Kristaps Porzingis' hometown erected billboards for him
Just in case you didn't think Kristaps Porzingis was tall enough, wait until you see how big he looks on a billboard.
People of Porzingis' hometown, Liepāja, Latvia, have constructed multiple billboards dedicated to the Knicks' star rookie. Here are some of them, courtesy of the Knicks' PR account:

According to Sports Illustrated, the signs read "Welcome to my town." That's one heck of a way to honor a 20-year-old whose fame keeps reflecting his arms: growing and growing.
Now, we sit and wait to see if Porzingis can touch the top of the billboard without jumping.
