Last night at the Capital One Arena, Jalen Brunson put on a show against the Washington Wizards, scoring 55 points to help his team win after overtime. His teammates greeted him with GOAT chants after the remarkable performance.
Following the game, as Brunson was speaking to reporters in the locker room, his enthusiastic teammates in the background kept interrupting him with goat-like bleating noises. Brunson is 28 years old. Because of such performance, Brunson was implied to be the Greatest of All Time (GOAT).
Brunson found it difficult to keep a straight face when responding to inquiries about the game and his performance.

The Knicks guard, though, wasn’t too happy with his team’s performance against the Wizards. According to the 2024 All-Star, his squad was slower than the home team for most of the match.
He stated: “We were a step slow all night. You’ve got to give them credit and fourth quarter we picked up a little bit and found a way to put the game in our favor.”
