Despite being booed by New York fans when drafted by the Knicks earlier in June, Kristaps Porzingis has quickly become the star attraction at Madison Square Garden.
The Latvian 20-year-old had lit up the NBA in recent weeks as he tries to help re-build the Knicks into Championship contenders. Last night, against the Sacramento Kings, Porzingis scored 13 points as his side lost 99-97.
He is a star in attack and defence, and with blocks like this it is easy to see why the Knicks fans love him.
