In a powerful article posted to The Players Tribune, Ntilikina revealed that he asked Michael Jordan to reveal the key to his success.

Jordan’s response was as follows:

“What you have to do is love basketball. You can’t be great unless you really love the game. Once you love basketball more than anyone else in the world, then you’re willing to sacrifice. You’re willing to wake up early. You’re willing to do what it takes to be the best. But first, you have to really love it.”

Frank was 16 when he reached out to Jordan

Frank will be goven every opportunity because the knicks lack quality wing defenders. He has to hit his open shots and he has to be more active off ball.

no, but frank will have a defined role and will be used to his strength.

if thibs loves trapping and using doubles teams, frank is very good with that.

NBAbrothers needs to teach Clyde how to make these threads. There are so many options you need a calculator to figure out if the board thinks Frank will play more or not.

The draft and Free agency will be huge in terms of Frank getting minutes. If we have the same garbage backcourt Frank will play. Kind of like the upcoming election, you pick the least terrible option.

Frank needs to shoot at a slightly below average rate from three, that will cement a role for him. Haven't seen an indication he will do that but there is still hope.

Frank will be used at 40m/g until his groin breaks down again.

BP's per 36 numbers are kinda crazy. i agree that on offense he was probably the best option at 4 last year.

i want randle to reach his potential. i AM curious to see what he would do under thibs.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

I just don't see the fit with Mitch. So that or any center that can shoot. I guess you could put randle as the backup 5 and he would be productive off the bench but one would he accept that role and two would Thibs want Randle at the 5 for defensive purposes?

Thibs likes defense and highIQ.

Frank is defense and highIQ.


But because Dolan is still around, something is going to get **** up, and he'll make thibs play the sexy names and lose, versus defensive guys and win

Randle and Mitch had a positive net rating together under Miller. Def looking forward to this duo under Thibs. I can see Thibs unleashing Randle like he did to Gasol in Chicago.
