Kristaps Porzingis has had a telling impact on the NBA Finals and is one of the reasons the Boston Celtics are up 2-0 against the Dallas Mavericks.
With the Latvian star just two wins away from his first NBA title, his girlfriend has gone viral online.
Porzingis is known to be in a relationship with Laura Vizla, who also hails from his native country of Latvia. Laura, born on February 2, 1998, attended a musical academy in Riga as she was deeply interested in arts and dance. She also took gymnastics classes in her younger days.
Laura went on to work as a cheerleader for the VTB United League in Europe.
There is a lot more to Laura than cheerleading, however. She has also made forays into the entertainment industry, debuting as an actor in the Latvian film JVP Popiela, which somehow had a budget of $64.
Laura dabbles in modeling too, working for several top brands, including cosmetics company Jo Malone and European perfume brand Creme De La Creme Haute Parfumerie.

Kristaps Porzingis Gives Fans An Injury Scare Ahead Of Game 3
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled as day-to-day, and it’s feared he could miss Game 3 this Wednesday after being diagnosed with a rare tendon injury in his left leg.
The 28-year-old sustained a dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon during the second half of Game 2 on Sunday. Head coach Joe Mazulla reckons the injury is severe, telling reporters as much on Tuesday.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, there is nothing to suggest that the Celtics’ medical staff will keep him out if he feels he can play.
Porzingis has said he will do all he can to be available.
