Kristaps Porzingis’ NBA journey hasn’t quite lived up to the sky-high expectations set for him. While showcasing solid talent, he hasn’t tasted much success in his previous stints. But now, in Boston, a new chapter unfolds.
The Latvian big man has landed in a winning organization, a stark contrast to his past experiences. He recently expressed his awe at the Celtics’ high standards, calling them unlike anything he’s encountered before.
“Things are done differently, at a much higher level than on other teams I’ve been on,” Porzingis said, hinting at his previous stops.

Drafted by the Knicks under the tumultuous James Dolan regime, Porzingis witnessed dysfunction and a lack of winning culture. His time with the Mavericks, often praised for owner Mark Cuban’s leadership, didn’t seem to click either.
A brief stint with the Washington Wizards, another team struggling to find consistent success, followed before he landed in Boston. While Porzingis isn’t without his own share of responsibility for past shortcomings, his talent is undeniable. Now, finally, he’s proving his potential as a key contributor on a championship contender.
