According to Ian Begley of ESPN, in a Shifman Mattress Company event, Kristaps Porzingis said he was motivated when Phil Jackson compared him to Shawn Bradley.
“I guess that’s what Phil does, gets guys to work hard and [get fired] up. That fired me up. ‘I’m like, I’m not Shawn Bradley, you know,’”
“I want to be better than Shawn Bradley, obviously, and be stronger than him, but I’m a different player,”
Porzingis is already working hard to shred the Shawn Bradley image.
