Why Jalen Brunsons wife Ali believes she helps Knicks star make shots

The Knicks are one game away from winning their first NBA championship in 53 years after their instant classic comeback win against the Spurs on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.While all of the World’s Most Famous Arena was rocking after OG Abunoby’s heroic tip-in during the final seconds, nobody was probably more relieved than star guard Jalen Brunson’s wife, Ali Marks Brunson.Ali seems to believe she has a hand in her husband making his shots, which she conveyed during a conversation with Josh Hart’s wife, Shannon, as part of an Instagram video posted on Thursday.The two Knicks teammates and Villanova alums notably have a podcast together, “Roommates Show.”At one point in their discussion about their NBA Finals experience, Shannon said: “I feel like every time [Hart] misses, I’m looking at him.So I’m looking at him until the ball is released from his hands, and then I see if it goes in.”Ali replied: “I try to match my breath up to [Brunson’s] breath… And then, when he shoots, I go—” before mimicking a shooting motion with her hand.She then added, “Every time I do it, it goes in.

And sometimes, I’m like, ‘Alright, I’m not gonna do it this time.’ And he misses!”New York was down by a staggering 29 points at one point during the second half of Game 4, but managed to claw their way back to the point where they had a lead late in the fourth quarter.Another unbelievable Knicks win and another cover worth framing to hold onto this moment.
