Jalen Brunson says game-winning shots aren’t pressure. Pressure is not knowing if you’ll have a contract tomorrow
“Pressure, for me, is defined differently. Everyone thinks the fourth-quarter clutch moments are pressure…”
“Watching my dad work out the way he did for about eight or nine years on non-guaranteed contracts, not really knowing when he’s going to be picked up, when he’s going to get cut. If he was going to play at all. I didn’t know that at the time”
“Knowing my dad’s journey in the league, I find that to be pressure. You don’t know what’s next. Your career is in another person’s hands. Not being guaranteed”
Host: “His final year, he finally got his first guaranteed contract. It’s insane when you think about it, how much he battled to carve out that career”
