Joe Lacob, the owner of the Golden State Warriors, has expressed his admiration for the team's recently acquired player, Kristaps Porziņģis. In a post-game statement following the Warriors' loss to Porziņģis' former team, the Boston Celtics, Lacob reflected on how much he values Porziņģis as a player, noting that he has always considered him one of his favorites due to his skills and height.

During the game, the Warriors fell short with a score of 110-121. Porziņģis contributed from the bench, playing 17 minutes and scoring 12 points, demonstrating some of his capabilities that led to his signing with the Warriors. Lacob mentioned that Porziņģis showed glimpses of why he was recruited, which excited fans for his future potential with the team.

Lacob has been advocating for the team's management to bolster the roster with players like Porziņģis for an extended period, and his enthusiasm about the new addition reflects both his personal preference for the player's style of play and the strategic considerations for the Warriors as they aim for success in the NBA.
