Julius Randle Smiling From Ear To Ear At Jaylen Brown After He Missed Two Clutch Free Throws Should Be Framed And Sent To Knicks Fans Everywhere
What a picture. I've long been on the Julius Randle is actually a good player train and now you're just an idiot to argue otherwise. Again, no one claims he's the No. 1 guy on a title team. But he's an All-Star (again) and a damn good player. But this? This is the image that lets me know it's not the same old Knicks. Not the Knicks who are basically eliminated come All-Star weekend. Not the bad luck Knicks. And arguably more importantly, not the dumb Knicks.
Don't get me wrong. Last night's game was very dumb. It never should have went to overtime. But somehow the Knicks won.
But this smile? This is what I love to see. Jaylen Brown biffed two clutch free throws to give the Celtics the lead with 7 seconds to go in OT. I mean they weren't even close. Missed more than Francis on a high five.
And if that smile isn't enough, here are some Julius stats for you:
Why do people want to trade him again? We finally have 2 guys that are on the All-Star talk and can build around. Yeah, sign me up. Also shout out RJ for that 3 from the corner in OT. Shout out Immanuel Quickley for those 17 points. These Knicks are fun as hell. Frustrating at times for sure, but fun as hell.
