Mitchell Robinson’s broken right pinky has Knicks fans anxious, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into what the injury could mean with the NBA Finals looming. With Robinson expected to play after surgery while wearing a brace, the big question is how much the injury will affect his pain tolerance, rebounding, lob catching, rim protection, and overall confidence.The conversation also turns to Robinson’s brutal free throw struggles and whether this is the moment to try something drastic, including the underhanded “granny shot.” Evan and Tiki debate Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain, Ronnie Lott, and the difference between football and basketball toughness while weighing whether Robinson can remain a true X factor for the Knicks.
