Patrick Beverley believes Jalen Brunson’s championship-winning season has pushed him ahead of Allen Iverson in the all-time rankings, making a case that would have sounded unthinkable just a few years ago.
Brunson etched his name into New York Knicks history by leading the franchise to its first NBA championship in 53 years, guiding the team past the San Antonio Spurs in five games during the 2026 NBA Finals.
The ***** le run has inevitably sparked debates about Brunson’s place among the greatest guards of his generation, and Beverley offered a particularly bold take when asked to compare him to one of the NBA’s most iconic figures.
Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Beverley was asked a straightforward question: Allen Iverson or Jalen Brunson?
The veteran guard did not need much time to think about his answer.
