Jalen Brunson’s sister trolls Pistons after Knicks win: ‘Left with a 40 piece and a W’

There’s no other way to put it: Jalen Brunson and the Knicks got the last laugh over the Pistons.

The pot began stirring a little extra with Malik Beasley trolling Mikal Bridges on X ahead of Game 6 — responding “Minutes?” to a Knicks fan who posted that Bridges would “[go] for 44 Thursday.”

It continued with a paid billboard in Detroit reading, “Brunson, you’re a mother flopper.”

Well, after Brunson delivered the final dagger to the Pistons’ season with his series-winning three-pointer in Game 6, the script has flipped with the trolling.

“Left with a 40 piece and a W,” Brunson’s sister, Erica, posted to X in response to the viral billboard. “Next time you pay to have our name up in Detroit think twice.”

As Knicks fans know better than anyone, Brunson thrives with this kind of target on his back — and Detroit certainly provided endless shots and ammunition.

Pistons center Jalen Duren was seen chirping Brunson for his foul-baiting antics earlier in the series, saying, “You flopping motherf–ker” after Brunson drew a foul on him.

Not only that, but Pistons fans chanted “F–k you Brunson” constantly throughout the three games in Detroit, and even had a deafening “Flopper!” chant late in Game 6 just before Brunson ignited a run to come back and win the game for New York.

Brunson finished with 40 points, particularly thriving down the stretch in the fourth quarter to close out the inexperienced Pistons. 

The NBA’s Clutch Player of the Year did his job time and time again.

Detroit did not win a single game at Little Caesars Arena in the series.

While the Knicks escaped in six games, a different beast awaits with a matchup against the Boston Celtics sitting in Round 2. 

Celtics fans also have a history of being quite rowdy, but they may want to be careful with poking the bear that is Brunson.
