A fan got caught checking out Jalen Brunson during Thursday night’s game between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
We’re not kidding.
As Brunson was inbounding the ball for the Knicks, a woman behind him was clearly staring him down. It’s unclear if she was just starstruck in that moment or if she’s genuinely a huge fan of him.
It didn’t take long for this clip to go viral on social media.
“Watching the Knicks destroying Boston and they caught this girl on national television,” a fan wrote on X. “Jalen Brunson been balling though.”

Brunson was sensational for the Knicks on Thursday night, dropping 39 points on the Celtics. He has scored at least 35 points in each of the past five games.
The Knicks have a chance to capture the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. They’re only a game back of the Bucks for that spot in the standings.
If the playoffs started today, the Knicks would face the Pacers in the opening round. They’d be heavily favored in large part because of Brunson.
Though he’s not considered an MVP candidate for some bizarre reason, Brunson is averaging 28.6 points and 6.7 assists per game for the Knicks this season.
