Kristaps Porzingis is holding a basketball camp in his hometown ... 'Kamp Kristaps', we'll call it. And the lanky power forward is by no means the only camp counselor. Teammate Kyle O'Quinn was already in Latvia helping out, and he was joined on Tuesday by Sasha Vujacic and Kevin Seraphin.
Ian Begley takes us to the Liepaja courts which nurtured the young Unicorn:

Oh Number 5, you poor sweet bastard. You never stood a chance.
To paraphrase the Old Dirty Bastard, Kristaps is for the children!
