Earlier this month, Jalen added another remarkable milestone to his resume by being named to the 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 Sports List, recognizing athletes who excel both on and off the court.
“Jalen Brunson finished fifth in MVP voting in 2023-24 while leading the Knicks to their best season in more than a decade,” Forbes highlighted. Jalen’s 2024 accomplishments include earning his first All-Star and All-NBA selections, leading the Knicks to 50 wins and a second-seed playoff berth, and securing a four-year contract extension.
Off the court, Jalen’s impact extends far beyond the court. His leadership with Second Round Foundation continues to inspire, empowering underserved youth to dream big and achieve their goals.
Joining Jalen on the list were athletes like Caitlin Clark, Jayson Tatum, and Haley & Hanna Cavinder, further showcasing the wide-reaching influence of young leaders in sports.
This recognition from Forbes celebrates not only Jalen’s success in the NBA but also his commitment to making a difference. It’s a well-deserved honor for a player and leader who embodies excellence, both on the court and in the community.
