Celtics’ Kristaps Porzingis keeps focus on team success over individual accolades

“My main focus is – or the only focus is, really, to keep winning,” said Porzingis.

Kristaps Porzingis may have played a bit below the level of an All-Star in the Boston Celtics loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. But his focus is on trying to get team wins over individual success according to the Boston Herald’s Steve Hewitt. “To be completely honest, my focus is so low on that,” he explained postgame.

“My main focus is – or the only focus is, really, to keep winning. If we’re No. 1 in the league, I think those things will kind of take care of itself,” added Porzingis. “But I would say even the importance for me, comparing to maybe the beginning of my career, it’s so much lower now.”

“You cannot even compare it,” explained the star Celtics center. “I know what my main goal is and what I’m here for.”

“So again, as I’ve said before, if we just keep winning, those individual accolades will just kind of take care of itself,” said Porzingis.
