Frank Ntilikina is alive! If you are doubting the veracity of this proclamation, just take a look at the statline in the title of this video. That is not the statline of a dead person. That is the statline of an alive person. The Knicks have been somewhat resurgent after firing their coach (which was…

I’m not usually the guy who puts a lot of stock into concepts like “confidence”. The way I figure it, everybody in the NBA has confidence. They might have slightly smaller or larger amounts of it relative to each other, but they all have lots of it. My theory is vexed, however, by the existence…

Frank Ntilkina has been hovering around an average of ten points per 36 minutes all three years he’s been in the league. This season, that puts him at 263 out of 287 players who meet the unknowable qualification criteria for appearing on basketball-reference’s per-36 scoring leaderboards (by the way, Kenrich Williams really sucks). Ntilkina’s shooting…

Another glimmering flash of potential before another string of games of bland mediocrity. Yawn. Wake me up when Frank Ntilikina puts together a serious run of nice performances and then I’ll get excited. For now, I’ll leave it to the Knicks fans among us to get excited.

Any meatball on an NBA roster can hit a few garbage layups, maybe get fouled a few times, and fool people into thinking they had a “good” scoring game. Literally anyone can do it.

Obviously that’s quite an extreme outcome for a comparatively mundane event, so it’s a good thing that he came up a little short. But he still got way…

After games scoring eighteen and now sixteen points, it appears that Frank Ntilikina has emerged from the other side of the severe slump that he was in. I don’t want to get hyperbolic and call it the return of “VINTAGE NTILIKINA”, because such a construct does not exist, but it should be heartening for Knicks…

We just witnessed, by far, the most explosive scoring outburst that Frank Ntilikina has ever had. Maybe really ever, usually I mean “in the NBA” when I say “ever”, but not this time. I really think that maybe this was the hottest he had ever been on the basketball court. If you just watched this…

Stephen Curry did us the favor of gracing us with a brand-new, never-heard-before nickname for Frank Ntilikina. It was creative, audacious, topical and relevant. Many other adjectives could be applied successfully to this wonderful new nickname creation. When I first heard it I was eager to start using it in my video descriptions. It spoke…
