After being chosen by the New York Knicks with the ninth pick of Thursday night’s NBA Draft, Kevin Knox enjoyed a Face Time video call with Kristaps Porzingis. Of course, the two had something in common: the Knicks took Porzingis with the fourth pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.
“He asked, ‘How did the fans react?’” Knox said at an introductory news conference Friday. “I said, ‘I got the same boos you got.’
“He said, ‘Just work, and sooner or later they’ll be cheering for you.’”
Watching the live stream of the news conference, it was easy to hear reporters laugh.
