Brunson's rise to stardom has become one for the record books with the New York Knicks. In three short years he has become one of the most prolific point guards in the game. And as the captain of New York's top basketball team, his rise to being one of the best has left everyone around him, and playing against him taking notice.

The Knicks' guard has missed just the game on New Year's Day this season and was on court Monday night to face Detroit.

For the game, the Knicks could be without their best player, as Jalen Brunson is on the injury report. The All-Star point guard is averaging 25.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists per contest while shooting 48.
