LOL
Three 6 Latvia  
BigBlueinChicago : 11/23/2015 5:57 pm : link
was working for me.

But I'll go with KP.
It's really the lamest of the nickname possibilities...

a default to be used only if there are not other suitable alternatives.

Drago is by far the best nickname. Also, the player has no say in his nickname!

What is the basis for 3 6 Latvia? He shoots 3's, wears 6?
Tesla, Three 6 Mafia is a rap group

Three Six Latvia works very well!
KP is the second lamest  
Deej : 11/23/2015 6:09 pm : link
KP6 would be lamer. Glad we quickly rejected Me7o.
I also think Porzingis is fun to say

Kristaps is fun to say. He doesnt really need a nickname.

I'm picky about nicknames. It was unfair that Randy Johnson was called the Big Unit. His name was already a euphemism for a penis. He didnt need a nickname that was also a euphemism for a penis. He got greedy.
Well said,

Big Johnson or Randy Unit?

No Knick names for Porzingas!

Perhaps that was the EXACT reason why they called him "The Big Unit."
Yes, KP makes sense.

That's him on the left.

Porzingis

Whatever  
mfsd : 11/23/2015 6:36 pm : link
He'll always be Zinger to me
These fucking stupid "initial" nicknames  
Model4001 : 11/23/2015 6:56 pm : link
Couldn't be Zingis Khan, no. That would be too clever and actually, you know, good.
Jesus Kristaps, what a play!

Part of me wishes John Sterling would get a chance at making something up for him lol.
KP6 is brutal though  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 11/23/2015 7:08 pm : link
KP is a little better but it's still pretty weak shit.
I'm not really a Knicks fan  
RobCrossRiver56 : 11/23/2015 7:16 pm : link
But I am happy for all my Knick fan friends that this kid is playing well.

KP is lame.
KP is fine when typing because it is so simple  
steve in ky : 11/23/2015 7:21 pm : link
but if I were speaking I can't see myself not using his name(Porzingis). I'm not calling him KP verbally any time soon.
Big L?  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 11/23/2015 7:40 pm : link
For Latvia and referencing one of the best rappers ever
I prefer Three 6 Latvia, although the 3 makes no sense.

Whiteside's wing span must be 8 freakin' feet... his arms are ridiculously long.
