King of trolling King James knew his comment about the Knicks making a mistake by drafting Frank Ntilikina instead of Dennis Smith Jr was going to make headlines. He even said, "that's going to be some headlines" after saying, "the Knicks passed on a really good one. Dallas got the diamond in the rough. He should be a Knick." He was right about the headlines but wrong about the rookies according to a couple not-so-happy Knicks.

A day after Enes Kanter tweeted “Nope!! We love what we got…Thanks!!!” in response to LeBron's comments, Kanter spoke to the media after a practice about them.

"I don't care who, I just cannot let anyone disrespect my family like that because when I play for an organization, I see my teammates and that organization as like a family," Kanter said. "And I doesn't matter if it's LeBron or whoever it is, I can not just let him disrespect him like that. The coaches, the GMs, the president, this organization knows what they're doing.

"I mean, come on. That's a rookie. You cannot just say anything like that about him.

Confused unicorn Kristaps Porzingis agreed with Kanter about having the "Fresh Prince" on the squad.

"I mean I don't know why he made those comments, but all I can say is we love Frank, we're happy with him," Replied Porzingis, who is averaging an equally shocking 30 points per game this season. "He's doing a great job. He's playing great, and he's doing what he's supposed to. And I would not change Frank for anybody. Simple."

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek thought LeBron's comments could serve as motivation for the rookie.

"There will probably some bit of motivation in there, sure" Said Horny, who I can't talk about without visualizing his fight with Jerry Stackhouse or his face touching while shooting a free-throw. They're both great young players. We have Frank and Frank has done a great job for us, his abilities, the way he's grown from Day One and the things that he's worked on, we expect him to be a great player also."

The Fresh Prince himself was also asked about the comments.

"I think in life people can think whatever they want," Ntilikina said. "However, it's not gonna affect us and me so whatever is said, whatever people think, me and the team are just focused on what we're doing every day to improve and just to make us better."

The Knicks finally got rid of Phil Jackson. That's great news! Now the franchise can return to when the Garden was Eden in the 70s or even the contending Ewing days of the 90s! Right?

The cursed franchise has a big mess of mistakes to clean up before they can even think about glory days. And one of those possible mistakes came just days ago during the NBA Draft, when they passed on Malik Monk and selected fairly unknown french baller Frank Ntilikina with the 8th pick. The reason why the 18-year old was selected was because he supposedly was a "good fit" for the triangle offense. Now that the Zen Master is gone, it makes the selection of Frank sound worse than most people trying to pronounce Ntilikina (FYI, it's pronounced Nee-lee-kee-na).

As soon as I was thinking I might be being too hard on the Knicks and Frank (I'm just calling him Frank from now on), I see a picture of Frank in practice wearing a jersey with his name misspelled.

If that wasn't bad enough, he reportedly had to leave his first practice with a bag of ice on his knee after just five minutes.

"Bumped knee. Sore knee. Nothing crazy but we played a lot of games in France - more than college games - I was just pretty tired and this happened," Frank said.

The injury apparently happened during his last French game -- a title game that took place a day after the draft -- and not in practice. So that means the Knicks passed on Monk to draft an unknown 18-year old who injured himself a day after the draft; Don't the Knicks remember what happened the last time they drafted a French guy?

Don't take the French jokes too seriously because I'm a Tony Parker fan, I own his rap album and have a few pics of his ex-wife, Eva Longoria, on my computer. As for anybody offended by jokes about the Knicks, get over it because you have  much bigger problems to worry about.
