Overview

• 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.
