KP or KP6 works.

Durant is just KD to a lot of folks.

As the future face of the knicks.....call him whatever he prefers.

KP

This puts him in good company with KD and KG

how about just sticking with K.P.?

seems very logical to me, I've been referring to him by that since we drafted him.

I did a little search of Latvian culture and came up with:

"Bearslayer"

http://latvianhistory.com/tag/latvian-war-for-freedom/






Its not "Catchy" nor is it easy to type but its Latvian and this kid could be its first international sports hero in this era.

ESPN used Zingis Khan on one of their pregames. I hate to give ESPN credit, but it's catchy.

He'll always be Drago to me.

I'am not sure I understand why people are so urgent to give him a nickname..

I thought those things come naturally..

And I don't know why most people are against "Kris". I like it. I don't get "Its not a nickname, but just a shortening of his name"

Isn't Carmelo`s nickname "Melo"?

Melo and Kris. Sounds like a name of a kids TV-show.

Haha I just asked this in the other thread. Yea the nickname stuff is much ado about nothing. Kris, KP, KP6... all fine. I do like Air Zingis (even though Aer Lingus is Irish, haha)

Come to think of it, did Patrick Ewing have a nickname?

Kristaps is fine with me!
