Kristaps Porzingis has been great so far this season, well, except for this play on Wednesday night.
All things considered, Kristaps Porzingis has been everything the New York Knicks and their fans had hoped for and then some. This was a young man that was expected to take years to develop, yet this season he’s already looking like a major player in the NBA ranks.
However, for as good as he has been on the court, not everything can go perfectly. Such was the case on Wednesday night as the Knicks take on the Heat.
Kristaps had a clear lane to the basket at one point, and he was ready to throw down that dunk that they’d show on the highlight reels for the rest of the night.
Well, they will be showing this one on the reels, just not for the reason that he would have liked.
There will be some growing pains, and this was definitely one of them. But, to be fair to Kristaps, this happens to a lot of veterans sometimes these days. You just like up the ball for the dunk wrong or just overshoot on the jump and you end up getting stuffed by the rim.
