About this episode
Jalen Brunson sits down with Craig Melvin on this episode of "Glass Half Full" to talk about bringing a championship back to New York for the first time in 53 years and why he still won’t call himself the king of the city. He explains why watching his dad grind through non-guaranteed NBA contracts redefined pressure for him, the conversation with Bob Hurley Sr. at 13 that changed how he takes coaching, and why he blocks out praise just as much as criticism. Brunson also opens up about fatherhood and his new children’s book, "Jalen Plays It All." Plus, his mom Sandra confirms she has a secret court side nickname for her son that neither plan to ever share.
