Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon admitted Tuesday night she was “wrong” about Jalen Brunson after her 2023 comments on the New York Knicks star resurfaced following the team’s NBA title win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I was wrong. I was wrong,” Hammon\u00a0told reporters<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday ahead of the Las Vegas Aces game against the New York Liberty. “My opinion was wrong.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hammon’s comments come after she seemingly doubled down on her 2023 comments suggesting Brunson wasn’t a “1A” star at the Aces shootaround earlier Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Jalen, all he did was prove history wrong,” she said, per the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>‘s Madeline Kenney. “He proves he’s an outlier, so you can put his name next to Steph Curry and Isiah Thomas, and I thought he played brilliantly, especially down the stretch.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
