About that infamous French meeting.
Last week, Knicks coach David Fizdale revealed French point guard Frank Ntilikina came into his office a few weeks ago and stated he wants also to be known as “a dog’’ – a familiar phrase characterizing many of the 2019-20 Knicks’ new players.
Fizdale said there was more to their talk. It’s been evident in Ntilikina’s play — underscored Wednesday night. The once-hesitant Ntilikina looked free as an eagle in Philadelphia, dancing into pick-and-rolls, firing up clean shots from mid-range and the 3-point line.
When a reporter asked Fizdale after the game, point-blank, if Ntilkina just doesn’t give a f–k anymore, the Knicks coach smiled.
