Kristaps Porzingis’s Latvian credit card commercial is an acid trip from hell

I don’t know much about Latvia, but I suppose it’s possible their credit card commercials double as experimental surrealist short films. This one stars Kristaps Porzingis and it has broken my brain.
I thought at first I knew what was going on. There’s an enormous arm snaking through the sea and over a car’s hood.
That has to be a joke about Kristaps’s lanky physique, right?
Then the arm dunks itself in a goblet of honey because sure whatever.
But then... twist! The arm is not Kristaps’s at all. It is just a disembodied limb tousling his hair as he stands among the stars.
Maybe it’s just a commentary on how the Knicks defy logic.
