But just for fun, I favor The Kristapsening.

that second "s"...

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

A thought just occurred.

Pays homage to one of the great basketball nicknames of all time and is a play on a familiar term.

Air Zingis.

Oooh, that's not bad. Not bad at all. In fact, damn near brilliant.

Either:
The Six Shooter or Air Zingis

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

"Bearslayer"
http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/exhibition-reading-europe/detail.html?id=105181
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.

I dig the lessons on Latvian hero epics and Bond villain nationalities...

But just seems like everyone is trying way too hard to be cute with this. The best nicknames are organic, not manufactured.

Plus his last name is so distinctive! Porzingis is good enough for me.

KP is simple and catchy, and would go well with a chant. He also seems to like it.

Still...

Goldzinger.

He's the man, the man with the shooting touch.
A silken touch.
Such a cold flinger.
Beckons you to block his shot
But then drives in.

Golden shots he will pour in the net,
But his shots can't disguise what you fear,
For an opponent knows when he's kissed the glass,
It's the shot of death from

Mister Goldzinger.
Power forward beware of his shot of gold
His shot is cold blooded.

KP is short and easy and he likes it. I see no reason to look any further. He wants to be like KG in that sense. It works now and as he matures.

NYT today mentioned "Godzingus", not that he resembles a giant lizard, but I bet it would stick.

I'm liking K-Swiss or K-Swish. It's either that or KP or KP6 but K-Swish is catchy.
