Jalen Brunson was named the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals MVP after leading the New York Knicks to a 4-0 sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 25.5 points per game in the series. Brunson also averaged 7.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds and shot 47.8 percent from the field, anchoring New York's offense and late-game execution. The Knicks advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, and Brunson's scoring and playmaking have established him as the franchise's clear leader and a legitimate title-caliber point guard.
