RJ Barrett chose Kristaps Porzingis as the opponent he would most like to dunk on.

The former Knick didn’t completely dunk on the prized rookie in response, but let him know it won’t be easy.

“He said he wants to dunk on me? That’s fine,” a smiling Porzingis told reporters in Dallas on Thursday. “I’m a shot-blocker. I don’t know what some people are saying. I’m one of the best shot-blockers in the league and I’m always up for the challenge. I think that’s a pretty good goal for him to try to dunk on me.
