Love this! Thanks for sharing. Brunson is smart and crafty. A great example for every coach and player to learn from.
One minute of Jalen Brunson's finishing package. Stride stops, Euros, floaters, spin moves, same foot/hand, reverses. Take notes, kids.

1 on 1 handoff → 2 on 2 read. Wing handoff, downhill drive and a simple decision: finish it if the help stays, kick it if the corner defender commits. Great for timing, pressure finishing and punishing rotations.
