MANILA, Philippines - Steph Curry may have made the tunnel shot famous but New York Knicks rookie center Kristaps Porzingis showed he has a bit of range himself.
Porzingis sank the shot from the tunnel at the Golden State Warriors' home court of Oracle Arena while wearing tsinelas, shortly before the Knicks were crushed by the Warriors on Thursday, March 17, 121-85. The 7-foot-3 big man Porzingis tells ESPN that he hit the shot on his first attempt.
"I made it on the first try and just walked away.
"I had no doubt in my mind I was going to make it. It's a practice shot.”

The Knicks may not be able to beat the defending champions in a 5-on-5, but Porzingis has at least proven that Curry's favorite trick shot wouldn't necessarily earn him a letter in a game of horse. – Rappler.com
