According to Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated, the New York Knicks‘ rookie Kristaps Porzingis has learned a lot and has been inspired by the NBA’s Rookie Transition Program.

The NBA’s Rookie Transition Program was created by the National Basketball Association and the National Basketball Players Association. The two collaborate to create educational and developmental programs for all incoming NBA rookies. The rookies go through six twelve-hour days, teaching them the dos and don’ts of being a professional athlete.
