Big NEWS! Kris to endorse health bar

-

You’re welcome, Kristaps! The Knicks Latvian sensation, Kristaps Porzingis, copped a recent endorsemen­t deal with Zing Bars — a Seattle based nutrition bar company — courtesy of a Daily News back page with the headline ‘Next Big Zing,’ from his rookie season in 2015.

Zing Bars CEO David Ingalls saw the headline on the back page and immediatel­y contacted his people in the Big Apple.

“One of our investors in New York — and he’s a big Knicks fan — texted me and said will you please find out who Kristaps’ agent is,” Ingalls told wwwfoodnav­igator-usa.com. “Because this guy is going to be a phenomenon and he’d be a great ambassador.”

Porzingis — now the face of Knicks nation after Carmelo Anthony was dealt to Oklahoma City before the season started — is not only an ambassador but an investor and on the board of directors.

“Like most people these days, I need to eat right to be always on my game, whether on the court or off. I’m lucky to have a nutritioni­st to help me. For those who don’t, Zing Bars taste amazing so make healthy choices easy,” Porzingis said.
