New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis was named the Latvian Athlete of the Year at the annual Latvijas Gada Balva Sporta in his native Latvia on Thursday.
Prozingis’s grandma, Antonija Trumsina, great-aunt Ilga Lemaine and aunts Ilga Pavare and Ilze Berzina accepted the award on Porzingis’s half according to Kyle Schnitzer of the New York Post. The star wasn’t in Latvia to accept the award since he was helping the Knicks beat the Orlando Magic.
The Knicks sensation said on Friday that his grandma is part of a singing troupe.
