So moments after scoring 29 points Tuesday in the best game of his young career, the 20-year-old forward dutifully fetched towels for his veteran NY Knicks teammates.

It sure looks like he’ll be celebrating often.
Still, whatever you do Knicks fans, just don’t call Porzingis, the “Zinger”. Plus, considering the fact that so many fans seemed to think he’d be a bust, it’s a welcome surprise to see that isn’t the case.
Nowitzki was named to 12 all-NBA teams, won most valuable player honors for his performance during the 2006-07 season and again in the Finals when the Mavericks won the championship in 2011.
“It’s just one game”.
According to business reporter Darren Rovell of ESPN on Thursday, the league has officially sold out of Porzingis Knicks jerseys and will have a new stock in by Friday. “I’m staying focused, doing what the coach asks me to do”. Melo is doing this every game.
“He’s good, especially for his size”, said Charlotte’s Kemba Walker, a former UConn star. To me that’s a sign of a really good basketball player, when you can be effective and impactful in the game without trying to make it happen. He’s the team’s leading rebounder, with slam dunks on offensive rebounds against Portland and Milwaukee on his highlight reel. Whether or not he’ll be able to do this nightly we don’t know at this point, but because of the combination of skills and abilities, at a few point it’s going to all come together.
There’s a very familiar path to stardom in NY City. Now nearly 5 months removed from the draft, Knicks fans are eating their words and the world is watching, as a previously considered nobody, is now helping to revive a once floundering Knicks organization.

The towel boy is now a main man, but that will change fast if he doesn’t keep producing. 500 (6-6) and a few have them in the playoffs playing as a 7th or 8th against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is of course, assuming that the Cavaliers are the #1 seed in the East like I have projected them to be.
