Kristaps Porzingis is the best he’s ever been

- Kristaps Porzingis has been everything the Boston Celtics hoped for and more this season - a dominant mismatch attacker out of the post, elite floor spacer and standout rim protector. Yet as the NBA hosts its all-star weekend, Porzingis is noticeably absent - which shouldn't be the case.

Kristaps would deserve a ring with Celtics. I really like how he found his game.
KP rocks. And I’m not just saying that because I’m Latvian. But it helps.
Love it bro
KP´s development (His maturity/Being more Humble) these last couple of years have been great to see. He deserved to be an All Star this year, but if he continues this play, im certain he will be one next year
Those last couple of years teams let him play and he feels more free. Such a great talent.
Especially if the Celtics win a title.
@@dreamlifter2701you mean WHEN the Celtics win the title
@@JaGra-tm2mw fingers crossed!
Can't even see him not being humble and stuff. When was that?
I love seeing big men shoot mid range shots, its therapeutic
Great breakdown. He is the perfect fit for the celtics. Im just happy he isn't standing in a corner having to watch luka dribble the ball for 20 seconds before making an awkward pass to someone 😅 in boston he is utilized properly and it shows
That part
Excellent work. He is the Celtics 2nd best player
most consistent player too
Nah, that's Derrick White.
3rd best player
@@josephrafferty6763that's crackhead talk lol
Tatum, brown, porzingus, AND HOLLIDAY are better than white lol
@@adamdus139Tatum is their most consistent player by far
Tatum wins more consistently than any player in the NBA you 🤡
All good, im not even upset about. My guy can get some much needed rest. Need KP for the second half of the season and playoffs☘️💪🏿💯
Facts 💯
That too. But this allstar game was... Shame to watch. Glad he didn't get voted in.
KP is having a great season, but am glad he’s got some extra days off to rest the ankle.
I love the play at the beginning of the year that Poole turned his back to the basket, dribbled behind his back, walked out to the 3pt line, turned around to shoot it and got stuffed by KP
I could really feel the ire in carson by the end... I understand, unbelievable that randle is an all-star over KP
Barnes and Banchero are even less deserving than Randle. Only Randle grades out better than average in WS/48. None of those three are above average in Defensive Rating and Offensive Rating differential. That NEVER happens with all-stars.
Was saying it for a while and knew while he was in Washington that the Celtics need him as the final piece to the puzzle. Not saying he’s KG but he brings a very similar dimension to this team that KG brought to the 2008 team. Fit is absolutely seamless. The exact piece the Celtics needed to diversify their offense and continue to have great defense.
he doesnt care about all star,he is just resting for that 18 banner!
2nd best player on the Celtics
I agree atp Jaylen has to get his shit together u can make a case Jaylen is a 4th behind white
@@angelem5209you don't make all star teams averaging 17 pts and 4 assists per game you 🤡
Nevermind white gets wide open shots and driving lanes BECAUSE of guys like jaylen brown
Wish they would of traded Brown. We could of had Kevin Durant instead 😭😭
@@stephyfra1243 he’s way older tho
@@stephyfra1243nah. I’d rather brown than Durant at this point. KD is fragile and he’s old. Give me the guy 7 years younger.
He is easily a top 10 player in the East.
Top 3
As a Celtics fan who knew from the moment we traded for KP it was a home run (many in Boston didn't love it) I appreciate this video.
He has been the Celtics second most valuable player this season, and it's not particularly close.
KP is just a very rare breed got me bro.❤
The one and the ono Unicorn..
He deserves to be at that all star game more than half the players there but as a Celtics fan I’m glad he’s not. The rest is more important for us. He’s like 7’3”. Rest is very important for that man.
I think Kristaps is focusing on an NBA title.. if they do that everything else will take care of itself.
This was a great video. Celtics gotta prove a point this post szn....
If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy this season & consistent 2024 playoffs Boston big chance get #18 banner 💪💪💪
great analysis!
Thank you so much for making the clips relatable for what you’re talking about. It is a lot of extra work but makes the quality of the video much higher
Mavs fan. Still a Porzingis fan
KP fan. Heck no I'm not Mavs fan anymore.
If the Celtics win the championship this season it'll be because of the addition of Porzingis.
Great Video
brilliant video
easily their 2nd best player. underrated. he might have been the best pickup in the off season. if healthy he's going to be a problem in the playoffs for teams. tbh I hope the celtics move on from brown, kinda over that experience.
Brown is their second best player
Why would the Celtics "move on" from brown you 🤡 lol
White is their 2nd best player. He's damn near their best player. Go look at the advanced metrics. White is absolutely unbelievable. KP definitely was definitely the best addition any team made last offseason though.
@JaGra-tm2mw I mean, if they don't win it all this year, there's a real argument for it. He duplicates a lot of what Tatum already does, but is worse at it.
That is one of the few real flaws of the team. Look at Denver. One of the reasons they're so damn good is that their starting lineup is 5 guys with distinct, valuable skill sets that complement each other instead of duplicating each other.
If they can get a good haul for him, which they probably can, they'd have to consider it.
@@JaGra-tm2mwthe Jaylen disrespect is crazy. He’s our best athlete and his speed and first step is ridiculous. Nobody else gets to the rim in transition as fast as he does
Definitely was my snub him & sabonis
Hey guys great video! What’s the V in the corner of the screen on the thumbnail means? Are you part of the Volume ?
Absolutely great work here Sir. I appreciate the work you put in to make a video like this. You got my sub. Oh Yea I hit that like button!
Nice video 👍🏼👍🏼
He just cant stay healthy 😢
It blew my mind when I remembered Porzingis and Jokic entered the league the same year
celtics is only team that unlocked KP potential. Hes crazy good player, but it takes great team and coach to use it right way. Celtics did it
If al horford is an all-star, KP deserves a few
Well. You cant put 4 all stars from one team...
Oh wait they did that for freaking Hawks but not by these superior Celtics.
He does play that KG role now that I think about it.
Jaylen got selection based on “2nd best player Label “ even though he doesn’t have top 3 impact on team
KP Best,I hope hi will get Ring 💍 this year 🤞 🔥🔥 ☄️🌪️🦄 18th banner for Celtic 🎉
Next year the league should make a statement by selecting the All Defensive teams as All-star teams and we can watch an actual basketball game.
The Celtics championship run rly relies on porzingis. If he is healthy all of the playoffs they’re going all the way, if he gets injured they’re second round exits at best. Cause we have seen how awful this team has played on the offensive side of things when he has not played
Wtf r u talking about porzingus sits out almost every back to back and the Celtics still dominate you 🤡
The Celtics went to game 7 of the conference finals and probably would have gone to the finals had Tatum not injured his ankle on the first play of game 7
They have the same team with addition of jrue even without porzingus
Add to that an improved Tatum, brown and derrick white and their FLOOR is the conference finals even without porzingus
WITH porzingus they cake walk to a championship
@@JaGra-tm2mw the nights porzingis sat out against dominant teams they got obliterated bro
@@nickstah9184 ya that's absolutely false lol
First of all there's only two games they've lost by a lot the entire season... The clippers and the bucks and porzingus played in both you 🤡
@@nickstah9184 Stop talking, you look foolish. Without KP they are 12-3, including beating Philly twice, Clippers by 37 on the road, and the T'wolves, and are averaging over 120pts a game. Wow, how awful 🤣 There was only one blowout loss and that was the Clippers revenge game when the C's couldn't hit the ocean from a boat, and the only time they scored less than 112 pts. They've been making it to at least the ECF for years without KP, he's there to take them over the top.
You know how KP should do? Help the team win banner 18 and the all star talk won’t matter
At all categories he is able to compete.. in skill he won..
I think in 3point shootout he snub too..
I understand you giving KP his flowers and as a Celtics fan he’s 100% a great addition. But to call a player who shoots 50% from the field ( Jaylen Brown) efficiency mediocre is absurd. And he’s definitely not the 2nd best player.
Dallas traded the PERFECT pairing with Luka away. It's like selling a stock right before it goes up a lot.
This was totally my snub how did you know
Best 3rd option in the entire league! The Jaylen hate in the comment section will not be tolerated. Y’all obviously don’t know ball.
Hes been amazing this year but hes missed 15 out of 55 games. Health has been the biggest tiebreaker.
If the celtics dont win it this year then thats probably a wrap. They are LOADED. So no excuses
Biggest Allstar snub this year. Total disregard of his elite performance on a winning team including the fan votes revealed. Frankly he is now a victim of Allstar snubbing two years in the row. A head scratcher indeed!
Player of the week and only Celtic to have 100 3pt shots ans 100 blocks in a season.
Winning championship needs team effort, while winning MVP relies too much out of control.
The selection process of all-star team, and even MVP is pretty subjective, no wonder JT made it clear: wining championship is more imporatnt than winning MVP.
🗣️🔊
I'm interacting I'm interacting
I said it once and I'll say it again. KP is as a nice juicy cherry on a cake- with out the cake it self (players surrounding him) there is no point for that cherry.
K.P. is the best celtic on the floor this year and he should be the number 1 option so the others can feed off of him cause if they try to play the same game like they did last year it will be another failure for the celtics and both brown and tatum should be traded
Is KP really this good? The Knicks and the Mavericks hated him
I guess late is better than never, but it sure has taken people a long time to arrive at this. Randle, Barnes and Banchero are not all-star caliber players. Porzingis didn't deserve his first all-star appearance either. So, I guess things even out.
Brown does not have mediocre efficiency
Lmao yeah fuckinn right. Did we forgot about NY
when he smoked them this season?
@@Sergio-bg1zu not what I’m referring to monkey.
@@Sergio-bg1zu when he played for the Knicks he was the best he ever was or ever will be.
Just win the chip, prove them wrong! Prove dallas wrong for trading him
Guess who cares about the all star game not the players
DOMANTAS SABONIS simple as that
Easily the 2nd best player on the team right now...can't trust brown to not dribble the ball off his foot in crunch time right now..disgusting he was not on All Star team
Brother he never even plays back to backs he’s a part time player doesn’t deserve it that’s why no one voted for him for Trae young he was second place for van voting
Fan** voting
Scottie Barnes deserved it more though
Nah hes not lol did u see him with the knicks??? He was like Batman and Superman combined.. but he def makes the Celtics more scary.. cause without holiday and KP then aint no one scared of the Celtics.. Tatum and brown are soft.. porzingis is very injury prone tho and frail
Id Love to See No Celtic in a All Star Game for simple facts. Getting rest and staying healthy. There is No meaning behind playing in an all star Game.
Not a magic fan but I gave watched a few games they not better without Pablo. Just another case of numbers being misleading. Also KP not better than brown his skill set it just more needed on a team with so many guys who can dribble pass and shoot. As a Celtic fan kp is a breath of fresh air for use at center when compared to rob Williams, but he's still a 7 footer who can't average more than 10 RBS.
He's one of the best when healthy. That was his problem in Dallas, he was never healthy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he finally decided to stop thinking he's a number one option when he's in fact, a REALLY good 2nd or 3rd option.
He’s not an all star for all the same reasons as Aaron Gordon. All Star value/role contribution player, but ultimately he’s a third offensive option and a great defender.
Dudes just playing the system, his contract is gonna be up and how else do you get paid? By playing like a can?
cant wait for when this is wemby. going to go to so many spurs games now. just need pop to retire so we can hire Doc....
KP's been great, but he's taken a bit too much time off.
KP has been the best player on the team this year. As good at Tatum is it's usually the other players who bail out the team throughout the last few years. It will be interesting to see if Tatum's ego gets to him and he demands the ball more in the playoffs. If that happens they won't go as far as they can with KP being the one who leads them down the stretch. They really seem to be over using him lately so I wouldn't be shocked if he gets injured. I've seen him near exhaustion in some of the games and that's just horrible coaching. Oh yeah, their coach has to go. He lives is wonderland or something. It's like he's not in touch with reality.
You don’t know basketball very well then because Tatum still gets double teamed way more often
I think ur the one who's lost touch with reality lol
The Celtics entire system revolves around Tatum getting doubled with the ball and creating space for everyone with his off ball gravity
Tatum is also one of the best defensive players in the NBA
You have to be smoking some real good shit to think porzingus is better than a top 5 player u 🤡
So what is porzingus like the 3rd best player in the NBA since he's better than Tatum lol
@@respectthagoat2k433 watch more than 4 games before you comment.
Nope
ok ... shit must be said ... remove this PHYSICALITY ..... and other shitality coments in this video. THEN TUR OFF SOUND ... and watch this video without any voice ... and then do the ame video type about any other centre nba player without sound too ... . then -league .... they all the same ... is porzingis bad? no.... hes good but not all starr simply slightly better average ... i dont wake up for watching his game .. never ..... and most people wont do that tooo ... thats why he is non all stall ... and these words outstanding .. most ,,, better ... size ... passes .... defence are irelevant. stop that shit on youtube and "propoganda" .
Just because he’s the best he’s ever been doesn’t mean he’s an all star snub. Everyone else just caught up and got better
Wonder why he was so bad in Dallas
WTF are you talking about? What abour Sabonis? He can be considered the biggest snub in history. KP is great... but his stats are far away from Sabonis. Sabonis is leading the entire NBA across multiple important stat categories.
Celtics fans: "omg jalen should have won the dunk contest and KP should be an all star" 😂😂😂😂
You have it wrong. Every C's fan I know has said Jaylen didn't do well in the dunk contest, and WHITE should be an all star. Not KP. But keep making up scenarios lol
@xMaGuSx888 no need to make anything up. Yall think you're the beat team every year and haven't won bunk. Just as stupid is trying to get Tatum in the mvp conversation 🤣🤣 so yes I've seen some brain dead bill simmons homer takes surrounding the dunk contest. Just accept your fanbase is corny and move on lol
