He’s Mister 100 percent!
Basketball national player Isaiah Hartenstein (24) is one of only ten NBA professionals who were on the plate in every main round game. In 82 games, the New York Knicks star averaged almost 20 minutes, made five points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
Which: Mikal Bridges (26) from the Brooklyn Nets is the only professional with 83 appearances. Reason: He switched from Phoenix to the Nets in February – at that time both teams had played different numbers of games.
In the play-offs, Hartenstein can continue to expand his series. With the Knicks he meets Cleveland in the first round starting Sunday.

Hartenstein, son of ex-Bundesliga professional and coach Florian (45), has been playing in the NBA since 2018. After stints in Houston, Denver, Cleveland and with the LA Clippers, he has been under contract with the Knicks since the current season.
whimsical: Early in his career, the league counted Hartenstein as an American. The 2.13-meter Schlaks, who was born in Eugene, is now considered a German.
