Kristap Porzingis shows no mercy on ‘Crying Knicks fan’ kid in one-on-one game
When the New York Knicks drafted Kristap Porzingis with the fourth pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, it made many New Yorkers angry — some even cried, including a boy in the stands at the draft who became known as “Crying Knicks fan.”
But after a promising rookie season, Porzingis is now beloved by Knicks fans — even the ones that were upset when he was drafted.
A few days ago, Porzingis held a basketball camp for kids, and there was one boy who stood out: Crying Knicks fan.
The boy, whose name is Jordan, went from crying to cheering, as he quickly became a Porzingis fan.

At the basketball camp, Jordan got a chance to go one-on-one against Porzingis.
And Kristaps did not hold back.

It was all in good fun. As Jordan states on Instagram, it was a dream of a lifetime for him to play against his idol.
From crying to cheering to getting blocked by his idol, Jordan has had quite a year.
Dodgers mock rival Bumgarner with ‘Don’t Look at Me’ shirts, photos
The rivalry between the Dodgers and the Giants goes back to when both teams were in New York. The present-day California teams have reignited the feud in recent years thanks in part to two players: Yasiel Puig of the Dodgers and Madison Bumgarner of the Giants. Over the past two season, Puig and “MadBum” have exchanged words on several occasions, with benches being cleared on top of it.
On Monday night, Puig and Bumgarner exchanged pleasantries once again, with Madison yelling at Yasiel, “Don’t look at me!”

The Dodgers went on to win the game 2-1. The next day, Puig and a few of his Dodger teammates decided to poke fun at Bumgarner with a shirt and a tweet.

Don't look now, Giants, but it looks like the Dodgers are a step ahead of you this season.
