Watch Kristaps Porzingis effortlessly dismantle Darren Rovell in 1-on-1

Updated Mar. 5, 2020 1:02 a.m. ET

Delta Airlines and the New York Knicks held a joint event for their Fly Like A Pro sweepstakes on Wednesday, and as the Knicks are sports and airlines are business, ESPN sports business analyst Darren Rovell was there. 

At some point during the event, Rovell took off the slacks, pulled on a Dream Team jersey, and decided to challenge Kristaps Porzingis to a game of 1-on-1. It went exactly how you'd imagine something like that would go. 

Porzingis has all of the skill and infinite feet on Rovell so the game was over before it even started. There were post ups, fadeaways, and of course, putback dunks. There was also a long-range three preceded by a jab step that made Rovell move in a way that I have never seen a human body move before.

But as hilarious and as painful as it is to watch, you've got to respect that Rovell just keeps going back for more punishment. At one point he straightens up out of that awkward defensive stance of his and looks around for the camera before handing the ball back, just to make sure that someone was getting this beatdown on film.

It's inspiring, really. I'm trying to be that comfortable with myself one day.
