The popularity of New York Knicks‘ Kristaps Porzingis has already grown to the point that he’s receiving write-in votes for mayor.
Bill de Blasio was elected to a second term as mayor of New York City on Tuesday, but at least one person had New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis in mind. That’s right; the unicorn received a write-in vote in the midst of his dominant play.
The 22-year-old joked about the latest addition to his legacy to Ian Begley of ESPN New York.
“That’s pretty funny. I think I’m definitely ready for the job,” Porzingis told ESPN with a laugh. “People have a lot of imagination.”
Porzingis is out in Wednesday night’s game on the road against the Orlando Magic. The supporting cast needs to step up and figure out a way to get buckets without their unicorn on the court.
