According to New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale, his team has a Fortnite problem. Yes, the popular video game that arrived in 2017.

The New York Knicks are 11-47. Obviously, that means the 2018-19 roster is flawed and likely to change once July 1 arrives. It’s not just one issue, either, but according to head coach David Fizdale, his team has a specific problem: Fortnite.

Wait, what?

Fizdale told The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov in December, “Fortnite, that’s my competitor right now. “Fortnite is undefeated.” Fortnite is a battle royale shooter-survival game that made waves with its release in 2017, carrying in the two years since.

The game remains a “competitor” to the Knicks, however, as Vorkunov followed up with another piece on the beloved video game. Fizdale knows it’s impacting his players’ communication and learning as they prefer to stare at technology’s blue light:

“Some guys, I do,” he said. “You don’t know who it is at home doing it, but I think this generation, they are an online generation. Whether it’s communicating late in the night with people. Whether it’s reading stuff, watching stuff, playing video games at the end of the night. It’s still a bunch of blue light in their eyes keeping them up all night. I do get concerned with how much rest they get. How it affects reaction time and irritability, things like that. So, yeah. Guys are different. Some guys aren’t really into it like that. Then there’s other guys.”

That’s very much a problem in the year 2019. Something like this would be almost unheard of in previous NBA generations, but when technology was not as involved and seemingly addicting, as shown with these Knicks. There wasn’t Fortnite when Patrick Ewing led the Knicks in the ’90s or when Carmelo Anthony played for parts of six seasons.

The Knicks have a young team, however, which may play into this. Kevin Knox (19), Mitchell Robinson (20), Frank Ntilikina (20), Dennis Smith Jr. (21), Allonzo Trier (22) and Emmanuel Mudiay (22) make up nearly half this roster. They’re part of basketball’s new age of talent — millennials as commonly called.

Fizdale, at 44 years old, is not one of them. His generation dates back to when the computer first became popular. Heck, he was an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks when the Apple iPod Touch first arrived in the mid-2000s.

Times have changed, with technology’s evolution. It will continue to change, too, causing more problems for coaches — not just Fizdale — to handle as the years go by.

The New York Knicks have bigger fish to fry, though, with on-court struggles that place them among the NBA’s worst teams. Whether it’s shooting or defense, this team has weaknesses to handle. If that includes Fortnite, good luck, Fizdale.
