Kristaps Porzingis is already on his way to being a huge superstar in New York and throughout the globe but this will make Knicks fans love him even more. Starting with this Sunday’s home game against the Atlanta hawks, Porzingis will donate $500 for each blocked shot he gets for the rest of the season to RENS, a non-profit youth basketball program in NYC.

The donations from the “KrisStops” campaign, which is a great name by the way, will be used for the Ben Jobe educational and scholarship fund. It will provide free tutoring, SAT prep as well as tuition money for students in grades from third to eighth.

Ben Jobe is a scout with the Knicks who is 83 years old and won more than 500 games as a head coach at multiple black colleges and universities.

So far, Porzingis is averaging 1.2 blocks per game, which would mean on average at least $1,000 will be donated each game. You can bet he will work his butt off to increase that number. Shout out to him for getting involved with this program.
