Via NY Post:
The symbolism was clear. Porzingis was going to do things outside the lines.
During that second season, Porzingis came up with an excuse to miss the Knicks’ annual charity Bowl-athon — the biggest season-ticket holder event the franchise has.
And after then-coach Jeff Hornacek told him during a practice to show more toughness on defense, Porzingis blurted back, “F–k you.’’ Hornacek was shocked.
Before his rookie season, Porzingis was a happy guest of the U.S. Open, sitting in a President’s Box suite to cheer on Latvian players. The following September, the Porzingis camp asked for tickets again to watch his Latvian compadres. This time, an inordinate amount of free seats were requested. When the USTA couldn’t accommodate all of them, Porzingis cancelled.
By the end of his second season with the Knicks, the spit hit the fan.
Well that would explain why the Knicks and Porzingis went their separate ways. How long before he starts pulling this stuff in Dallas? Or did Dirk Nowitzki set him straight?
