New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has rubbed off on another athlete in the city.
Jalen Brunson has taken the city by storm this year, helping put the New York Knicks back into relevancy in the NBA.
He's becoming a true New York legend in more ways than one, and he's got other athletes in the city buzzing. In Sunday's game between the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants, catcher Francisco Alvarez was caught on camera trying to mimic Brunson's signature 3-point celebration.As a top prospect for the Mets, Alvarez has turned into a fan favorite, and this only helps his case as he embraces the New York sports culture. Alvarez suffered a thumb injury last month that sidelined him for a while.
But when Alvarez does come back, Knicks fans would definitely want to see him re-enact Brunson's celebration after he hits a home run or nails a runner trying to steal second base.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites. His work has also been featured in 247 Sports and SB Nation as a writer and podcaster. Brener has been with Fan Nation since 2021. Brener grew up in Houston, going to Astros, Rockets and Texans games as a kid.
