Knicks fans freaked out when their team drafted Kristaps Porzingis No. 4 overall last summer.

One young fan became the face of the anti-Porzingis cause, crying after the pick:

Well, a little patience no patience at all has paid off. Porzingis is averaging 13.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 27.4 minutes per game and looking like a future star.

And that kid has hopped on the bandwagon:

I am shocked by this development. I can’t believe the type of kid who’d rush to take a selfie of himself crying over a draft pick would change course so quickly.
