Frank Ntilikina is coming off the best performance of his career. Timely buckets in the fourth quarter and his suffocating full-court pressure looked large in France’s historic win over Team USA.
The New York Knicks point guard outplayed Kemba Walker. Yes, Ntilikina got the better of an All-NBA point guard in a do-or-die game in the FIBA World Cup.
It was a hell of a moment for the 21-year-old, but the tournament doesn’t stop there. The French will now look to their semifinal opponent—Argentina. No player has been as important for the Argentines as Facundo Campazzo.
