It is the NBA offseason and Jalen Brunson has time on his hands right now to get petty on social media. In his recent interaction, the New York Knicks point guard clapped back at his very own parody account.
The conversation started when the former Villanova Wildcat was giving time to answer questions on Twitter. A verified parody account, @BrunsonMuse, which has over 7,000 followers, threw in a question, "Why don’t you follow back the best Jalen Page on Twitter?" Brunson replied:
"I do follow my mother back on Twitter idk what you’re talking about?"

Brunson is coming off his best season so far in the NBA, making the Knicks' investment on him during last year's free agency worth it.
In Brunson's borderline All-Star year, he was able to tally career-high averages of 24 points and 6.2 assists while shooting 41.6% from the 3-point line.
Knicks fans embraced Jalen Brunson as the rejuvenated point guard helped the team reach the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals before losing to the surging Miami Heat. It was the highest playoff finish since the 2012-13 season when the team was still led by Carmelo Anthony.
The Knicks finished the 2022-23 season with a 47-35 record and secured the fifth best record in the NBA Eastern Conference.
