Candace Parker's comments on Jalen Brunson's playoff performances have sparked controversy. Parker questioned Brunson's performance in the second round of the 2023 playoffs, despite his impressive stats. Alan Hahn defended Brunson, highlighting his outstanding performance and advocating for his All-Star selection.
