Kristaps Porzingis, the official large adult son of the greater New York City metropolitan area, is still six weeks away from the NBA season. But as a proud Latvian, he’s playing in EuroBasket 2017. On Saturday, the Belgians met Porzingis. Oh, did they meet him.

What makes me very excited for the return of basketball is the classic attempt by Porzingis to not smile in awe of himself after the play. He knows that putback was rad, but he’s trying very hard to hide his pleasure.
