Frank Ntilikina is often criticized for playing offense like a timid teenager, but every so often, the modest Monsieur of MSG breaks character and seeks to soar in for a slam, which causes Knicks fans to erupt like Larry Johnson just nailed a four-point play.
That feeling when Ntilikina tries to fly is difficult to describe. It has its own energy. It’s kind of like when you step outside on the first warm day of spring and the world suddenly just seems more pleasant. Or the relief that washes over your entire body when you’ve desperately had to pee for hours and finally make it to the bathroom.
