GREENBURGH, N.Y. — For one full week late this summer, the self-described centerpiece of the Knicks tutored the future of the organization (or so the hope goes) by playing game after game of one-on-one. Each contest between Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis went to 5 points. Each player was permitted only two dribbles per possession.
“Whoever you play against, you want to beat him and prove that you can play,” said Porzingis, who acknowledged winning a handful of the games before he made sure to pay public homage to Anthony.
“Melo is Melo,” Porzingis said.
