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.
