@@DavidReyes-qn1bq WTF, over the past 5 years he literally only has had one serious injury. After that, during Dallas, also had one non-injury related surgery to improve the level of his knee at the end of the bubble (which now shows the benefits), that required a slower season start, and then some tiny load-management level issues where he could have played if the management wanted . What injuries are you talking about?
If I'm not wrong, Latvia, along with it's Baltic neighbors are basketball countries, so it was probably the Latvian diaspora in the UK. Much like how it was the Filipino diaspora in New Zealand that made it feel as if it was our homecourt there.
As long as Luka is there, Kristaps has nothing to do there. Just like you can't have two LeBron James on the same team. It is an axiom that has been proven many times - two superstars cannot play together in the same team. Because superstar status is determined not only by basketball skills, but also by character traits. A superstar always wants to be the leader.
@@karusao25 Depends on the superstars. I don't recall Kobe and Shaq having that problem. Both of them "more" superstars(with massive egos) than Luka and KP will probably ever be. I mean they had/developed issues, but that didn't stop them from dominating the league 3 years in a row. Nor do i recall Celtics (with their Big-3) having problems. Nor Heat(or wasn't D. Wade a superstar?). Nor the Dubs with KD.
@@drobiIIka I know, exactly my point! I mentioned they had their issues (some serious ones at that)? Did it affect their success? Absolutely not! Could they have even more success? Of course, if they didn't have those issues. Nevertheless, they won 3 straight chips and are considered a top-5 duo (if not top-3) ever!
@@jay_kulina heat had 3 "superstar" capable players, it's that much like Bosh (a top 50 player ever by his stats and accomplishments) some stars accept a role that'll complete the team. KP wasn't the right fit in Dallas.
Glad to see him getting back to his pre-injury form. If he stays this way he is a top10, maybe even top 5 NBA player. I would love to see him next to Giannis, their game is realy complementary. Porzingis could easily play drop D like Lopez and he is a way better shooter than him. He would fit like a glove on the Bucks' roster
When his shots aren't falling he can't find wayS to affect the game. He'll keep chucking long 3s, posting up just to shoot fadeaways, etc. His tunnel vision means that he would never create for others. Even Davis Bertans is a better passer than KP. He'd give you 30+ a night every 10 games, and when he starts getting hot for a 3-5 game streak of 20+ points he'll break down in the next couple of games and sit out the rest of the season. He's talented and exciting but wouldn't help you win consistently... Us Mavs fans watched it all
Luka Doncic Giannis Jokic Lebron Curry Durant Embid Leonard Tatum Irwing Booker Davis Morant Zion Trae. You want to say Tingus Pingus is better than 10 of the above guys?
@@FlegmaPro Bruh, such a primadona Doncic fan... Already can tell you are a casual. You picked Zion, AD, Tatum, Booker and Kyrie over KP, Harden, Barnes, Brown, LaMelo? K, then, maybe start watching the games instead of typing out of your ass?
Hahaha, you have a feeling that Latvia plays this game at home in Riga, half of them are Latvians and they played the game in such a small arena. What is interesting, even now in 2022 when basketball becomes more and more global and many countries show interest to popularize Basketball, on the other hand, UK people don't have any interest in basketball even when their national team playing, what a strange country!
Team GB had 2 fouls which weren't fixated on the board in the 4th quarter. The board should have had 4 yellow stripes, It stayed on two for the whole quarter. You cannot possibly tell me that FIBA is not rigged when spotting things like this.
Where’s all the Doncic fake tough guy cry babies now? Wait til a rejuvenated Beal and Rejuvenated PorZingis click and make it work. Doncic expects to win with Christian wood when he just should have been less of a cry baby and supported Porzingis a bit more.
These were World Cup qualification games. Lv didnt qualify for Euro Cup, teams like GB, Netherlands,Bulgaria did. Due to FIBA rules good teams could not get best players to Eurocup qualification...
KP is 7,3 feet. He's size and way he is playing made him suffer some injuries. However with age he's play will be more standart to the center position, more safe.
@@drewainge1059 name at least one player who was 7.3 that had a successful career with no injuries? With his size it’s hard to avoid them you should know that, for example look at Chet Holmgren, my man played like 2,3games and is already out for a year. I still think Kp has played a lot of games for his size and will continue to play more. And it’s been a while since he was injured, he finished the season strong with Wizards. And when he was in Dallas he nearly played the same amount of games as Doncic did.
Porziņģis is a monster he is playing like an Allstar. So happy to see him ballin out keep it going
When heathy
Bro played like an allstar last season....

He looks like he's got his legs back; really moving well. Haven't seen that quickness in about 3-4 years.
Dude is literally a 7’3 GUARD with those moves!!!!
what a talented player .. 7'3 can do this moves and driblling ability. damnnnn ..
The return of PorzinGod
KP the beast does everything on the court.
Tas braliukas nerealus 👍
Great job Kristaps, greetings from Greece
Thanks to the kind people of UK for letting our fans make the players feel like on a home court!
lol what happened there
@@zahirbatin2346 Basketball is not really followed in the UK
They dont care about basketball lol

@@jameschristophercirujano6650 Latvia is a ice hockey country, Lithuania is a the basketball one
He saved the game
What a great game for GB.
It was indeed.
Exciting game!...Not surprised at all to see KP perform at an elite level. He is a unique talent for a man who stands at 7.3. The Unicorn indeed!
porzingod is an allstar. nxt szn 23-10 avg
Latvian fans are amazing! You'd think that Latvia is playing in home arena.
KP🦄
He’s back💪
100% and more
Watchout by the world and nba soon ..porzingis👍
He only needs to be healthy
Nice to see Porzingis healthy 🔥
Damn KP. "I am ready to get hurt again" by picking him to my fantasy nba squad.
CLUTCH
Who's the commentator? Really good pronounciation of the Latvian surnames (such a rare thing) and shows that he knows the players very well too
The Unicorn at it again
love love love
Two former Mavs will be allstars in 22-23 season. JB and KP!
Wrong JB never ever gonna be all-star, for Porzings is problem knees...
@@nelAjamZ I’ll be back here come Allstar weekend
Wizards will have more All Stars than the Mavs next season, 😂
Mark Cuban: Any chance we can get him back again??????

he will make noise in Wizards this year,

@@Merky- :D
I remember before his ACL injury he looked like a beast like Ivan in Rocky. Hopefully he can stay healthy and reach his potential
For haters and Mavericks organization who sell Porzings... Porzings is more complete player than Jokić...
IDK about today, but in the Knicks era Porzingis made Jokic look like an amateur
allstar if healthy 💯💯
Actually KP was a one of Latvias drivers in this game. Key player for win!
his post up move looks legit now
all these international players playing in this comp and representing their country is so special to me. Love to see it
Tiny nations going crazy this summer!

Hope the mavs watch kp games!!! They trad3 him for that jeje!!
we really needed him in world cup
i hope his healthy till qualifications.
he's always been good player but the problem was him staying healthy
*HE WOULD BE A GREAT FIT IN DALLAS SPECIALLY IF PAIRED WITH LUKA DONCIC THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE*
Unfortunatelly not anymore.
What?
fortunately not anymore
Nothing but a net 👌😁

No....he been doing this.
Why isn't OG playing for Britain?
Porzingis looks like a successful aryan soldier experiment
Is the Unicorn redemption season coming?
If this is any indication…Possibly.
Beard or no beard, this was a game against Great Britain. We still have to wait for some serious opponent to see whether he can revive his career.
So sad can't see him like this consistently in the NBA.
Where’s all the Doncic fake tough guy cry babies now? Wait til a rejuvenated Beal and Rejuvenated PorZingis click and make it work. Doncic expects to win with Christian wood when he just should have been less of a cry baby and supported Porzingis a bit more.
underrated comment🔥
Add Kuzma to the mix. Washington is gonna be a dark horse next season.
I dont understand. Latvia has not qualified, i know that much becuase i hoped that they would face Slovenia at some point. so wtf are these games ?
These were World Cup qualification games. Lv didnt qualify for Euro Cup, teams like GB, Netherlands,Bulgaria did. Due to FIBA rules good teams could not get best players to Eurocup qualification...
#Beard zingis???🥸
Gimme a break…everyone on GBR is shorter than 6’7”…
If only he isnt made of plaster of paris
He is currently ballin out, and injuries are part of sport my friend
Not true for him. He is a regular injured player ans playing great is just part of his sport. It is the opposite for him.
