‘Most famous Latvian in the world’ out of hiding for documentary

Tucked away in his European homeland for the offseason, Kristaps Porzingis will be back in United States living rooms June 25, when ESPN airs an E-60 documentary on the Latvian’s life.

Jeremy Schaap is host and traveled last June to the seacoast village of Liepaja to spend time with Porzingis, his brothers and his parents. Footage was filmed in the house where he grew up (his parents still live there) and the Baltic Sea beach minutes away at which the 7-foot-3 forward spent relaxing times despite military detritus left over from World War II.

“He’s the most famous Latvian in the world,’’ Schaap told The Post.
