Porzingis zings himself after 0-for-11 night
A riddle: When can a unicorn be a GOAT?
The answer: When he saves an 0-for-11 shooting night with a hilarious quote.
Take it away, Kristaps Porzingis!
"Kobe says you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. Well, today I missed all 100."
That's perfect, except I don't think Kobe Bryant said that. Nor did Michael Scott of The Office fame.
Per ESPN, it was indeed Wayne Gretzky who said it:
"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.": Gretzky's famous quote from January 1983 was a response to Bob McKenzie, then editor of the Hockey News, saying to the Oilers' star, "You've taken a lot of shots this year." Gretzky finished the 1982-83 season with 348 shots on goal and a 20.4 shooting percentage.
Still, that's a great moment from Porzingis. And it produced this great tweet:
