Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis not fan of his 'Zinger' nickname

Don’t call him Zinger.

Kristaps Porzingis couldn’t really pinpoint why, other than a bad first impression, but the rookie sensation is not a fan of one of his more common nicknames.

He prefers “K.P.” but seems open to suggestions.

“I don’t like Zinger too much,” he said, citing the first reference to it from his American coach in Spain, Scott Roth. “He started calling me Zinger and it was just like, yeah. He was a good coach and I liked him but that nickname, at that moment, I didn’t like it that much.”

WHAT SHOULD PORZINGIS' NICKNAME BE?
