Why the cult? Hope. Why the hate? Seemed like for some it was more important to maintain a status of “Im right, look at me!”

Frank is still in the NBA. THe defense is still there to keep him in it for now. His age still young enough to be a prospect.
Nobody is lamenting he is gone. The point I think for some are that he had potential and still might.

Do not think it was hate. Even the ones with doubt wanted to be proven wrong. It was a mix of calling out all the over hype and stubborn stance for all those bunkered around it being a "Phil pick". Most fans have unrealistic expectations of draft picks. Feel it is the worst thing that can happen for a young kid. Reason why we need Obi, IQ, Grimes and Deuce to have ample time to develop. Without the unrealistic cries and pressure for them to replace an established vet.

But unfortunately, the bust Frank wasn't apart of it.

1 minute.
3 points.
0 rebounds.
0 steals.
0 assists.
0 blocks.

Yup. Franky boy is REALLY BALLING out there in Dallas 🤣🤮😅

Damn, I was rooting for Frank. If he doesn't turn it around in Dallas, I'm not sure if he has a long term future in the NBA. I hope I'm wrong. He's a good kid.

Why, would a good kid get a shot over a more talented kid.

Like I always said about him, he has no real desire to get better, much less be the best.

1 minute per game = only 82 minutes during an entire season = only 6.8 games played per year.

You want real per 36 stats?

Frank Ntilikina
12.1 points.
3.7 rebounds.
3.5 assists.
1.7 steals.
0.3 blocks.
FG% of only .371%.
Player Efficiency Rating of only 10.2.

And for a 5th year player and former lottery draft pick? That's pretty disappointing.

Yes, a fifth year player who is what? 23? Disabused for most of those 5 years.

Who are the other 8th picks who are burning up the league in the last ten years? And convince me that watching this year's Knick games is oh so much more compelling than rooting for our French Prince.

Frankie has a future, he's not LeBron but he will find a role and we're lucky enough to still catch his games.

12 minutes total in last 5 games?
Guess Dallas Coach is sabotaging his production.

Too funny.

Only 12 minutes during last 5 games? Sounds like his Dallas HC knows he stinks just as coach Thibs did.

Heck.

I remember watching the Olympics and team France had Frank sitting on the bench and wouldn't even play him 🤣😓😅

16 min against the Rockets tonight.

LOL. If you youself spend a significant amout of time slamming certain posters on this board, does that also make you small and make you feel good about youself while living in that glass house?

Just like Knicks fans booing Patrick Ewing and Julius Randle to make themselves feel good about themselves and/or you calling posters "little men" in order to make yourself feel better about yourself?

It's all too weird to me.

So we're allowed to boo Julius Randle, criticize a 21 year old R.J. Barrett non stop (include him in trade packages), turn on Mitchell Robinson and throw him away for "Myles Turner", crap all over Alec Burks @ PG, mock Obi Toppin for his 3PT%, trash Kemba Walker and laugh at EF's Defense etc etc.

All of that is, ok, right?

But yet certain types of fans then become butthurt and all because we enjoy making fun and having fun with an absolute BUST in Frank Ntilikina?

It's a little weird to me.
