Knicks' Jalen Brunson status in NYC made clear in viral Michael Porter Jr. video originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jalen Brunson will forever be a New York City legend.
He led the New York Knicks to their first NBA championship in 53 years, and he did it in heroic fashion.
Consider him the King of NYC.
That certainly comes with its perks, too.
A video is going viral of a nightlife spot in the city that Brunson strolls straight into, essentially being welcomed with open arms.

MPJ was eventually allowed in, too, so at least he got in the door, too.
Doors will continue to open for Brunson in the Big Apple, though. He's not tall, but he's recognizable enough that his life in the city has likely changed permanently after winning the championship.
Brunson will be beloved for as long as he remains with the Knicks, and really, long after that, too.
