The best answer would have been Fisher and Sasha...now that would have turned some heads.

As long as he doesn't give credit to a Supreme Being for his success after every good game he has, I'm not that concerned about his answers.

He seems to be well schooled as far as interviews...it will be interesting to see if any interviewers can get him to say something bulletin board worthy during his career. He's very Jeter-like or David Wright-like in how he fields questions.

You have to understand the mentality.
I grow up in Latvia and was leaving among Latvian nationals 33 years.
They are very calm people and not emotional at all.
It is all slow out there. The nature is calm. All is flat.
The weather is almost same most of the year - 255 days of rain (more drizzle than rain which can go for weeks).
Long nights in the winter and long days in the summer.
Nothing going on socially most of the time.
The education, especially non-technical is stellar.
Arts are blossoming - paintings, poetry, music, crafts are all over.
Violence seems odd and remote.
People are not intruding in each other space physically and mentally. Its considered a bad taste.
What you see from Kristaph looks completely ordinary and normal to me.

I can buy it. Just a polite respectful kid saying respectful things.

He's probably from the school of "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all". His family made sure of that. He probably had similar things to say about his coaches and teammates at Sevilla too.

Don't over analyze media savvy as KP saying Melo is big brother mentor number 1. That's his manager and big brother former bball pro Martin and current bball pro overseas Janis job, not Melo's. He's just kowtowing respectfully while Melo's still on board, before he takes the reins.

Or.......you're the one that's wrong (won't be the 1st time) and he meant every word he's said about Melo.....just sayin.

Of course he's wrong. He is wrong about most facts he provides about Melo (i can give you many examples) but won't admit it. And to say this is some sort of media-driven agenda just sounds so ridiculous it's comical.

So have plenty of other great players.

Fact #2, Melo has zero MVPs, zero ALL NBA FIRST TEAMS, and zero ALL NBA DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAMS

If you are trying to prove to me that he is not one of the best players of all time, than i completely agree with you. I think you are confused about that.

Fact #3, Melo has a losing record as a Knick and hasn't made the postseason in 3 seasons. They have a 7-14 postseason record with Melo wearing a Knicks jersey, and they only won 1 playoff round the 5+ seasons he's been here.

KP credits Melo every chance possible on his development; FACT. That is what this thread is about. Your disagreement on that is proof that you lost this battle a long time ago. Good night.

The reason he picked his jersey number in the first place:

Chuck, no matter how much you try to generalize and downplay it, it won't work. KP says over and over again that Melo is his mentor, is the reason for his development, not anyone else on the team. Not the coaching staff, not Phil, not Jose, it's Melo. He is not just saying it to be polite. It doesn't fit your agenda, but for once just admit you are wrong and this situation does not tailor to your agenda. Melo, for all of his flaws, is well-liked by his teammates and a great mentor to KP, which he reminds us of every time he is interviewed. He is not saying it to prove a point or change anyone's perception, he's saying it because its true. Simple as that.

Really it's his brothers Martins and Janis, no debate there. On the Knicks you can even debate that's it's Sasha over Melo:

“Sasha’s my mentor,” Porzingis said a few days before his NBA debut. “I’m hanging out with Sasha all day.”

Yes, the 31-year-old Vujacic has taken the 20-year-old Porzingis under his wing early on this season. Vujacic has provided Porzingis with advice on life in the NBA to try to ease his transition from a relatively anonymous teenager to one of the most-scrutinized athletes in New York.

“If he sees me like that, it’s a privilege,” Vujacic says, seemingly looking to downplay his mentorship of the rookie. “I had the opportunity to learn from a couple of great vets when I got to the league. I’m more than willing to be there for him -- or for anybody – anytime, so it’s great.”

The Porzingis-Vujacic relationship – like many others between two guys in their 20s and 30s – involves a lot of video game playing. Specifically, Vujacic and Porzingis play the soccer video game FIFA – and it sounds like the battles are intense.

Yes the answer is all of the above. But singling out Melo is not a PR move, he's not doing it for anyone else's benefit or approval, he's doing it because its true. It's time to accept that Melo has been an integral part of his development and move on.

After listening to KP he seems genuine in his endorsement of Melo. After all Melo has to mend fences with KP after the draft day fiasco. Here is to Melo for trying to be a better teammate.

Fact #1 Chuck over 150k posts on a fan forum board, Melo over 150 million in the bank.
Fact #2 Melo future NBA Hall of Famer, Chuck future forum troll hall of famer.
Fact #3 Melo resides in Penthouse, Chuck resides in Mom's basement.
Fact #4 Chuck was hoping to run away with Lin before Melo broke his heart and ran him out of town.
Fact #5 Chuck ruining this fan site by trying to change every thread into a fanatical Melo rant.

We can see why you hate him.

Try to debunk that?
