This Latvian song honoring Porzingis is the best


Congratulations are in order for New York Knicks breakout star Kristaps Porzingis, who took home Latvia's Athlete of the Year award this week.

But the best thing about the award isn't that he won it. No, it's the video you see above: It's in Latvian with translated captions, which say that Porzingis's family (grandmothers and aunts) accepted the trophy.

Then, they broke out in song, and it was glorious. Here's what the captions said they sang:

What would we like to wish our Porzingis tonight, tonight

Wish you good health and all of the work gets easily done

All those jealous sights should stay away from you

All the glory and fame for Kristaps while living in America

God give Kristaps opportunity to stay at such a high level for a long, long time

Bravo!!
