After arriving in New York three years ago, Knicks star Jalen Brunson has become the face of the franchise.

On Wednesday, he became the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year.

"I think some people are born into it," Brunson told TNT's "Inside The NBA" on Wednesday night about being clutch. "I think I had to learn back in high school, and I've gotten better and better at each stage, and here we are."

Brunson has established himself as one of the most consistent clutch players in the league. New York was fifth in the league with a 61% win rate in clutch games this season, while Brunson shot 51% in clutch time this season and led the league with 5.
