February 24 was going to be a special night at Madison Square Garden for New York’s Latvians. The Knicks would celebrate their “Unicorn,” Kristaps Porzingis. He might be injured, but he is a big, big deal in Latvia. So Prieku0101!!
Then, the 7’3” star was traded. He had had enough of the Knicks and the Knicks were desperate to dump him before he became an issue. You know like publicly revealing the names of the four places he’d prefer to play, starting with Brooklyn, according to both the New York Times and RealGM.
The Gremlins over at the Garden moved quickly to erase the memory of Porzingis.
