New York Knicks: Kristaps Porzingis Chooses His Number

Superstitions, pre-game rituals, carefully plotted out game-day meals—in the NBA, it’s all relevant. Some players value such commodities more than others, which makes guessing who cares most an impossibly tedious activity.

Whether they abide by those laws or not, it’s always a good thing when a player is comfortable in their own skin.

To some extent, that’ll be the case for New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis in 2015-16. After some measure of deliberation, the Latvian star has selected his jersey number.

As announced via the official Knicks Twitter account, Porzingis will wear No. 6.

It's official.
