NextImg:Jalen Brunson keeps making NBA history with ridiculous Knicks playoff performance

Jalen Brunson’s historic postseason shows no signs of slowing down.

The star guard posted 43 points, six assists and six rebounds in the Knicks’ 121-117 Game 1 win over the Pacers at Madison Square Garden to open the Eastern Conference semifinal round.

In doing so, he joined rare company:

Not bad.

The 27-year-old has turned his game up several notches in the postseason, torching the 76ers in the first round to the tune of 35.5 points per game in the six-game series — an effort that saw him become the seventh player in league history to score 40-plus in three consecutive games, and the first since Bernard King in 1984.

That came after Brunson finished fourth in the league with a 28.7 points-per-game average during the regular season.

His domination of Philadelphia likely helped earn him a Nike billboard at the corner of West 34th Street and Seventh Avenue in Midtown, unveiled on Monday.

“Don’t sleep,” the billboard reads over a picture of Brunson from behind wearing his blue and orange No.11 jersey with one arm raised in the air.

Following a regular season that saw him ascend among the NBA’s elite, there weren’t many sleeping on him entering the postseason — and it’s hard to believe there will be anyone left when it’s all over.
