Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis dropped a comment on Instagram beauty and Sports Illustrated stunner Abigail Ratchford’s page after she posted photos of her sexy red ensemble, showing off her figure from the front and back. Using two sets of emoji eyes, Porzingis’ remark didn’t go unnoticed by Ratchford, who not only replied with the same set of emoji eyes and a kiss, but opened the floodgates to hundreds of other commenters.

“My man’s @kporzee is trying to slide in the DMs what’s up?” one user wrote.

“@kporzee if you don’t smash the knicks will never win a title,” penned another.

“@kporzee doesn’t slide in the dms. He powers forward through them,” a commenter shared.

While it remains to be seen if either Ratchford, 25, or Porzingis, 21, sent the other a personal message following the first exchange, it seems Porzingis could be the model’s type as she’s been linked to a few young and famous men.

Speculation surrounding her relationship with Johnny Manziel sparked last spring, after TMZ caught the pair leaving a Hollywood nightclub together. She has also dated Jamie Iovine, the son of film producer Jimmy Iovine.

Though Porzingis keeps much of the details of his personal life under wraps, he did let it slip he’s made time for select ladies.

“I mean you always gotta find a little bit of time for the girls, right? But there’s nothing serious really. Nothing too serious,” Porzingis dished in an interview with GQ last year. “I haven’t been that social yet, and I have been mostly focusing on basketball, but when I have a little more time I might to have to meet some new people.”
