Kristaps Porzingis has been a human highlight reel this season, surprising everyone from the native New Yorkers to basketball fans across the country.
But it was a long journey for GODZINGIS to get to this point. On draft night, the man got booed by the folks at the Barclays Center and it seems like the sentiment has completely flipped. His play has gotten people on the bandwagon and the train doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. In this ride along with VICE, Kristaps talks about how the New York media has treated him, what he wants to accomplish with the Knicks and being a fan of Carmelo Anthony growing up. Interestingly, he owned a throwback Nuggets jersey of his and had even had cornrows like him.
Check out that and more in the video above and get to know Porzingis.
