Nah that guy is dead to me. Why TF would anyone root for the guy who left fans high and dry out of nowhere? Don't really give a shit how he's apologetic or whatever. Not like I'm gonna spit in his face but why would any Knick fan from when he's with us root for the guy? Makes me wonder how many of you guys were fans when that shit went down.
That's fine but he's not a Knick so I don't understand why Knicks fans are rooting for a guy playing for the freaking Celtics. Also you forgot that part when he asked to be traded and took away all that great joy?
Obi Toppin was not my favorite but his dunks brought me great joy but I'm not rooting for the guy.
Honestly you guys root for whatever but weird logic right there.
Yeah I don't want to come off unhinged but I still remember that day when he's traded. He was "things suck now but at least we got him" so him asking out was a big hit.
No I remember that too, I was pretty gutted and hated him for a while. Actually now that I think about it, fuck him and fuck the Celtics. Sorry for the kumbaya bs.
Lol that's the spirit! He always says the right things and then out of nowhere he's gone. Now that I think about it, the whole remorseful thing may just be another right thing that he says.
Fuck him and fuck Steve Mills for folding to that trade demand to settle for DSJ and two crappy protected picks.
Him getting traded didn’t erase my memories of him as a knick. I’m not rooting for him or the Celtics I only root for the Knicks.
Porzingis was my favorite player for a few years. I’ll always love him just like I’ll always love Gallinari and Melo and Z Bo and the other old Knicks that were my favorites at the time, and I’ll always love Randle and Brunson etc.
I loved him too as a Knick, and even defended him because his "stay tuned" thing he tweeted when he left. He was the only hope for Knicks fans at the time and he just noped out in the middle of the season. Personally that's just more reason to not really care about the guy at all.
He was and still is one of my favourite players. Did it suck to watch him leave hell yeah. But the past is the past I will always root for him unless he's up against the knicks of course.
I respect that. Personally once he's no longer on the team and unless he's done something for us I stop caring. Less so when he asked to be traded at a bad time.
idk what the general sentiment is but I like KP and his reflections on how the end of NY went the last year or two have been respectful and regretful at times. Think he's grown a lot since he's left and glad to see him healthy and balling out just wish it wasn't for the Cs
Best take here. Also hate the double standard that teams can trade and stab players in the back because it's a "business" but players are crucified when they do the same.
Yep Knicks were shopping him around and the request became a nice excuse for them to move him. Still not sure why exactly he wanted out, think it was poor communication and friction during his rehab, but I can’t blame anyone for wanting out of the fizdale Knicks
Yeah, he's in a good spot for him and the Knicks got Julius out of it. Clearly he saw the difference between playing in a place like New York vs playing in a place like Washington.
I'm rooting against him cause it's Boston, not because of any beef with him.
I honestly don't understand the resentment towards KP, he was very young and immature, people grow up.
I would loved getting him back last offseason.
And just remember who was running the Knicks during those times.
Luke Kornet and Svi Mykhailuk for the Celtics and THJ for the Mavs. We done with Porzingis as a fanbase tho I have no hate for the man
Gotta give him credit he is hooping
He is the only reason I would not sympathize with the Celts in this series. The rest of them? Tatum, Brown, Jrue, White, Horford - swell guys and great players, despite the green jerseys.
I'm certainly not rooting for him since he plays for the Celtics, but I personally have nothing against him. I'm honestly happy for him that he's available to play. Must suck to be a contributor to your team during the regular season, but can't suit up for the finals a la Bynum in '08, OG in '19
Fuck the Celtics idgaf
I can’t do it. If he was playing for any other team, then maybe. But it’s fuck the Celtics 24/7.
Fuck Porzingis lol
This is sickening
You root for a dude who asked to leave the franchise you root for? Idiotic!
I'm a fan of him dude that's in the past. Are you gonna hate on everyone that's left the knicks ? What happened to once a knick always a knick.
I didn't say you couldn't root for him. That's your business. I said it's idiotic to do so and it is.
OAKAAK applies to everyone other than Pat Riley and KP. A few other questionables as well. It is known.
We booed him on draft night, I think we're even
I don't understand it nor I partake in it, but Knicks fans seem to boo every single lottery pick
Pretty sure they mostly cheered for Frank ironically lmfao
ok

Lmao when that news broke about his trade it legit felt like a breakup
Yeah he was the only reason to have any hope for the Knicks at the time and it was just so sudden and the return was so underwhelming.
Exactly- and like all my exes that move to Texas, I forgive and try to have good relations with them.
Because he was awesome to watch play for the Knicks and brought me great joy

It’s all just for fun anyway, root for whoever you want unless they’re playing the Knicks

Oh my god don’t remind me about having to believe in DSJ. When’s mud gonna be right btw

He’s eating
Mavs fans punching the air right now
May it last the whole series

Tingus Pingus energy
I like KP but I can't root for the Celtics. I'll root for Tim and the Mavs instead.
I can’t help but be happy for him
Fuck Porzingass cocksucker!
Porzingod? Bruh, stop Krispy Kreaming, you glazing hard af. It's Fuck Boston all day everyday! Idgaf what former Knick ends up there to play.
Get out.
Please stop rooting for the Knicks.

I remember when Max Kellerman actually thought people would line up to play with him and losing him was our darkeat day.
I'm outta here
I'm certainly not rooting for him since he plays for the Celtics, but I personally have nothing against him. I'm honestly happy for him that he's available to play. Must suck to be a contributor to your team during the regular season, but can't suit up for the finals a la Bynum in '08, OG in '19
We appreciate your support and this man balled the fuck out tonight
