The 2025 NBA playoffs have reached the final four, and the Eastern and Western Conference Finals are about to begin. The Western Conference will see the Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, while the Eastern Conference will see the New York Knicks take on the Indiana Pacers.
As the series approaches, the debate over who is the best player in the playoffs continues to heat up. Well-known commentator Stephen A. Smith supported Brunson on the "First Take" program and called him "the undisputed best player in the playoffs."
Smith said: "Jalen Brunson is the best player in the playoffs right now. I know Gilgeous-Alexander is going to be the regular season MVP and he's doing great, but in the playoffs, Brunson has the absolute advantage."
"I mention Ant-Man because if there's one guy who can steal the show on this stage, it's him," Smith said. "Anthony Edwards has the kind of explosiveness that dominates the game and can break all the discussions about 'best player.'"
