Jalen Brunson Has One NBA Comp — And Bob Ryan Says Nobody Remembers Him

Is Jalen Brunson a modern original — or has the NBA seen his game before? Bob Ryan, who covered the league for 50 years, has the perfect comparison: Gail Goodrich, the crafty, undersized, left-handed scoring guard who averaged 25 points a game for the 1971-72 Lakers… alongside Jerry West.

Like Brunson, Goodrich was overlooked, undersized, and could take bigger defenders down to the block and make them pay. Bob Ryan breaks down why the comparison fits — and why almost nobody remembers just how good Goodrich was.
