Title: Kristaps Porzingis - That skinny 7'3" white boy on the Knicks is no joke
Post by: Royalty on November 11, 2015, 07:21:48 AM
Porzingis was the Knicks 1st Round Pick. A lot of people in NYC were not thrilled. He is only 20 years old. He is doing good.

He does need to gain some weight. But he is only a rookie.

Basketball is a horribly boring and worthless sport. There is literally a penalty every few seconds. Any physical contact and its a penalty. Not to mention they are all giants and jump 2 inches off the ground to dunk the ball. By far the worst sport to watch.

Basketball is like Jazz (if the jazz was being played by a down syndrome band)

Hes from my country so I started to watch Knicks playing - I must say that NBA games are REAAALY boring and I watch them only because of Porzingis  (as we doesnt have any other NBA player)  >:(.

We had this guy, but now hes gone.

We had a bad experience with another European 1st round draft pick. Once bitten. Twice shy.


********

Frederic Weis

He was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 15th pick in the first round of the 1999 NBA Draft, but he did not sign with them and never played in the NBA. The draft pick angered many Knicks fans because Ron Artest, who had grown up in Queens, New York and played for St. John's University, was still available. Artest was taken with the next pick by the Chicago Bulls. On August 29, 2008, Weis's draft rights were traded from the New York Knicks to the Houston Rockets for power forward Patrick Ewing, Jr.

The only drama that Porzingis has is that he averages 4 fouls per game

I agree, my friend.  Well said.  It's a traveling circus of clowns in baggy shorts.  60s and 70s were when I enjoyed watching and playing but never again.

Last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter is all a person needs to watch to understand basketball. It's the most crooked sport of the big 4 in America. It's more entertainment than it is "sport".

I'm a Sixers fans and instead of watching the games, I've just been watching his individual highlights that are put on YouTube after each game.

He is so skilled offensively. Beautiful post moves and a decent jump shot out to about 18 feet. He reminds me of a more offensively ingenious Tim Duncan. He's not terribly athletic, but I think that since he doesn't have to rely on elite athleticism that he'll have a very long, productive career.

Yeah, he can't defend or rebound, but offensively he reminds me of Duncan. Tim is Okafor's idol and the player he models his game after so it makes sense.

he should have been called for the offensive foul.

using the forearm to smash the man who had position is kinda bad.

but the NBA is so bad at calling fouls and violations.

i cannot watch stephen A.   He's SO over the top obnoxious.  He yells when he talks.  He's not funny.  Terrible insight.  His entire Schick is overreacting to everything in a high pitched voice.

seriously, I watch espn in the background most of the day - EXCEPT I turn on netflix from 10-12 as soon as his annoying voice comes on.   I always watch if they have another host that day.  Colin at 12.

Are you saying the rest of the time play goes back and forth in an essentially meaningless exchange of possession, whereas during the last 5 minutes the prepaid, predetermined spread is achieved?

Porzingis still needs to fill out more (decent gains in the offseason for a BB player) because his body can't take the banging around, even in today's pussy style of 3-point shots and constant foul calls. His elbow is now banged up after having a few excellent all around games. But he has turned out to be an excel pick by Phil Jackson, of all people.

In theory. No one wants to play for Dolan.

Phil Jackson was run out of NY for suggesting they entertain trade offers because guys KP's size are injury prone....

The jokes on the Knicks. They lost Pjax's leadership and KP for Dennis Smith Jr and 2 low level draft picks and the potential to sign big name players who will eventually demand they're traded.

Odds are this cap space will be wasted on overpaid subpar players as usual...
