I was kicked out of one of the finest prep schools in the South and once banned from entering Marion county in Florida. There was a time I ate a gallon of premium ice cream (and paid the price). In junior high i told the bully two years older than me he'd still be a punk if he punched me which he promptly did in the face. I gave a dollar to a bum once who told me it wasn't enough and I told him to stick it. I can wiggle one ear at a time, even alternate them.
I really liked Frank and will pull for him wherever he goes, but remain a Knicks fan.

was the ear wiggling the reason behind school-expulsion, county-banning, and face punching? that shit is just weird so...you probably deserved it. 
Franks minutes, distribution, and age match up exactly with Jimmy Butler's rookie season. The next season Butler got regular minutes the next season before starting the final 12. Frank Lost the starting PG spot to Elfrid the second year in a row. He showed flashes of being a complete player; crisp passes, pesky defense, a reliable 3, and a willingness to drive for dunks.
Frankistans remember his first exhibition game trying to run a successful pick and roll with Enes Kanter and steady words of encouragement from wizened vet Ramon Sessions. 4 years later, he still needs to work on his PnR game. Lax handle, horrific 2 pt shooting and poor decisions at worst make Frank running the offense dicey. Frank hanging in the corner to shoot 3s let's the defense rest their PG and avoid foul trouble.
If Frank could tighten his handle, get a reliable floater, and just learn the pass and reads out of a pick and roll then....
As is? He was at times infuriatingly passive on offense, refusing to run off Taj Gibson picks. In FIBA, maybe less pick and rolls so it fits his game better.

Maybe we can start a fact checking thread...
Frank is great for FIBA, just not the NBA.
Kevin Knox is a bust.
Lin had a great run here for one month or so. End of story.
We got Melo for a sack full of shit bit players and some really nice draft picks.
Trading Ewing accomplished nothing other than saving Jimmie Dolan a few shekels and getting rid of Chris Dudley.
Bernard King was not here long enough.
The Nets still haven't won shit in the NBA.
I've been to Toronto and the British Virgin Islands. Took my wife of 37 years with me, even though she preferred to go by herself.
I've paid the college tuition for kids I'm not related to.
I spent over two years and thousands of dollars on vet bills/diabetes meds for our pet husky. Who died anyway.
I always pay the bill for any armed forces people in front of me in line or immediately behind me.
I voted for Alan Keyes.
I let Melo posts go unchallenged.
Kevin Knox is a year from being a bust.
Frank looked footloose and fancy free vs. Spain. He is somewhere between Gleague and NBA. That's the high end international game.
Everything we know or pretend will be solved soon. Frank will sign with Orlando and we'll "good riddance" him.
Melo will find his patch kid and inflate the Banana Boat and chase a ring.
Eventually we'll have a Melo video night and honor him as he was.
At some point we'll retire Lin's number just to piss off Jrodmc.
He should be a Net. Got the MDA thing, Nash, Jack Tsai, need a back up.........Just makes sense.
I want the Knicks to eliminate the Nets. Its much better when its done on the court and not media.
I am still hoping that Frank resigns with the Knicks and be in the rotation.

I deserved much worse than I have received. Of course it was all long ago. Other than I can still do the ear thing on demand -- little kids do think it's cool!

The problem is that you can name hundreds that one can say matched up with JB's early numbers. Why? Because they were not very good. JB was a RARE example of a turnaround story in the NBA. Saying Frank can do what JB did is like saying every other mediocre player in the NBA can do the same.
Fact is, with ONE second round pick the Knicks got a player that is twice the player that Frank and Knox have been. Why not try to do the same and move on from the fandom dream that is Frank? Especially when you consider the dream will cost $7M and Cap hold of $18M?
