Kristaps Porzingis is the NBA’s new king of swag

As each day passes, Kristaps Porzingis strengthens his claim on being the swaggiest dude in the whole NBA.

Porzingis’ legend only increased on Tuesday night against the Hornets, first by blocking the bejeezus out of Cody Zeller not once, not twice, but three times in a row:

Porzingis drew the ire of former King of NBA Bigs Dwight Howard, who started getting physical with the Unicorn in an attempt to get into his head late in the game. That eventually led to a couple of foul calls against Howard, and Porzingis gave a little indication that Superman wouldn’t be his kryptonite on this night:

As with every Knicks game lately, there was almost a Porzingis overload of highlights. He made four 3-pointers, including a go-ahead dagger with just under two minutes left in the game. He slammed home an alley-oop from Jarrett Jack that would have been impossible for a mere mortal. He even brought back the patented Porzingis Putback™, slamming home a Tim Hardaway Jr. miss out of nowhere.

Furthermore, Porzingis earned what seems like his 27th consecutive walk-off interview with Knicks sideline reporter Rebecca Haarlow, and gave a performance that could reasonably compete with the James Harden side-eye for one of the best ends to an interview in recent memory:

KP’s exploits on the court and playful demeanor have endeared him to New Yorkers time and time again, and with good reason. Hope is on the menu for the Knicks these days, and apparently to some residents of the Big Apple, they’re ready for a Unicorn in city hall:

So, to sum it all up: Porzingis can’t be stopped on offense or defense, he trash talks (and winks) like a champ on the court, he gives stellar postgame interviews and the biggest city in the United States wants to elect him as mayor. Ladies and gents, your new King of Swag in the NBA is Kristaps Porzingis. Bow before him.
