Jalen Brunson reveals how iconic 3-point celebration originated
NY Post
DENVER — As Seinfeld might say, it’s a celebration about nothing.
Jalen Brunson’s hand-over-the-mouth gesture has become synonymous with the greatest Knicks point guard since Clyde Frazier, copied by others as the symbol of an opportune 3-point conversion and memed on social media.
It’s also shrouded in mystery after Brunson declined last season to divulge the meaning, turning back a question about it on an ESPN broadcast and later telling reporters, “That’s between me and my teammates.”
In an interview with The Post on Thursday, Brunson explained the gesture’s origin and its anticlimactic significance.
“It truly came out of nowhere and it truly has no meaning other than three points on the board,” he said. “I just kind of stuck with it because it was unique and nobody was doing it.”
There was an evolution to Brunson’s hand-tucked-under-the-nose celebration.
