Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas said New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson won't be labeled as a superstar until he wins a championship.
Jalen Brunson was one of the biggest reasons why the New York Knicks had a deep playoff run this season.
He carried the team when Julius Randle was out with an injury, and became a problem for teams in the playoffs, dropping 40-point games multiple times.
Despite Brunson's crazy performances, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas doesn't think he's a superstar yet.

"They're never going to coin [Jalen Brunson] as a superstar until he starts winning a championship," Arenas said on his podcast.
Arenas also mentioned that Brunson doesn't have the charisma to reach superstar status.
"You also need a personality, too," he said.
Before the Knicks' exit from the playoffs, Brunson was averaging 32.4 points on 44% shooting from the field.
