff runs:
