Today in weird NBA news that has absolutely nothing to do with free agency, New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis made an appearance in a Latvian commercial, and … well, you’re just going to have to watch for yourself:

And finally … KRISTAPS.

Porzingis gets a solid five seconds of air time. First, as the hand snakes its way onto the screen behind him, we get every single one of his glorious seven feet and two inches:

The hand then climbs up his shirt and strokes his hair in a possibly slightly sexual manner while Kristaps remains stoic and emotionless — though he does seem to be a bit perplexed:
