But just for fun, I favor The Kristapsening.

that second "s"...

A thought just occurred.

Pays homage to one of the great basketball nicknames of all time and is a play on a familiar term.

Air Zingis.

Oooh, that's not bad. Not bad at all. In fact, damn near brilliant.

Either:
The Six Shooter or Air Zingis

I did a little search of Latvian culture and came up with:

"Bearslayer"

http://latvianhistory.com/tag/latvian-wa...






Its not "Catchy" nor is it easy to type but its Latvian and this kid could be its first international sports hero in this era.

I don't care what y'all say, or don't say, I'm sticking with The Law.

I dig the lessons on Latvian hero epics and Bond villain nationalities...

But just seems like everyone is trying way too hard to be cute with this. The best nicknames are organic, not manufactured.

Plus his last name is so distinctive! Porzingis is good enough for me.

KP is simple and catchy, and would go well with a chant. He also seems to like it.

Still...

Goldzinger.

He's the man, the man with the shooting touch.
A silken touch.
Such a cold flinger.
Beckons you to block his shot
But then drives in.

Golden shots he will pour in the net,
But his shots can't disguise what you fear,
For an opponent knows when he's kissed the glass,
It's the shot of death from

Mister Goldzinger.
Power forward beware of his shot of gold
His shot is cold blooded.

He loves only net,
Only net.
He loves net.
He loves only net,
Only net.
He loves net.

KP is short and easy and he likes it. I see no reason to look any further. He wants to be like KG in that sense. It works now and as he matures.
Moonangie @ 11/23/2015 1:00 PM
NYT today mentioned "Godzingus", not that he resembles a giant lizard, but I bet it would stick.

THE NEW DEAL

What does "Porzingis" mean when translted?
newyorker4ever @ 11/23/2015 3:17 PM
I'm liking K-Swiss or K-Swish. It's either that or KP or KP6 but K-Swish is catchy.

Hahahaha... well if you can get Dame Shirley Bassey to croon this version, I might have to join the Goldzinger bandwagon!
