Jalen Brunson’s academic accomplishments give him an ultra-rare NBA resume

Jay Wright called it an “obligatory meeting” with Jalen Brunson’s parents, understanding the crafty point guard was likely leaving college.

It was right after Brunson’s sophomore season, and Wright suggested the NBA as the next move.

But Rick and Sandra Brunson had other ideas.

“His mom said, ‘Nope, he hasn’t gotten his degree yet.’ And his dad said, ‘He needs another year of learning, he needs another year of basketball IQ.’ ” Wright told The Post. “It was that simple.

“I was like, ‘Is that it?’ His parents are like, ‘That’s it.’ I’m like ‘All right, we get him for another year.’”

The basketball IQ portion of Brunson’s higher learning is well-documented and on display nightly at MSG, the way the Knicks All-Star navigates the pick-and-roll and creates turnovers from the opposition with his heady play.
