Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis on having cornrows as a kid: 'Girls loved it'

As a little kid, Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis had cornrows mainly because "girls loved it."

We've all made youthful mistakes. However, if you think New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porizingis' decision to have cornrows from ages 10 to 13 was a mistake, you would be dead wrong.

The Latvian sports program Sporta Studija (via Posting and Toasting), recently talked with Porzingis' youth coach for their show. While talking about the Knicks rookie, the coach showed pictures of a young Porzinigis with cornrows.

Asked about his cornrows, Porzingis didn't act ashamed of what some may see as a youthful indiscretion. Instead he stood by his decision, proudly acknowledging it while giving the real reason he had cornrows. 

The reason Porzingis went with cornrows from around 10 to 13 years old: "I loved the look and the girls loved it."
