Admittedly, the last name of New York Knicks first-round pick Frank Ntilikina can be tough to spell without a quick search. But if an organization uses the No. 8 overall pick on someone, one would assume that said organization would do the research to accurately spell the player’s name, right?
If so, one would be wrong.
Ntilikina was pictured at Knicks’ practice and the spelling on his jersey was quite frankly, not even close.
it's spelled n-t-i-l-i-k-i-n-a

Way to make the guy feel special there, Knicks. Then again, we shouldn’t expect much more from an organization that fires its team president after the NBA Draft.
In the future, the person who made this mistake should remember that Google, as well as the copy and paste function, are our friends.
