Knicks’ Enes Kanter defending his teammates and the rim

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — LeBron James took a parting shot at the Knicks on Tuesday morning. And once again, Knicks center Enes Kanter stepped up to reject it.

The morning after engineering a 23-point comeback against the Knicks, James posted a photo of himself at Madison Square Garden along with a description that declared that he was king of New York. Kanter, however, wasn’t having any of it.

“We’ve already got a king. It’s Kristaps Porzingis,” Kanter said at practice Tuesday, referring to the NBA’s third-leading scorer. “Sorry about that.”

Not only do the Knicks have a king, it appears they also have a fearless and funny 6-11 knight.
