You can start with your countdown. The NBA All-Star Weekend is here with all its action and drama. So much is about to happen in the next two days. We’ve already seen the Celebrity All-Games roll out on Friday, with Team Bonds taking the crown home. Now, Jalen Brunson and others hit the floor for a starry 3-point contest. But hey, there’s a unique twist to the story which might be a boon to 37 million Americans!
As you know, the New York Knicks superstar, Jalen Brunson, is ready for his 2nd All-Star appearance for Team Kenny’s Young Stars. He will have Tyler Herro, the Detroit Pistons stand-out, Cade Cunningham, Anthony Edwards, and more on his side on the court. Meanwhile, Brunson will also feature in the 3-point contest on Feb.15. Here too, Cunningham will be joining him for the action.
This is where the twist in the story comes in. America’s favorite food delivery partner, DoorDash, has an offer. Well, more like a jackpot, to be precise. Reportedly, the $89.64B enterprise has set a target for Jalen Brunson and Cade Cunningham. In 2024, the 28-year-old Knicks star dropped 24 points in round one. If he and Cunningham combine for 50, DoorDash DashPass members score big. They’ll get 50% off their weekend orders!

Well, that’s an enticing offer for the 37 million DoorDash users. However, their fate is brilliantly intermingled with Jalen Brunson and Cade Cunningham. But then, it wouldn’t be surprising if both stars pull up the ‘impossible’, thus giving the audience their fair share of the 50% discount.
Meanwhile, let’s look at the stats of the players in conversation. Maybe, this could help the DoorDash DashPass members put their bets on whether they’ll get the offer or not.

Jalen Brunson and Cunningham’s stats for millions of Americans and their 50% discount desire
With stats by his side, Jalen Brunson has responsibilities on his shoulders. Currently, he is averaging 26.1 points per game, has 2.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and an insane 49.1 FG% (take note!). Since landing in New York for the 2022-23 season, he’s been a sniper from deep, draining 2.4 threes per game at an impressive 40.4% clip. So, there’s hope that Brunson could add to the share of DoorDash’s expectations, that is, 50 points.
Meanwhile, a first-time All-Star and Detroit’s first since 2019, Cade Cunningham isn’t exactly known for his three-point stroke. But guess what? He’s letting it fly like never before—6.3 attempts per game. And while his 35.3% clip isn’t elite, it’s one of his best yet. But here’s another quick trivia: Cunningham is averaging 45.5 FG% this season.
