“How long do you think we wait in line for rye bread?”, Kristaps Porzingis asked as he approached the Walmart. Carmelo Anthony stopped walking and looked at his teammate. “You say this is your first time going to a grocery store?” “American grocery store, yes. I have been to many grocery store in Latvia, and…

Kristaps Porzingis 17 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2016)
Had Carmelo Anthony and a bunch of refs not intervened, I’d say we were about five seconds away from seeing Kristaps Porzingis and Kent Bazemore take the gloves off and start throwing haymakers at each other. I am curious, as we all are, what the outcome of that fight would have been. Let’s take a…

A lot has been made of Kristaps Porzingis’ first matchup with Dirk Nowitzki. It’s understandable; after Rik Smits, the most common pre-draft comparison for Kristaps was, in fact, Dirk. Well, maybe he was the third most common comparison after Rik and Chuck Nevitt. Hard to keep track of that sort of stuff. Anyway, yeah, they’re…

If I’m Carmelo Anthony, I’m freaking out right now. In only a month, the Knicks have gone from “Melo’s Team” to “Kristaps Kristaps OMG Porzingod WOW WOW WOW Latvia’s Team”. Put another way, there are still lots and lots of people who remain unhyped about Carmelo. There are no such people when it comes to…

If you couldn’t tell from my recently uploaded October/November dunkilation, I am officially on the Kristaps Porzingis bandwagon. I don’t know how any NBA fan couldn’t be. A hypothetical person who could hypothetically find it within themselves to hypothetically not root for a three-point shooting, putback dunking, beanpole rookie from Latvia would hypothetically be a…

Another good game for Kristaps Porzingis. I don’t even get that excited anymore. At this point, I’d way rather see a legit good performance out of Sasha Vujacic than yet another one out of the Latvian. I’ve developed tolerances like that for a lot of fun-to-watch players. The worrying thing is how quickly I developed…

When was the last time this many lottery-picked bigmen looked so legit during their rookie seasons? The 2012 draft was okay, since it had both AD’s, but it also had Thomas Robison, which cancels that out. After doing a bit of research, I suddenly don’t feel like going back very far in these drafts, seeing…

So what if a few bad (big) apples booed Kristaps Porzingis when he got drafted? They didn’t get Jahlil or Russell or anyone that they had heard of, so they booed. A totally understandable reaction. Who is to say that their opinion holds less or more weight than a more informed fan’s? Besides, what if…

In honor of Kristaps Porzingis scoring an impressive 29 points, I have compiled a list of all known facts about his home country of Latvia. -Is Kristaps Porzingis’ home country. -One of Tallinn, Riga, or Vilnius is the capital city. -Not nearly as messed up as some of those other former Soviet states. -I’m pretty…
