Kristaps Porzingis has an alter ego—a covert side of himself he seldom breaks out publicly and is more likely to display on…Kevin Seraphin’s Snapchat.
True story.
Feast your eyes on these clips, brought to us courtesy of For The Win’s Alysha Tsuji:

This first video is a little gory-sounding. Porzingis is smiling and speaking with an inviting tone, yet he’s making references to murder, blood and beating someone “like a gazelle.” Though he’s saying all this with a controller in his hand, it’s entirely unclear whether he’s talking about a video game or describing what will happen to New York Knicks president Phil Jackson if he hires Kurt Rambis as the team’s permanent head coach. I’ll let you decide.
Here’s the second clip:

If only we could all display the aplomb that Porzingis carries with him both on and off the court. He is “kicking ass” and knows it. And that’s just him describing his video-game acumen (I think)! Imagine the insane sense of self he must espouse on the basketball court, when he’s stretching defenses beyond function and giving us a glimpse into what Dirk Nowitzki would look like with DeAndre Jordan’s explosion and shot-blocking chops, all while adding some hope to what would otherwise be a hapless future for the Knicks.
Naturally, there’s only one thing left for us to do: bow down to Kristaps, the Rookie of the Year candidate, the face of New York’s tomorrow and the king of Snapchat swag.
