Before he was turning heads as a member of the New York Knicks, Frank Ntilikina was winning awards in France’s LNB Pro A. A dynamic playmaker and overwhelming on-ball defender, Ntilikina earned NBA hype and an array of accolades during his time as the face of Strasbourg.
On Thursday, Dec. 28, Ntilikina will go back to his roots when the Knicks travel to play the man who has been the face of French basketball for the better part of 20 years: Tony Parker.
New York will travel to play the San Antonio Spurs in a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals.
