Frank Ntilikina has had some drives to the basket over the last few games that have shown his growth as a player. But his best move of the season may not have been a basketball one.
The 19-year-old Ntilikina shoved LeBron James during an intense game. James stood in the way of Ntilikina inbounding the ball after a made basket. The rookie, in just his 11th game, let the NBA’s best player, and the rest of the league, know that he wouldn’t be intimidated.
It was a fun night at the Garden. There haven’t been many this season.
