From an outsider’s perspective, what makes Kristaps Porzingis so intriguing is his combination of size, skill, and athleticism. The New York Knicks star has an uncanny ability to create off the bounce, block shots without leaving his feet, and knock down 3-point field goals in an effortless manner.
What’s endeared Porzingis to Knicks fans, however, is his infectious desire to take on the most difficult of challenges and create new limits.
In an ideal world, that’s something that every human being and NBA player does on a daily basis. In a realistic world, however, Porzingis is one of the rare exceptions to the rule in an era where an emphasis on efficiency has bred a pursuit of the easiest route possible.
