It’s always the King’s Court, and the rest of us are just trying to live in it. That was the message that LeBron James sent to trending New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis last night on a nasty jam that the rookie wisely refused to challenge.
Porzingis had a solid night by dropping 23 points and grabbing 13 boards, but the best play of his night was making the decision to avoid getting posterized by the best baller on the planet—even if it was at a point in the game where, just one stop, could have affected the final outcome.
You can say he was in the holiday spirit of giving on this one—’cause he just gave away two easy buckets to avoid massive embarrassment.
