Jalen Brunson’s “SVU” dream is alive and well.
The Knicks star capped off his NBA Finals MVP performance by saying afterward that he wanted to nab a guest star role on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” alongside his friend Mariska Hargitay.
And while the actor is a huge fan of Brunson, her “Law & Order” colleague Christopher Meloni is also on board with the Knicks star getting a shot on the show.
Meloni, who plays detective Elliot Stabler, told TMZ on Friday he was “absolutely” supportive of the idea.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but he’s a world champion, he can do whatever the hell he wants,” Meloni said.

The comments come after Hargitay’s presence during the Knicks’ championship run, as she cheered on Brunson and the Knicks as they won the team’s first title since 1973.
Hargitay, who plays detective Olivia Benson on “SVU,” has developed a close friendship with Brunson because of his fandom of the show.
Brunson previously admitted that he looks for her during Knicks home games, and said on the “Richard Jefferson Show” that he does “love her to death [and] she knows it.”
Hargitay and Brunson also shared a touching moment after the Knicks’ incredible Game 4 comeback against San Antonio.
“I love you so much, I’m so happy!” Hargitay said as they shared a hug.
Hargitay and millions of other Knicks fans were able to celebrate a championship a few days later as New York once again erased an early San Antonio lead to win 94-90 in Game 5.
Brunson saved his best performance of the series for last, as he scored 45 points to get the Knicks over the line in a low-scoring affair in Texas.
The All-Star guard has forever etched himself in New York Sports lore, but an “SVU” guest appearance would only add to his growing star even more.
