BOSTON — Kristaps Porzingis had an audience in mind while keeping a fresh set of cornrows as a kid in Latvia.
"I loved the look," the Knicks rookie said, "and all the girls loved it."
A video documenting Porzingis' youth basketball in Latvia began making the rounds Wednesday evening thanks to Knicks blog "Posting and Toasting." Perhaps the biggest revelation — one that is now screencapped for the world to see — is that Porzingis used to rock cornrows ala Allen Iverson.
"I wore that for like two years," he explained before Thursday's preseason finale against the Celtics.
