Add The New York Post on Google This was a real buzzer beater.
A speed painter created an astonishingly realistic portrait of Jalen Brunson in just 10 minutes — using only his fingers — shocking the Knicks star with the MVP work of art.
Cody Sabol of Pittsburgh depicted the King of New York in prayer — from memory — dunking his hands into oil paint and adding strokes of color to a large canvas — which he chronicled live in a video he posted on social media this week.

When Sabol reveals that it took him just 10 minutes, Captain Clutch made sure he heard him correctly.
“Ten minutes?” Brunson asks, incredulously, and then autographs the canvas.
Sabol’s social media pages are filled with live 10-minute paintings of other famous athletes, like Aaron Judge, Jack Hughes, Lionel Messi and Jaxson Dart and entertainers from Dolly Parton to Michael Jackson.
Jalen Brunson was surprised to learn that Cody Sabol’s portrait of him only took 10 minutes to paint. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The Kentucky Christian University alum, who was originally on a path to become a youth pastor, even painted Jesus.
After he revealed Brunson’s on TikTok and Instagram, he was flooded with praise.
“Doing portraits from memory and pairing with your finger is absolutely insane,” one TikToker gushed.
“Ridiculous talent man, this is incredible!” another said.
“Some things are so easy to some people … just like how it’s so easy for Brunson to smoke the Spurs,” someone else said, while another replied, “Brunson in 10, Knicks in 5!”
