Jalen Brunson, who led the New York Knicks to their first NBA championship in 53 years in June, guest starred as a cop in Thursday’s episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”

He appears in the episode for one brief scene, meeting up with Mariska Hargitay‘s Olivia Benson to provide information on a suspect he’d had a run-in with in the past. When they first sit down together at a café, she compliments him on his recent promotion to detective after serving as a beat cop.
