How Kristaps Porzingis reacted to being name-dropped on the new J. Cole album

Kristaps Porzingis stands at 7-foot-2, and the rapper J. Cole used the Celtics’ center’s height as a metaphor in one of his songs on the recently released album, “Might Delete Later.”

“I just want to kick back, take trips, make big chips stack till they’re tall as Kristaps,” Cole rapped on the song “Huntin’ Wabbitz.” “Me and your squad is mismatched. Your calves ain’t strong enough to follow his path.”

Porzingis said people reached out to tell him about the lyrics Friday morning.

“As soon as I woke up, [there were] a lot of messages and people were like ‘Oh, he shouted you out so it was pretty cool,'” Porzingis said.
