Theo Pinson has not been the attraction at the microphone courtside for any Knicks postgame interviews, but Monday night he stepped to the microphone like a master of ceremonies introducing the main act, announcing a simple statement.
As teammates celebrated Julius Randle, Pinson said, "If this man’s not an All-Star, there’s a problem."
Pinson may have simplified it, but Randle had just completed his own latest and strongest version of the argument, pouring in 44 points to lead the Knicks to a third straight victory.
