NBA star Kristaps Porzingis, the Dallas Mavericks 7’3″ hope for the future — along with his fellow European NBA sensation Luka Doncic — is looking pumped about the upcoming NBA season. And we mean pumped in every way.
Porzingis is positively jacked in the gym– his arms and shoulders looking sculpted and powerful. The once skinny (though always strong) Latvian big man has added serious muscle and muscle tone to his towering physique since last playing NBA basketball for the New York Knicks. And Porzingis is showing it off to his new team’s owner Mark Cuban, who he tags in the post.
That quote? Well the self-made billionaire Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is fond of saying that in business, as in life, the only thing you can truly control is your effort. The same goes for sports. Beyond effort the rest is all variables — a good bounce or a bad bounce, a good call or bad one, all sorts of factors are well beyond the athlete’s control.
Porzingis obviously takes Cuban’s directive to heart and he’s hitting the gym to give what he can control all the effort it deserves. The Mavs are going to be tough to match up against.
