Watch: Porzingis nails step-back fadeaway, stares down Dirk

Well, that didn't take long.

Kristaps Porzingis pulled off Dirk Nowitzki's signature move - a step-back, one-legged fadeaway jumper - over a hapless Dorian Finney-Smith, while the Dallas Mavericks legend watched from the sidelines.

The New York Knicks sophomore topped off the gorgeous display by staring down the man who inspired it.

The 21-year-old Latvian planned to meet with the German superstar during the offseason to learn the move, but a scheduling conflict pushed the session to next summer.

Looks like Porzingis got a head start working on it.
