Kristaps Porzingis

Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon is ready and willing to work with Kristaps Porzingis if the call comes in. He just doesn’t think the New York Knicks’ superstar needs his tutelage. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Hakeem Olajuwon is now a Rockets adviser who has expressed interest in an ownership stake. So the Nigerian [...]

Ignorance is bliss. That’s Kristaps Porzingis’ story, and he’s sticking to it months later. With the New York Knicks set to face the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, The Big Apple’s superstar is, naturally, being pressed about his run-in with, um, hackers this past May, who tweeted the following from his account: [tweet https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/861011022294925312] Porzingis, [...]

Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks continue to catch people off-guard. Most expected them to be worse than this—much worse. Even though they’re in lockstep with their expected record roughly 15 games into the season, the notion of them hovering about .500 for this long is still disarming. To everyone outside the locker room, [...]

Here’s hoping you didn’t expect the beef between LeBron James and Enes Kanter to subside anytime soon. Because it’s not going to. What started as LeBron taking jabs at Phil Jackson while indirectly marginalizing Frank Ntilikina has since evolved into an on-court scuffle and full-out war of words and Instagram posts and responses to those [...]

Having confidence is a good thing, and it is absolutely essential when attempting to succeed as a professional athlete when you are playing against the very best competition in the world.

Kristaps Porzingis’ brother/agent, Janis, said some stuff about some things pertaining to his bro’s future with the New York Knicks. People ran with it, including us, because duh.

Kristaps Porzingis has been a revelation this season after the Knicks have finally been released from the shackles of the Carmelo Anthony era of Knicks basketball.

Kristaps Porzingis continues to endear himself to New York Knicks fans everywhere. Yes, the points and blocks and big shots matter. He’s averaging 30 points on career-best shooting percentages. He profiles as the NBA’s stingiest rim protector, according to NBA.com. He frustrated the hell out of Dwight Howard during the Knicks’ Tuesday night victory over [...]

Kristaps Porzingis will be extension-eligible this July, at which time, if he’s healthy and they’re smart, the New York Knicks will try to lock him up for the next four or five years. And yet, if his brother and agent, Janis, is to be believed, the 7’1″ skyscraper may not jump at the chance to [...]

Tanking makes so much sense for the New York Knicks, even after their recent three-game winning streak. They own their own draft pick. They have kiddies, including rookie Frank Ntilikina, they can play. They aren’t trying to win, necessarily, even though they are trying. Just imagine going into next season with a core of Ntilkina, [...]
