We’re at the point in the NBA offseason where fans look for anything and everything to get excited about for the upcoming season. It’s going to be a long two months.

Like, whoa.
Porzingis missed all of last season as he nursed an ACL injury, which obviously gave him plenty of time to focus on upper-body workouts. And the results are showing in a major way.
