They've been blasted twice by 20+ to the heat. Tells me all I need to know.

He's alright, and played better than anticipated, but lets be real. He's avg 13 and 9. I think the reason he gets so much attn i: 1. He's in NY 2. He creates highlights.SportsAndLady;1766783 wrote:Is Porzingis THAT good? Front page of ESPN has an article about how the Knicks are basically on the cusp of being very good again, and the article is basically about Porzingis being the second coming.
I've only watched them play once, and he was pretty good, but I didn't see super star in him.
Is this typical ESPN media hype trying to make the Knicks relevant again or is he that good?
I'd still take him over Griffin or Harden tho.

Shaq has said it was the fans in the periphery that made him lose focus.

He has all the tools, and is only 20. That's the big thing. Looks better than a lot of guys who have become superstars looked at his age coming to America.

I've watched a few games. He's definitely a lot more confident than I thought he'd be coming into the league. He's rail thin and from Europe, I expected him to get pushed around immediately, but he plays tough.Laley23;1766868 wrote:He has all the tools, and is only 20. That's the big thing.

Not sure, really? Dario couldn't even crack the rotation to ever get a read on him.Ironman92;1766871 wrote:I haven't seen him.....you are making me think of Darko. How is he different?
Kristaps os is very good. Not projecting him as a HoFer like ESPN, but j have no issues projecting him as a future AS.

From what I've seen, I think KP can be an anchor of a franchise that wins 48+ games every year. Seems to have the right mindset and he has a little bit of nasty in him that you dont always see in the euros. Fundamentally really good and as his body fills out and he continues to improve..watch out.

He's already a plus defender. And he's proven he can shoot in Europe. Once his J starts dropping consistently he's gonna be tough.

Coming back to Harden, following the all star break last season, Harden has been shooting a FG% of below 40%. Just lolsleeper;1766816 wrote:I'd take a camel over Griffin or Harden.

Vines showing him exerting zero effort on defense have now become a daily thing.

Okafor skipping the safe route of asking for a trade and just going the more harmful route of acting like an idiot until they have to do something.HighRoller74;1766960 wrote:Is the NBA gonna suspend Okafor after a this new video/fight?

I also lol'd at someone in the background saying, Okafor was one of the best players in the NBA.

My favorite part is him attempting to use a fake ID, like no one would fucking know the 7' one and done player from Duke.

$10 says he gets voted into the all-star game anyway. He's branded his name and that's all you need to the ASG.Commander of Awesome;1766934 wrote:Coming back to Harden, following the all star break last season, Harden has been shooting a FG% of below 40%. Just lol

For example, I bet Kobe gets an ASG appearance this year despite being arguably the worst player in the NBA.
