It’s a common occurrence, I think, to tell someone about a movie you just saw that you personally believe to be very good. You tell them that you thought the acting was great, the story was emotionally resonant, and that you just had an overall great time watching it. Suddenly, your friend, who has been very eager to speak since hearing the film’s title, chimes in saying “if you think that was good, the book is ten times better!”

Why The Knicks and Frank Ntilikina Parting Ways is Good for Everyone

Frank Ntilikina is officially a free agent. You either read that with a smile or you just got infuriated at the Knicks’ front office. We all know that this move was inevitable, Leon Rose and the Knicks have been trying their very best to free up cap space to sign free agents and Ntilikina carried a $18.5 million cap hold for the Knicks.
