Hornets rookie Frank Kaminsky shares his love of dance with the people of China
Those who watched Wisconsin’s run to the 2015 NCAA national championship game were likely already well aware of just how fluid and flashy a dancer Badgers center Frank Kaminsky can be. For those of us who might’ve missed those undergraduate moves, though, the 7-foot power forward/center — whom the Charlotte Hornets chose with the ninth overall pick in June’s 2015 NBA draft — offered a more expansive and, dare I say, professional performance during Charlotte’s Fan Appreciation Night event in Shanghai on Tuesday as part of the NBA’s Global Games trip to China:

Maybe the Hornets were onto something when they turned down four first-round picks to stay put and draft Kaminsky; that was once-in-a-generation poise on the breakdance finish. We can only assume Chinese fans have already begun working up the blueprint for a Marbury– and Kobe-esque statue of the 22-year-old big man.
