The big fella also has his eyes on the Defensive Player of the Year award and the All-Star team.
Per ESPN:
Kristaps Porzingis on hearing MVP chants at MSG:
“I’m not thinking about that too much. I said my goals for the season were most improved player of the year. I felt like I had an opportunity also not exactly this year – I want to get it this year (but) in my career I think I have the opportunity to win defensive player of the year and also the all-star game is a goal for me individually. But all those things are going to come if we win games… so I’m happy as long as we’re playing this way.”
