When Brunson is cut off on a drive or recognizes that he has a smaller defender he will turn his drive into a post up. This is often called a Barkley move because it was made famous by the legendary Charles Barkley. Once in the post up Brunson can use his size to finish over smaller players and his footwork and fakes to create an advantage. Not only does Brunson score out of a post up, but it provides a great opportunity to pass out of it and find open teammates. In the post up many help defenders turn their heads or dig into the post and this is an ample time to cut to the basket or relocate and Brunson is easily able to find open teammates.

I am always a firm believer that Jalen Brunson is a great basketball player. He has proven a lot of things in this field, and there is no reason for me not to admire this man. Watching the video was really refreshing because we can see that Brunson has improved a lot! He is a good gamer in the first place, but he has improved in this video that you posted. His agility will alway be his signature and I don't mind watching him all day. By the way, I also have my other favorite players too!
