We’re all hurting for a some real basketball ‘round these parts, but one thing that will always sooth the troubled of a Knicks fan is seeing their beloved ‘Bockers hitting the gym to work on their games.
Workout videos may be but a sip of water in the August b-ball desert, but there is something extra thirst-quenching about watching rookie point guard Frank Ntilikina working out with trainer-to-the-stars Chris Brickley in New York.
The Instagram caption reads “late night grind” and was posted around 3 AM, so clearly the rook was burning the midnight oil. Hell yes! Ntilikina currently lives with his agent’s family in New Jersey, but ball is life and New York is the Mecca of ball, even in the wee hours of the morning.
Frank was pleasantly surprised Thursday afternoon when his NBA 2K18 rating was released. Truly a dream come true.
Wait a minute...didn’t Dennis Smith earn a 76 rating?
