Let’s watch Kristaps Porzingis play basketball with kids half his size, on a rim as tall as he is

The Knicks forward was just a bit taller than his opponents on Saturday.

Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis held his inaugural basketball camp on Saturday, which meant he got in several runs with people much, much smaller than he is.

At 7'3", Porzingis towered over some small children and used Michael Jordan’s patented ball fake to toy with them all afternoon long. He mixed in some dunks and some nice assists.

This clip, from the New York Daily News’ Stefan Bondy, was particularly funny to watch. The rim was lowered down to around seven or eight feet, which made the game extremely easy for Porzingis.

He also played against some eight-year-olds and threw down a dunk.

Only a few more weeks until Porzingis can face people a bit closer to his own size.
