Kristaps Porzingis might be a tricky name to say if you’re not a New York Knicks fan. Or maybe if you don’t follow basketball at all. But it’s not that complicated to say, and it certainly isn’t the hardest name to spell in the NBA.
In fact, Porzingis isn’t even the most hard-to-pronounce big in the Eastern Conference. That honor goes, of course, to Mr. “Letter Bro” himself, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
But having a difficult last name can be a problem, especially if you want to get your mail. On Wednesday, Porzingis shared on Twitter a bit of a mailing issue he is having where his name seems to be causing all the problems.

“Can’t get a package from Spain because of this.,” Porzingis wrote on Wednesday. “Almost.”
The problem here is that Kristap’s name is completely botched. Someone attempting to send him the package spelled it “Kripapas Przings,” which isn’t even phonetically near what they were going for. In fact, it sounds like something someone would say if they were intentionally trying to say his name wrong.
Also, I’m not sure if he removed his street address for privacy’s sake or if that, too, is completely missing from the address. That seems even more important here.
Either way, I don’t think Porzingis is expecting to get his package anytime soon. But at least he had a sense of humor about the delay.
