Kristaps Porzingis is shooting around with a few teammates after Knicks practice last week. He gathers a rebound on the right wing, takes one step back and shoots a fadeaway. Swish.
It looked awfully similar to Dirk Nowitzki's signature fadeaway. Porzingis has been compared to everyone from Toni Kukoc to Kevin Garnett. But the player most mention when talking about the Knicks rookie is Nowitzki.
Porzinigis and Nowitzki will face off for the first time on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. With that in mind, ESPN.com's Tim MacMahon and Ian Begley chatted about the comparisons between Nowitzki and Porzingis recently.
