Frank Ntilikina in the Clutch! SHOCK at FIBAWC as France Beat USA | Highlights and Analysis

Wow.
In the biggest game of his career, Frank Ntilikina showed up big time. Clutch plays in the 4th, shutting down Kemba completely all game long and coming up big for France as they completed a historic win over the USA in the FIBA World Cup Quarter Finals!

[@cptheartist]

This gets me a little teary eyed...he has been beaten up by impatient fans and media. I am happy seeing they gave him the game ball at the end.

[@stillwillkill730]

Me too. I really want him to make Stephen a smith look like a fool.

[@efrainlopez3782]

Frank had a few possessions in the 1st half that typically would've benched him in the past. But the French coach trust in him and it really paid off. Great game

[@mairoom6976]

thats the thing with the Knicks organization, When it comes to Frank he's not allowed to make mistakes or he'll be benched. thats not an enviorment for growth, and development.

[@elonlove343]

Yupp. The Knicks would of benched him the entire game if he has a bad start. France believes in him. Put him in down 7 and he shined late.

[@47buddz97]

Mai Room once again here I am pointing out you as a clown. He was referring to the French National head coach pulling frank after a couple errors because the French HC would sit frank in the exhibition stages & early games of the tournament after a couple errors. Looks like you’re the one that lacks foresight

[@NS-ez7ov]

The work frank put in this summer is on full display, he is far from a complete player but frank is on the right path.

[@NYKTerryTray]

Def we are seeing progress. Hope the Knicks are patient.

[@rossjn9885]

N S Frank playing this way in such a pressured competitive setting gives me confidence he’ll carry it over into the regular season.

[@erivertogonsalez4824]

So you saying this about him because he beat 🇺🇸 but just look the difference between new York and 🇫🇷 players I bet if he had a good team in new York he would be a supper star now with the big names out there but not he does not have that type of team in NEW YORK, SO THATS THE DIFFRENCE.

[@erivertogonsalez4824]

@@NS-ez7ov I tottaly understand what you are saying but it does not metter what trainners you have is the team players that he is surrounded with so if you have a bad team you ganna be good but not ganna be a playoff team but he is doing a better job and he is proving it that he has what it takea to be a supper star.

it wont matter, once Frank's buried on the Knicks roster, this coming season. Best case scenario if u like Frank, you'd hope Pops was licking his chops on the sideline against France, and The Spurs makes a trade for Frank these coming weeks.

[@simonstrueux3504]

@@mairoom6976 from France man, what I think is that a lot of good player do not find a place in NBA look a De Colo, he can't have a team with Spurs roster (when they have one of the greatest team) but he now put likely 20 points in Europe, 20 in this World Cup, and 20 against a all NBA team, with big 3 points shot, very good drive, lot of experience I'm pretty sure he prefers to be double MVP and superstar in Europe that have to fight to win this in NBA Frank obviously better than Nando at same age but he is in one of the worst team for managment ! i'm pretty sure that he is like a Boris Diaw before he becomes MIP, he needs a team to be himself ! it's also the same thing for a lot of player in NBA, no matter from where they come, but for sure when you're not american who have to work more !

[@Barak144]

Frank was actually the FIBA MVP last time he played FIBA so I wouldn't say the biggest game of his career but probably the most important as far as his NBA career goes and his presence on the Knicks for him to show up against NBA talent especially in the clutch. That buys him time and a chance to prove his worth. He more then deseves his fair shot to start for the Knicks in his natural position.

[@NYKTerryTray]

That was the U-18 Euros. While that was the biggest game to that point (he was 17) this is certainly a much bigger game vs a much better opponent. This was the most important and relevant basketball he's ever played.

The fact he smother NY native Kemba Walker and out played Donovan Mitchell down the stretch is big. Both have relevant meaning w/ Frank. Kemba almost replaced him and some fans wanted to draft Donovan instead of Frank. Frank said "hold my Gatorade":

[@carnivalistapp]

Always been a Frank stan. Knicks need to give this kid the keys to the PG position and let him grow instead of always bringing in new guys that stay for 1-Year and leave. At least this performance guarantees his team option for next season. Super happy for the kid..

[@christophergrandison]

This season the Knicks' problem will be the rotation. This is the growth you expect to see in Frank's third year, but will he get court time to display and develop even more? Granted, I think the competition at the point guard spot got him focused, but will Fizdale believe in him? If not, best believe, with performances like this, teams will inquire about trade possibilities.

Cisco Alejandro Frank is still far too hesitant offensively and fails to consistently recognize opportunities to catch the defense out of position and attack it. He also still gets too focused on the pass when driving into the paint and even when bringing the ball up the court he hasn’t figured out how to use his size and athleticism to impose his will on the game.

[@CISCOTEE56]

@@rossjn9885 that will come with time and playing more with his teammates will get him more comfortable on the offensive side of the game, I'm not saying he's a star player but he can become a really good role player if given the chance.

As French, I can only said YES, Fournier look like a litle Kobe Bryant ! his moves, his work attitude, what he wants, what he does in order to win and to be better let me think to "Kobe of the poor" like we said in France. And with he's capacity to work like nobody, maybe at only 26 he shows here that he can be a huge franchise player BTW, a good USA team but lack one guy against Gobert yesterday when he was on fire, it's sad from Europe to see that we have Antetokoumpo, Doncic, Jokic, Gobert etc. who all want to play for their country and like 20 players that didn't come for US. As for every player we have NBA season, Olympic game next year... we can have some player who want to not come (like it happen sometimes with Parker for us) but see that, what, it's no respect for world basket FIBA ! obviously thank you to USA player to honored their country, team and world basketball but world basketball is getting bigger as we can see european/euroligue stars and some NBA players (5 in France, 8 with those who play at least one year in NBA) beat a all NBA team with all star

he held kemba walker to 10 points and ZERO assists.. frank is 21 years old and is just now starting to hit his 3 pointers and drive to the basket.. so you saying there is no chance that at age 24-25 Frank will become a good point guard? well not with the knicks.. bum ass organization.. yea trade him to a competent organization..
