Porziņģis pēc savainojuma cer piedalīties jau nākamajā Knicks spēlē

"Things have changed in NYC. The future of the Knicks has been altered dramatically, in large part because of one person. The arrival and emergence of Kristaps Porzingis has resulted in a monumental directional shift in the present and future of the organization. Knicks executives no longer have to rely on futilely attempting to sell players solely on the virtues of living in New York City and playing in the “World’s Most Famous Arena.” Future free agents will now be enticed to consider the Knicks because they would then be able to play alongside the world’s most famous and uniquely talented 7’3 forward/center. There are plenty of other extraordinary stats that could be used to highlight his early-season success; however, it’s not simply the mind-boggling numbers that stand out when discussing Porzingis. It could be argued that the most amazing aspect of his first three months as an NBA player is the way he’s handled the sudden flood of fame and adulation. Considering he’s a 20-year-old kid from Latvia, it’s almost inconceivable how well he’s dealt with the crush from local and national media alike. Somehow, he carries himself with incredible confidence on the court, yet remains remarkably humble once he steps off the floor. And he’s only getting better, and bigger. Both his game and his frame are still growing. The scary reality is that if Porzingis was playing this well two years from now, when he was just 22 years old, he’d still be considered way ahead of schedule. The phrase “the sky’s the limit” is an overused cliche, but in this case it actually rings true. His upside is not simply All-Star level, it’s All-NBA level. And, tangentially, because of Porzingis, the Knicks’ future is brighter than it’s been in a very, very long time." http://www.basketballinsiders.com/porzingis-alters-knicks-free-agency-focus/
