VIDEO: Knicks' Grant shakes defender, finds O'Quinn for last-second dunk

William Hauser / USA TODAY Sports

In the New York Knicks' first preseason game of the 2015-16 season, first-year point guard Jerian Grant introduced himself to Big Apple hoops fans in a rather flashy manner.

In the final moments of the first quarter during the Knicks' friendly against Paschoalotto/Bauru - a Brazilian club that plays in the FIBA Americas League - Grant waited near half-court, ball bouncing, killing the clock.

With six seconds remaining, he employed a clever behind-the-back dribble, which effectively removed his defender from the equation, then found Kyle O'Quinn - cutting toward the basket along the baseline - with a nifty zip pass.

The flush brought the Knicks to within one point of their opponent at the end of the first stanza.

Knicks fans are pleased. For now.
