NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who just led his team to an NBA championship last month, didn’t hold back at Fanatics Fest on Saturday. He joined WWE world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns to reveal his personal WWE Mount Rushmore, and the picks definitely show his long-standing fandom.
Brunson’s Top 3 Legends
The Knicks guard laid out his first three choices on stage with Reigns and Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. Brunson went with Rhea Ripley, Jeff Hardy, and the legendary Undertaker. These aren’t random picks either, they cover serious ground in WWE history. Ripley is a powerhouse, one of the top women’s wrestlers ever, period. Hardy, what a legend, arguably the greatest tag team wrestler and a former world champion himself. And The Undertaker? Come on, you know the deal. Iconic, his WrestleMania undefeated streak alone spanned over two decades, making him a true pro wrestling giant.
From Finals MVP to Steel Chair Hero
This isn’t just a casual fan making a list; Brunson has been a wrestling head for years, attending multiple WWE events. Remember June 28, 2024? That SmackDown at Madison Square Garden? Brunson was there, and he actually stopped Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton and Logan Paul from going after LA Knight, wielding a steel chair like a boss! After bringing home an NBA championship for his team, and grabbing those Finals MVP honors, the guy is basically a hero.
So what’s next? You know he’s gonna get a massive hero’s welcome. Brunson is advertised to appear with Roman Reigns at Saturday Night’s Main Event. It’s happening at Madison Square Garden, his team’s home court, and you know the crowd is going to absolutely lose it for their champ.
