Jalen Brunson Responds to Candace Parker's Inaccurate Playoff Comments

Parker faces backlash for her comments and subsequent apology, while Brunson continues his stellar season.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson responded to WNBA star Candace Parker's inaccurate comments about his playoff performance last year, with a subtle jab on social media.
Parker had incorrectly stated on 'Inside the NBA' that Brunson had a better first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers but struggled against the Miami Heat, which contradicts the stats showing Brunson's superior performance against Miami.
Parker issued an apology on social media, but fans and fellow NBA players like Josh Hart have criticized her for her comments and her handling of the situation.
Brunson, who is having a stellar season and is predicted to be an All-Star for the first time in his career, averaged 31.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists during the six-game series against the Heat.
Despite the controversy, Parker maintains her stance on the difficulty of winning a championship with a small player as the best player, a point she says is being overlooked in the backlash.
