Yes, that is Knicks draft pick Kristaps Porzingis, and yes, he’s rapping the 2005 hit “Ridin'” by Chamillionaire.
“They see me rolling … they hating…” Is he speaking to Knicks fans, some of whom were at Barclays Center on Thursday night to boo his selection.
The 19-year-old from Latvia seems well versed in American culture. He told Complex his favorite rapper is Toronto Raptors impresario Drake and his favorite movie is the Ice Cube comedy classic “Friday.”
But young Kristaps isn’t just a hip-hop head. He can disco, too — and if he worships the 1970s greatest hits, he’ll fit right in with the Knicks.
