New York Knicks Rumors: Kristaps Porzingis’ Real Test Will Come When He Turns 21 [VIDEO]

Don’t expect Kristaps Porzingis to be shot outside of a strip club anytime soon, but a new world will open to the Knicks rookie when turns 21.

At the moment, Porzingis is enjoying the quiet life in White Plains where he lives with both his parents and two brothers.

The Knicks Should Trade For Goran Dragic

“It’s always good to have support around,” Porzingis said, per New York Daily News. “Especially as young as I am, and being in New York and a lot of attention.

“For one part, yes, my family’s around to make sure I’m doing the right thing, I’m staying out of trouble, I’m just focused on basketball and I think for me that’s great to have family around.”

And do the right thing he has.

Porzingis won’t need one in eight months time, though. Not with his 21st birthday falling on Aug. 2.

A connoisseur of the hip-hop culture, the invites from the community will come in spades for New York’s biggest star. Not that Porzingis -- who doesn’t indulge in alcohol -- will go full J.R. Smith …

But the nights are long when you can finally enjoy a Drake show at the Brooklyn Bowl.

It’s a balancing act he’ll have to master in 2016.
