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.

He'll always be Drago to me.

I thought those things come naturally..

And I don't know why most people are against "Kris". I like it. I don't get "Its not a nickname, but just a shortening of his name"

Isn't Carmelo`s nickname "Melo"?

Melo and Kris. Sounds like a name of a kids TV-show.

Haha I just asked this in the other thread. Yea the nickname stuff is much ado about nothing. Kris, KP, KP6... all fine. I do like Air Zingis (even though Aer Lingus is Irish, haha)

Kristaps is fine with me!
