Brandon Knight is the Santa Claus of gifting players highlight reels. Never-ending generosity.

Knight's ankles are going to last long at this rate. He shouldn't be guarding anyone with a Cavs jersey.
Handsome.

Can we get a side on angle? Looked like he just pushed him to the ground.

I haven't seen JR much in the last few years but I can't believe he didn't shoot that

Every Cavs game I see, I can't believe how often he passes to a better shot. Some guys excel in very specific circumstances I guess.

It was even more surprising that he didn't take the shot, he's becoming a smarter player it seems.

This is how you integrate and1 with fundamentals
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

Knight is a human highlight reel, just not in the way he would like.

Believe it or not Smith has been very good to excellent when it comes to passing, defense and overall being a great teammate since he's been a Cav. He fits like a glove with the team.

these 'falling backwards ankle breakers' aren't really crossovers in the sense of 'shaking somebody'. Knight just tripped backwards/lost balance, he didn't get lost by wizardry ballhandling.

Of course it's shaking somebody, he stopped on a dime where Knight thought he was going to keep driving. Anyway you slice it that's a ankle breaker.

Am I the only one who saw a flop?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I see what you mean, but the more i examine the more it seems like a flop . trying to draw the push off offensive. When i think ankle breaker, i see somebody getting left in the dust or legit stumbling trying to stay with the ball handler. its the same **** with the cp3 'crossover' that went viral

I was expecting JR Smith to land a right hook on Brandon Knight by the title, lol.

I thought that at first, but I did some forensic analysis and it looked like his feet got tangled and he couldn't recover his balance
