ORLANDO - Kristaps Porzingis celebrated his first Thanksgiving on Thursday, without an American perspective of the holiday, but with a very strong appreciation of where he stands in life. And, more importantly, a thankfulness about who is surrounding him.
Porzingis brought his whole family to live with him in New York. It's a crowded group of five very tall Latvians, with two parents and three brothers living in an apartment that has Kristaps planning an upgrade.
"It’s too small. We need something bigger so that’s why we’re moving to a house so everybody can have their own space," the Knicks rookie told the Daily News.
