Kristaps Porzingis Comes From a Basketball-playing Family

Porzingis was born to parents who had been basketball players in their life. His father, Talis, was a semi-professional basketball player before becoming a bus driver.

Ingrida, his mother, was a member of the Latvian women’s young national basketball team. Similarly, Kristaps’ older brother, Janis, is also a professional player, and Martins, who is about fifteen years older than his younger sibling, was also an active player.

He is also reported to have another elder brother who died 14 months after being born.

Porzingis, too has followed the same path as his family and has become an NBL player.

He can shoot above most defenders due to his height and quickness, and his sheer stature and high volume create a unique advantage shared by no other player in the league.
