You know fans are just going to eat that up. They’re gonna give these Knicks a grit-related nickname. They’re going to put the saying on T-shirts.
It’s not quite the second coming of Linsanity, but there is a buzz building around Knicks basketball this season now that the team has won five of its last six. Fans are looking for every reason possible to get excited about the Knicks. Porzingis keeps providing them.
