One of the first rules in high-level organized sports: Know your personnel. Serge Ibaka and Steven Adams, however, clearly didn’t read the scouting report before facing-off against the New York Knicks on Monday night.
This is Kristaps Porzingis’ best put-back slam yet, right? With every hyper-athletic play the rookie sensation makes, it becomes harder and harder to believe he’s 7’3. And here’s the thing: skills of nature may not even be the 20-year-old’s most impressive attribute. Why? Kevin Durant recently compared Porzingis to a unicorn for his prodigious actual basketball ability.
This kid, needless to say, is absolutely terrifying – and the Oklahoma City Thunder definitely know that now if they didn’t before.
