Young Knicks fan who cried over Porzingis pick in 2015 not amused by Kevin Knox
Remember the young soul who was beside himself when when his beloved Knicks drafted Kristaps Porzingis fourth overall in 2015?
Well, he’s back, and still displeased.
To a chorus of boos, the Kicks drafted Kevin Knox with the ninth pick of the 2018 NBA draft. The kid was still visibly unhappy, but the last three years have apparently done wonders for his emotional maturity.

Better yet, time has healed any old wounds – the fan agreed to be (presumably) planted on national television wearing Porzingis jersey. But anyone following the saga would know that the young man caved just months after Porzingis was drafted:

But if history repeats itself, the reaction bodes well for Kevin Knox’s career.
"They booed Porzingis and look where he's at now … They can chant 'Michael Porter' all they want, they got Kevin Knox"

Crying kid or not, Knox isn’t worried.
