Controversy Over Becky Hammon's Comments on Knicks' Jalen Brunson

Hammon Doubts Brunson's Ability to Lead Knicks to Championship Due to His Size

Las Vegas Aces head coach and ESPN analyst, Becky Hammon, sparked controversy by stating that New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson is 'too small' to lead the team to a championship.
Brunson, currently in his second season with the Knicks, has been performing exceptionally, recording 25.3 points and 5.9 assists per game on 47 percent shooting from the field and 46 percent from 3-point range.
Knicks' head coach, Tom Thibodeau, defended Brunson, stating that anyone who doubts him doesn't really know him and that the only opinions that matter are those within the team.
Hammon, who has led the Aces to back-to-back WNBA titles, stood by her comments, reiterating that if a team's best player is small, they won't win a championship.
Brunson and the Knicks have not let Hammon's comments affect them, focusing on their performance and winning games.
