Since entering the league, Kristaps Porzingis has been nothing short of a surprise, as plenty of ambiguity clouded him prior to being drafted at 4 overall. Since then, he’s only helped bolster the Knicks’ future and seems to be a franchise fixture going forward. In addition, his bevy of put-back dunks during the early season in the Nike Kobe X Elite allowed for many within the social media-sphere to take his persona to new heights.
Whether you enjoy his game or feel as though he’s lightning in a bottle, Porzingis’ early brilliance and notable footwear has suddenly placed a foreign star in the Big Apple.
