Both of Jay Wright's NCAA Tournament national championship teams at Villanova featured Jalen Brunson, who just led the New York Knicks to the franchise's first NBA title since 1973 with a victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Brunson, along with his former Villanova teammates Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges, took down the Spurs in five games — completing one of the the most dominant postseason runs in NBA history.

Brunson was named Finals MVP after averaging 32.6 points per game in the championship series. He closed out the series with a legendary performance, scoring a series-high 45 points in Game 5.

Brunson silenced countless doubters with this championship performance. Many doubted his ability to lead a championship team as the clear No. 1 option, including Wright.

Wright joined "The Dan Patrick Show" on Monday, discussing what makes Brunson so special.

"He's taken his perceived inadequacies like being too small, being too slow, not being athletic enough, and figured out how people are defending him. And how to use that to his advantage," Wright said.

Brunson spent the first four seasons of his NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks, playing second fiddle to his NBA draft classmate Luka Doncic. He signed with the Knicks in free agency before the 2022-23 season, taking over as the team's clear leader.

Now four years later, Brunson is arguably the greatest Knicks player of all time.
