The fourth edition of the “ESNY’s Top 10 texts” series features recently traded franchise star and New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis. The first three featured former executive and President of Basketball Operations Phil Jackson, ex-head coach Jeff Hornacek and free-money extraordinaire Joakim Noah.
The Porzingis trade produced a wide range of emotions from all fans on social media, resulting in the five stages of grief being condensed into one, intense 24-hour nervous breakdown.
Some fans that tried to rationalize the decision, others who went into a full panic mode, and most who were ready to express their anger towards an organization that completely took the wind out of their sails.
