Shake Milton on his first day as a Knick: “Everybody’s gotta do whatever it takes.”

A few days after we first heard some whispers linking the New York Knicks to former Detroit Pistons bought-out guard Shake Milton...

Milton, however, debuted in front of the microphones of the reporters attending the game played Tuesday inside Madison Square Garden and briefly addressed the media before tip-off time.
