Kristaps Porzingis is at it again with his putback slam dunks.

The New York Knicks traveled north of the boarder Tuesday night to take on the Toronto Raptors in an Eastern Conference matchup. Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis, who has made putback dunks a staple in his game thus far, made another highlight play in this game and is taking the NBA by storm with his crazy dunks.

After Carmelo Anthony missed a three-point shot, Porzingis ran aggressively towards the basket, used his length, and slammed home a monster putback dunk over three Raptor defenders.

Porzingis is making putback dunks look too easy right now. Opposing teams might want to start boxing out the 7′ 3” power forward from Latvia. So far, he is proving that he’s much more than just a perimeter shooter and is starting to open eyes throughout the league.

‘Putback’ might be Porzingis’ middle name as this is his third putback dunk of the season, and its only November. Porzingis might be lacking muscle on his body, but he is using his length to his advantage and his dunking over anyone who is in his way.

Somewhere Knicks president Phil Jackson is smiling. He took a lot of heat in the summer for drafting Porzingis, but the early returns are good.
