Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that Jalen Brunson's 45-point performance in Game 5 locked down the NBA Finals MVP and the Knicks championship. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Jalen Brunson's 45-point performance in Game 5 locked down the NBA Finals MVP and the Knicks championship.
