Summary

We are super psyched to welcome in JJ's former teammate and current member of The Boston Celtics. In this interview, KP opens up about a lot of things so be sure to tune in. We'll get right into it!

Topics include: JJ breaks down the play of Tyrese Haliburton in the NBA In-Season Tournament. Then we welcome in Kristaps Porzingis to talk about the card games he and JJ used to play on The Dallas Mavericks. Then KP talks about his growth with The Washington Wizards and his improved defense, why he's excited to be a part of this Boston Celtics team and why he feels things didn't work out with Luka Doncic and The Dallas Mavericks. He then recounts the Mavs / Clippers series in which Rick Carlisle told him to stand in the corner and how these moments helped with his growth and maturity as a professional athlete. He then talks about growing up in Latvia and getting drafted by The New York Knicks and knowing that he would get hate on draft night. He obviously talks about Tingus Pingus too. He then gets into the rocky leadership during his time and why he regrets asking for a trade. And finally KP talks about playing with guys like Al Horford, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Let's go!
