Before coming into the NBA, Kristaps Porzingis was a star back in Europe and made a name for himself with his former team Sevilla in Spain. On Sunday, Porzingis went back to watch his old team play and recieved a huge standing ovation from the fans. Porzingis played with Sevilla for five seasons and joined the main team in 2012 at 16 years old. Porzingis is already excelling in the NBA and is hoping to one day receive the same response from fans in the United States.
