What Comes After Kristaps For The Knicks?
What Giannis Antetokounmpo did to the Knicks was cool as hell and involved leaping over an entire man. What Giannis’s torso did to the Knicks, due to purely incidental contact, was as ghastly as that was cool: Kristaps Porzingis landed awkwardly after dunking over him and tore his left ACL....
Paul George Is Everything The Thunder Need Him To Be
