Perhaps the most surprising thing that has happened during the first part of the NBA season is the emergence of the New York Knicks into one of the most fun teams in the league. With a rejuvenated Carmelo Anthony, the quirky Robin Lopez and Kristaps “Future Hall of Famer” Porzingis, the Knicks are night in and night out worth a few minutes of your time.
On Tuesday night things stayed fun thanks to a few different happenings. It started with Robin Lopez, who had a very eventful first 12 minutes. It started with a low post move that honestly, I didn’t know he could make.

That right there is some tricky stuff.
Then, Lopez played for a bit of time with no shoe which was lost during play. When a member of the sideline staff tried to give it back to him during a dead ball, Amir Johnson had other thoughts.

Of course, nothing related to Knicks fun would be complete without some Kristaps. Or should I say Kristephs.

So yeah, as it turns out the Knicks being third in the inaugural Friendly Bounce Power Rankings may be in fact too low.
