A major surprise and total earthquake is being generated by the latest news surrounding Jalen Brunson. No one could imagine that a man who has already represented USA Basketball and who enjoys the status of a great star would choose to represent Jamaica citing his connection to the Caribbean country through his maternal grandparents. The most tremendous thing is that he joins three other great NBA players.

An exotic and very exciting project, a major challenge with much to gain and little to lose. This is how Jalen Brunson sees the possibility of embarking on a new adventure in FIBA basketball representing Jamaica. It is surprising that a great NBA star with a history in USA Basketball would make this decision, but it is less so considering that he is a born winner and wants to be a leader on the team he plays for.

Furthermore, he has the firm intention of three other top-level NBA players joining him on this adventure. Just as with the Bahamas recently, the magnetism of Jalen Brunson could definitively entice the Thompson brothers and Norman Powell. But it doesn't stop there. They are also trying to recruit Scottie Barnes, Devin Vassell, and Isaiah Stewart, in what is a significant commitment by the island country to basketball.
