Kristaps Porzingis Was Confused by Kevin Durant's Nickname for Him
/ fallontonight
Kristaps is a great Interviewer he barely interrupted his guest Jimmy Fallon
He looked shy.
Maye, but the problem is that Jimmy Fallon didn´t let him talk, what a terrible interview
ruh this guy talks english better than some natives
Kwijiboz It is his 1st interview on American tv. Jimmy seemed nervous 4 him.
ua-cam.com/video/1PwETX15R9o/v-deo.html
Jimmy:Ur the face of the New York Knicks
Kristaps: laughs knowing he’s gonna request a trade
Jake Miller lol
I visioned the same damn thing as soon as he saod that lmao
Jake Miller but he didn’t request a trade
Lxcture Wavrain yes
He didn't request a trade, he just got traded.
Jimmy: You're the face of the New York Knicks
Porzingis: *laughs in trade request*
underrated
*laugs in being garbage on the mavs*
BigDave dude’s averaging 19 9 and 1 lmao stop capping
@@bigdave9188 butthurt lmao
Lol
He is a very likeable person. Between him and luka mavs fans have a lot to look forward to rn
yessirr
tingus pingus
I hope ur right
How bout now
Saying “Win that championship buddy..” with a dead smile to a Knicks player is officially Jimmy’s best joke of all time.
Tolga ÇEMBERCİ why are you knick fans so toxic
This aged well!
Who's here after Porzingis became a Maverick
Me 😂 #GOMAVS
It was destined for him to join the Mavs

Luka + Porzingis!
Who here after Mavs trade

Meeee
Me daddy
His English is really good
Owais Kahloon Because they teach english in Europe
He has no accent
FallenGamer 627 yes he does lmao
Ik very impressed
Most of 13 year old in Europe can already speak English.
The mavericks logo is basically a unicorn
Dallas Unicorns
It’s a Maverick...
Adrian Lol ye
@@adriandeleon163 what the hell is a maverick
Adrian De León it is not a maverick...
Wow it's so cool to see someone who is Latvian doing great things. My grandpa came here from Latvia as a little boy and I've had to pleasure of visiting there once
OMG Porzingod is finally on a talk show! 🦄
Edwin Campos dingus PiNgUs!
More like godzingis
Jimmy did a great job interviewing himself.
maybe. but that picture surely wasn't an impromptu bit.
Uncle Tony WTF kristaps isnt from america so hes english isnt perfect, so he cant awnser all of the questions DUMBAss
Comment here are retarded.
It's the first time that I have seen so many Latvian comments :D
that's it.. LUL

Very humble, very talented, he deserves everything good happening to him, great player
Proud of you Kristap! greetings from Latvia♥
Porzingis gettin the attention he deserves! So proud of the guy!
GuessWhoNot them shoes was fire
It's great to see kristaps being so successful now. It's such a piss off how Knicks fans booed him on draft night and now they're kissing his ass.
I hate the Knicks franchise but I'm a huge KP fan. I also have high expectations for ntilikina. I bet once he starts to succeeded all those people who boo'd him will change their minds too
Josh New Yorkers are New Yorkers bro😂 they’ll act one way today and another tomorrow
LegendaryZero2 you don't see Brooklyn booing their draft picks; that's right they don't have any
Josh To be fair, New Yorkers wanted change. And nobody knew he either of these international guys were. All they know is Phil passed on highly touted prospects.
Korey Paul ok but international players often turn out great. Look at Yao Ming, dirk nowitzki, Hakeem olajuwan, tony Parker, Dominique Wilkins, etc. you should at least have given them a chance. Besides I'm not sure about kristaps but frank was on the radar and was predicted to be the 11th pick so it's not like it was some nobody.
And next year luka doncic will probably be a top 3 pick and he's international
Never disrespect the drafting of ny
Ahh, so cool!!! So proud of this dude right here! Greetings from Latvia!!! :)
Jimmy: you are the face of the New York knicks!
Kristaps: **laughs in texan**
That chair is not big enough for him. Lol
100Grand4eva that’s what i was looking at lol
Lolz
Lithuania loves you porzingis
Victorious Highlights, you mean Latvia
What do you mean Keith Castillejos, I know that he is from Latvia, I am saying Lithuania loves Porzingis because latvia is our brother country, we are neighbours, even the language is similar :)
Some words are very similar but we can't understand each other
Keith Castillejos dumbass
Rosie O'Donald that might be true as long time ago I understood what two Latvians were talking about behind me lol
Jeez, let him talk. Half the interview is just Jimmy talking.
SD_ the other half is porzingis talking
Just shows there were no other guests available so they pick a knick, ranger, yankee or whatever.
Also when a host is talking (working) most of the time shows they don't know very much about the person or subject. Because they don't know how to react to some things that person might say.
All Jimmy knows is: Latvia, tall guy, Knicks, Melo gone, unicorn. Things people allready know.
SD_ you can’t tell Kris is shy? He’s giving short answers
to be fair... Porzingis isn't giving him much to work with
Well remember he's not an actor or some entertainer. I think KP handled this pretty good for his first big talk show ever.
Kristap, mēs ar tevi lepojamies! :)
Kristap we are proud of you!

He looks like a James Bond villain 😂

The Russian from the punisher... maybe not the best comparison
Remember doing this interview. Thanks for the Opportunity Jimmy!
Porzingis looks in pain Everytime Jimmy reminds him that he plays for the Knicks....😂😂
Prateek Sarkar yeah he's leaving
I'm finished 😱😭😂💀
Arthur Chichester he comming to Houston
Prateek Sarkar He'll be in LA soon enough.
Cant blame him, their shitty fanbase booed him on draft day because they didn't want him
Leģenda!

For a guy who lived his life in Latvia and Spain, he speaks great and fluent english...
HulkVahkiin English is taught as a second language and is used commonly in Latvia and spain
School can't teach shit. Kids in Latvia grow up watching Fallon, Conan and Kimmel on UA-cam these days, so many speak fluent English
arzus4 you're not gonna learn English like that bruh, its the second if not the hardest language to learn. Also the majority of European schools are actually quite good, so the notion that the "can't teach shit" is illfounded and inaccurate
arzus4 not saying you can't learn some very basic greetings and phrases from watching tv, but you don't become as good at English as someone like kristaps without formal education or intensive study
English is a pretty simple language to learn (the basics at least) since it has comparably primitive grammar compared to German and a lot of European languages (no grammatical cases, almost no use of genders etc.). Yes, practically everybody here in Latvia has English as the first foreign language at school and it's been that way since early 90s but it wasn't until internet/youtube came along that kids here actually started speaking it fluently. Me included. Never picked up anything at school except messing my mind around a few grammar problems. Picked up most of my English from computer games (Civilization etc.), tv series and talking on the net. So do most who speak it well
Mūsu lepnums! 🤗 🇱🇻
Stephtastic! You forgot the #NoHomo tag.

Our Pride indeed
He's 7'3" (221 cm) btw.
Thanos The Farmer thats a nice height
@@jakewalker7393 Too much i.m.o
I am from Sevilla, Spain. I meet Kristaps there after a game and I felt very short standing in front of him (I´m 6 feet 2 inches tall)... this was a very strange feeling for me because in south Spain most people are a way shorter than me !!
By the way he´s a very nice guy who speaks spanisch very very well !!
Latvija lepojās! 🇱🇻❤️
Latvia’s proud!🇱🇻❤️

If I did not know better, I would think that Fallon did not what KP really is (or at least thinks that after KP first 2 years in NBA many still do not know). Half interview was about how tall he is (even get confused when KP already said that he is 7'3). Why no questions about team chemistry, playing in the national team or hobbies outside basketball, what he likes about NY/Latvia?
Jimmy Fallon isn't really a interviewer in terms of how he runs his talk show. Conan O'Brien fits that mold better, if KP did something like "Outside the Lines" or a more sports-themed show, it would be more in depth. Also, it's clear that this was a filler guest a.k.a Fallon needed a guest he could spend a short amount of time with. Also, Jimmy works off his guests and if you watch KP after Knicks games, he doesn't give long answers to questions.
jegersLV Jēgers I think there would've been more got out of him in say radio interview, Jimmy Fallon couldn't have been a worser fit for him, but I think Porzingis is a little shy, this interview kind of just sat there
ua-cam.com/video/1PwETX15R9o/v-deo.html
This not ESPN man
Surely I'm not the only one who wanted to see him stand up??
Kristaps immediately became my favorite player on draft night when he said it's up to him to work hard, turn the boos to cheers and prove worthy of his number 4 (I think it was) pick. Yeah, that was freaking amazing to hear. It actually sent chills down my spine. And to see what he's turned into, from that humble, determined kid, to the present egotistical brat that he is - is difficult. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm GLAD to Knicks jettisoned his ass.
Christopher Smith f u
How is he egotistical?
Porzingis is Icona, LEGEND
Latvia, ALL OF NY thanks you all for sending us the savior of the NY Knicks KP the Unicorn lizard!!!😂👍
clash man
You’re welcome!
There’s more where this came from, drafters don‘t see...
Lūdzu. That's "you're welcome" in latvian😁

He doesn't need a ladder, the ladder would need him
“Win that championship buddy” Bruh it’s the knicks😂😂😂
“I just think that’s pretty rad” lmao shove it jimmy

Um sorry to inform you all. But he got traded today to the mavs.
So yea
Latvia! represent! my family moved to Massachusetts from there in the 50's.
Love this guy
Keep calm like Kristaps Porzingis
He was prepared before social distancing with his brothers
Watching this after realizing the unicorn is now a maverick...
Who's here after KP is in Boston now? :)
I am from greece but i have huge respect for this guy ❤️❤️😁
I’m guessing 9/10 people commenting are from Latvia here lol
Nah I'm from America and I love this jigga
OFFICIAL ROMEO You're correct
Spain
I am
Weel yes
"You are the face of the Knicks"
Wonder how that turned out
Wow #1 tendencēs Latvijā 👍🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Seem very down to earth and intelligent, hope the Knicks make it to the Playoffs
Porzingis and rich chigga are the two celebrities that I am very impressed with their English and their accents like both of them could pass pretty well as someone who lived in the us their entire life
The new King of New York
I was sooo shocked, cuz actually im from Latvia too.
Simon Said it’s in europe

Ok now that's a serious human mount Everest !!
big ups to kristaps one of my favorite players. prolly number 5 out of my top 5 so dope
I’m a heat fan and I love Kristaps so much. So genuine
Omg he is so tall 7' 3" and he is 22 years old!!!
What's age got to with it? It's not like people keep growing till they are 50
When I was watching my country win the European championship in basketball this year, I was afraid of this guy when we faced Latvia lol. Unbeliavable player, and a really nice guy. Hopefully Luka Doncic joins him in New York next year! 🤔
“Win that championship buddy” you can sense the desperation of every New Yorker come out when he said that and then kristapz left. Fast forward to 2019 at least we have RJ Barrett...
Savior Kicks an inconsistent version of Zion lol
Was hoping for Durant’s nickname for Kristaps wasn’t Tingus Pingus
Kristaps you're an amazing player!!! I enjoy watching you play. Keep up the great work!!! 💪🏀👍☺
Immigrants: come to America

Woooorrrdddd😂😂😂 they be hating us foreigners
Matt tendo it’s unfair we taking their jobs and shit I guess man hahaha
Matt tendo yeah one said go back to your country and stop wiping your ass with you hands
🤦White immigrants have always been welcomed with open arms. Its the Blacks, Mexicans, and all Muslims who are not welcomed as much.
The ignorance is getting pretty loud in this echo chamber
Love the Unicorn! MFFL!
He showed the same exact picture during his Spike Lee interview. Use some new material, Jimmy.
Consistent Inconsistency new to me
That photograph of Jimmy shown during the ending - that same picture and same exact story was used during Spike Lee's interview.
ua-cam.com/video/1PwETX15R9o/v-deo.html
Look at Tingis Pingis man, so inspirational bro
"They're so good, they're so talented".. looking at Jimmy's face cracks me up everytime haha
He is no Johnny Carson. Carson brought out the best of the guest and stayed out of the way. Jimmy is about Jimmy. I like Jimmy, but if he does that why have guests?
Exactly Carsons a legend
Hold on.. What you just watched was a great slight of hand trick. What do you do when there's not much to bring out of a dry guess? The crowd still wants a good show. He plugged the missing spots.
He is a horrendeous interviewer, that's it
adaption27 He does this almost every time. Carson set the bar. Fallon is pretty much the bottom of the barrel at interviewing. He's got great talent, but should learn how to interview.
Who else is here in the end of the 2020 nba season
Uhhh nobody.. it’s not over yet😂
I love how New York he's become! Perfect fit!
love this dude, will do great things in the league
Kristas Porzingis is from my country!!!😁😁
“I must break you”
5 Minute interview with KP? C'mon man...
Marcelo Munhoz da Rocha and less than a minute of answering from Kristaps. Let the man speak, Jimmy. We barely know him as it is.
Cheetos Ortiz I know right
4 and a half to be more precise not to mention Fallon spoke in nearly half of it
Marcelo Munhoz da Rocha With 4 minutes being Fallon talking, 30 seconds intro and outro and then Porziņģis talking for 4 seconds.
ua-cam.com/video/1PwETX15R9o/v-deo.html
I really love kristap. 7'3 plays like a guard. Indeed a unicorn.
3:04 look at the pure flattering
KP and Luka will be an insane duo for years to come.
" you're the face of the New York Knicks "
Legend
Terrible that he got hurt....37in Vertical at 7’3 was crazy. Wish him the best.
"Go get that championship buddy"
Staps was probably like f u lol
Who’s here after he got traded?
