A scrawny 7-footer named Kristaps Porzingis is causing a media circus this morning in New York where Phil Jackson made the 19-year-old from Latvia the No. 4 pick in the NBA Draft. It seems everyone has an opinion on the pick that’s supposed to be the future of the franchise, including the ladies from Rick’s Cabaret on West 33rd, just a short walk from the Garden.
Of course one of the dancers keyed in on the fact that Kristaps might be a 7-footer, but he only has 220 pounds (or so) on that new millionaire frame.
From the Rick’s Cabaret press office:
The Rick’s Cabaret New York girls love the NY Knicks, and some of them, but not all, are pleased with the Knicks’ signing of Kristaps Porzingis in the draft. “He’s 7 foot 3, and good looking,” explained Rick’s Cabaret NYC girl Paulina. “I want to welcome him to the big city and I volunteer to show him around.”
Paulina also knows a thing or two about basketball. “First, I will take him to the Rick’s Cabaret New York Steakhouse on the second floor and feed him. He will need more beef on his thin frame if he wants to compete in the very physical NBA.”
“Then I will introduce him to Rick’s Cabaret NYC Girl Greta, who is from his native Latvia. She wants to give him his first lap dance in America. Believe me, she will make him happy to be here.”
Rick’s Cabaret NYC girl Cheryl is not so sure that Porzingis was a good draft pick. “I’ve heard he’s not fully developed as a player. Seriously, he won’t have any impact for two or three years. We need help now! What was Phil Jackson thinking?”
Rick’s Cabaret New York is the upscale gentlemen’s club known for having over 100 gorgeous dancers performing daily. Located just one block from Madison Square Garden, the club is a favorite of Knicks fans and is famous for its warm hospitality, luxurious setting, and non-stop fun.
Like I’ve said for years around here: The Rick’s Girls know more about the ins and outs of sports than you ever will. It’s simply brilliant that Paulina will first take Kristaps to the steakhouse. She took one look at this kid during his NBA Draft introduction and knew New York and the NBA would chew him up. This isn’t her first rodeo with awkward scrawny tall guys.
Are you scrawny and plan on being in New York for business? Blow off a couple hours from the conference you’re attending and get over to Rick’s near Herald’s Square for one of those Kristaps steaks and a dance or three. Talk sports with the girls, especially the Europeans. They love basketball.
