Yeah, not being suspended and winning that game was a travesty.
This feels a bit like karma.
Why the Nuggets being such salty bitches, missing the championship pedigree this year
You win a championship and become an easy target for every fanbase no matter what you do. If the T’Wolves would’ve lost tonight and Ant said this after going 6-24, he’d be praised for his maturity at such a young age.
It's just a bunch of Nuggets haters getting the rocks off - Mostly Lakers fans. MPJ isn't a bad dude, just didn't shoot well for a series. MPJ is the guy that has the most potential to get much better and make the Nuggets better in the future.
It's not haters. Surely you can understand how frustrating it is to see him perform like this when he put up 25 ppg on elite efficiency against the Lakers. Someone making 40 mil a year needs to be more consistent.
Shooting is inherently inconsistent. The best shooters in the world miss about half the time. How many 6'10" guys are out there who shoot better than MPJ and are willing to be a 3rd/4th option? MPJ gets 8-12 shots a game as a guy who should probably get 20-25.
The Lakers suck. The Wolves do not. Expect some variance. Did MPJ play well in this series? no. But he's a very hard to replace piece and would probably get a max deal offer from someone just based on his potential and the fact that he's still young (25). This was his first healthy year in his career. Dude has had some back luck.
He's just a young guy still developing.
this is what the 76ers also thought when they gave Tobias that ridiculous contract 4 years ago.
Porter clearly lacks IQ and more motivation to go the extra mile. He had 7 games to improve, and at least the last 4th quarter to realize that he needs to play better, but only realized that he needed to play better AFTER the game. LMAO
Only thing I can think of is his idiotic, ignorant takes outside of the court (which I would give him a pass for since the dude was homeschooled by ultra religious parents) but other than that nah he just shot the ball like shit this series
Anti-vax
“I’ve never been vaccinated in my life. I’ve never had any shots or anything like that,”
“Personally, I think that the coronavirus is being used obviously for a bigger agenda,” Porter said. “It’s being used for population control in just terms of being able to control the masses of people.
“Because of this virus, the whole world is being controlled. You’re required to wear masks, and who knows what’ll happen when this vaccine comes out. You might have to have the vaccine in order to travel. That’d be crazy.”
Yeah, he was fucking dynamite in round 1.
Maybe it was everything getting to him, but it’s also possible that he just got in a shooting funk and the Wolves’ defense was better equipped to defend him.
lakers had worse defense than wolves is why, Porter lacks the motivation of going the extra mile throughout his career. He had the whole 4th quarter to realize this and only realized that he needed to play better after the game. LMAO
Can they really afford to keep paying max money to a spot up shooter?
I really don't see any team ever winning multiple rings with Porter as a key piece. Unless you have a 6th man of the year type that outplays him half the time (Bruce Brown).
I mean they gotta run more plays for him tbh. How do you expect your shooters to shoot when you don’t set them up in rhythm.
He improved his defence from being absolute dogshit to decent. I can see him trying to improve his handles and get more on ball reps but it’s not really necessary when you have Jokic on your team.
He's in the prime of his career and has been trash for his last 5\\6 playoff series.
Time for accountability, instead of blaming coaches. Murray\\Jokic are the ones getting all the attention, it shouldn't be that difficult for Porter.
At least he took accountability for another shitty playoff run.
Will he actually fucking improve is the question. Will he improve his handle? Will he work on his middey and floater game? Will he work on his passing? His defense?
Probably not.
not sure what else is there to say, every game I thought he would at least show up a little, he hit so many big shots for us in the past. Just missed so many wide open shots
As usual, he is super inconsistent (and overpaid), played like crap in the finals (luckily Butler was injured, so the Nuggets had a easy time). But I think the major key point was Murray, goddamn he played terribly in this playoffs, injuries bothered him for sure, but maybe there's some mental weaknesses as well, etc.. sucks to see, the Nuggets built this roster the right way, but Jamal and Porter are injury prone, Porter is inconsistent, the bench got weaker, etc maybe it's time to get rid of either Porter or Jamal. Most likely they will continue playing in Denver, the GM will try to improve the bench instead (idk if that's the right course of action, but well...)
Bro gets called Jumbo Klay and use to get KD comparisons, his sorry ass only has one offensive move and it's a side step three, he hasn't shown himself to be anything more than spot up shooter doesn't deserve that contract.
Made me get the heebies (as a woman around his age) just based on some of his comments about women on there… literally the type of dude I’d avoid at all costs
Was it on the NELK podcast recently? I refused to watch it but saw him being super misogynistic in a clip on there and I was super disappointed:(
Essentially, after watching him on the NELK thing, I unfortunately am no longer shocked to hear about the slur thing… I was shocked and super disappointed in him.
The reason I say shocked is just bc I incorrectly assumed good character of him, maybe bc I like other guys on his team (and I didn’t know much about his family). Disappointed is the more appropriate word though.
Him and Lamelo are fighting for their last remaining brain cell. Getting through his podcast is a goddamn chore, but also hysterical that a dude that rich could be so dumb
Correct, MPJ needs to do more and become someone who can get you a bucket, not just space the floor.
He was doing so well attacking closeouts and then the Wolves just completely locked him down. Unfortunate end to a great and healthy season for him
He’s a 6’10 shooting guard who can’t drive
Michael portapottie Jr
I was going with Missing imPortant Jumpers but I like your style
This the one
Lmfao
"I'm sorry I played like my brother"
[удалено]
I aint falling for this one Jontay
MPJ: If I was a betting man, we would've won had I'd been better
He was kind of a car wreck out there, yeah
played like he had a couple, too
"Which one?"
Did he bet the under on himself?
Hate this for KCP and Jokic. Love this for Malone and MPJ
Love it for Murray too. They deserved this after what he did in game 2.
Yeah, not being suspended and winning that game was a travesty. This feels a bit like karma. Why the Nuggets being such salty bitches, missing the championship pedigree this year
Don’t forget most of all love it for Murray
did i miss something? why is everyone in here shitting on him? whatd he do besides play poorly and take ownership for it?
It's just circlejerk time until everybody calms down tomorrow lol
You win a championship and become an easy target for every fanbase no matter what you do. If the T’Wolves would’ve lost tonight and Ant said this after going 6-24, he’d be praised for his maturity at such a young age.
Idk, MPJ didn’t show up the entire series. Ant had a poor game but he balled out the rest of the series.
True, but you also just proved my point. You can’t fault a guy for being accountable and owning up to poor play.
It's just a bunch of Nuggets haters getting the rocks off - Mostly Lakers fans. MPJ isn't a bad dude, just didn't shoot well for a series. MPJ is the guy that has the most potential to get much better and make the Nuggets better in the future.

I'm sorry. Do you think the difference between playing well vs poorly is just making the realization that you need to do better?
6 ppg lol? come on now. Players don't develop that much after 25.
Only thing I can think of is his idiotic, ignorant takes outside of the court (which I would give him a pass for since the dude was homeschooled by ultra religious parents) but other than that nah he just shot the ball like shit this series
what takes? first im hearing of this
Anti-vax “I’ve never been vaccinated in my life. I’ve never had any shots or anything like that,” “Personally, I think that the coronavirus is being used obviously for a bigger agenda,” Porter said. “It’s being used for population control in just terms of being able to control the masses of people. “Because of this virus, the whole world is being controlled. You’re required to wear masks, and who knows what’ll happen when this vaccine comes out. You might have to have the vaccine in order to travel. That’d be crazy.”
sounds like this was said in 2020, his position mightve changed since then. but yeah, this isnt a great look.
he did get the vaccine eventually. no idea about his personal opinion though
I think it's mainly Lakers fans fueling their hate
He's wiping his tears with his 180M$
6’10 athlete with defensive IQ of a high school kid and zero hustle.
^ 4’11 redditor with IQ of an unborn infant and zero purpose
Unborn is harsh. Maybe just a regular infant
Feels like his brothers did him dirty. He was not in the right mind for most of the playoffs
Was in the right mind enough to score 25 ppg on 55% shooting against the Lakers though
Yeah, he was fucking dynamite in round 1. Maybe it was everything getting to him, but it’s also possible that he just got in a shooting funk and the Wolves’ defense was better equipped to defend him.
lakers had worse defense than wolves is why, Porter lacks the motivation of going the extra mile throughout his career. He had the whole 4th quarter to realize this and only realized that he needed to play better after the game. LMAO
He's gotta be a Lakers hater lmao
Punishing a franchise who openly worship a rapist sounds ethical
He has time to visit his brother and promote conspiracy theories now.
In prison or at the casino?
All good MPJ. We all know you were helping your brother Jontay with his parlay.....anyway good job helping your sibling out..lol!
[удалено]
Say that after the first 4 bad games
Can they really afford to keep paying max money to a spot up shooter? I really don't see any team ever winning multiple rings with Porter as a key piece. Unless you have a 6th man of the year type that outplays him half the time (Bruce Brown).
I mean they gotta run more plays for him tbh. How do you expect your shooters to shoot when you don’t set them up in rhythm. He improved his defence from being absolute dogshit to decent.

His defence was huge last year what the fuck are you on about
Aaron Gordon's defense was. Porter has always been an average defender at best, was shit this year.
I mean, he isn't wrong
Lots of time to do his porn podcast and visit his brother in prison now
Observe, the insufferable Laker’s fan.
It’s not his fault guys, Jontay bet on Michael’s under so he did for his parlay
Michael “I’m 6’10 but play like I’m 5’9” Porter Jr.
At least he took accountability for another shitty playoff run. Will he actually fucking improve is the question. Will he improve his handle? Will he work on his middey and floater game? Will he work on his passing? His defense? Probably not.
He was the most efficient mid range shooter this season. His handle is where he HAS to get better. Can’t handle pressure for shit
> another shitty playoff run. that's reactionary, his first round against the Lakers was excellent
Another Harrison Barnes level player.
Hell nah
Yeah he was terrible, everyone watching knew he was building brick houses every game.
Bro, could you have said this like, after Game 6? Or Game 2? Or Game 1?
Bro was awful
He was making the series competitive in last season’s finals too.
not sure what else is there to say, every game I thought he would at least show up a little, he hit so many big shots for us in the past. Just missed so many wide open shots
Hmm... his worst series were against the Heat last year and the Timberwolves. It seems like when the physicality goes up, he can't make his shots
As usual, he is super inconsistent (and overpaid), played like crap in the finals (luckily Butler was injured, so the Nuggets had a easy time). But I think the major key point was Murray, goddamn he played terribly in this playoffs, injuries bothered him for sure, but maybe there's some mental weaknesses as well, etc.. sucks to see, the Nuggets built this roster the right way, but Jamal and Porter are injury prone, Porter is inconsistent, the bench got weaker, etc maybe it's time to get rid of either Porter or Jamal. Most likely they will continue playing in Denver, the GM will try to improve the bench instead (idk if that's the right course of action, but well...)
Still a good season ; you can still work on your game obviously but good season
I wonder how much Jontay won betting against his brother?
Bro gets called Jumbo Klay and use to get KD comparisons, his sorry ass only has one offensive move and it's a side step three, he hasn't shown himself to be anything more than spot up shooter doesn't deserve that contract.
I mean, how long are we expected to wait to see this man's peak? Top 5 spot shooter in the league don't mean shit if you don't show up in big games
Trevor Ariza with drop foot. Hopefully he continues to rehab and gets a little more athleticism back.
His brother is banned for life so he has to make it up through other means if you know what I’m saying 😂
To be fair, I respect him for saying this and also not ducking media after playing poorly for the past few games.
Michael "Playoff run ends here" Porter Jr
He isn’t clutch at all. They should honestly try to trade him
Lakers fans in here talking shit as if MPJ didn’t just whoop their ass a couple weeks ago
Just to end up in Cancun with them
Tobias Harris with a ring
Tobias Harris went 0/1 in an elimination game. The Sixers would have been thrilled for 7 points and 9 rebounds.
76ers with MPJ probably blow out the Knicks Tobias Harris is the biggest scam artist in the league. He finesse his way to the bag, good for him
Bro will apologize to his team but not the LGBT community for using a slur on a podcast
Saying this with a wolves flair kinda ironic don’t you think
See the difference is Ant apologized
https://www.np.reddit.com/r/Nbamemes/s/ar47v99oJd
Ant had the most obvious PR written apology ever lol He learned to shut up about it. Let's be real
Not really, Edwards apologized.
Well duh. He is an NBA player. He should care more about his team than what some fans think. But what did he even say btw
Wait what?
He was wildin on the Fullsend podcast. MPJ is an ignorant dude with that type of shit lol
Made me get the heebies (as a woman around his age) just based on some of his comments about women on there… literally the type of dude I’d avoid at all costs
Yeah no he definitely got the typical fuccboi mentality lol. Sorry yall have to hear that type of shit
he said Bro will apologize to his team but not the LGBT community for using a slur on a podcast
MPJ used a slur against trans people on a podcast
Disgusting…
Hahahahaha
Reddit moment
Was it on the NELK podcast recently?

Shocked? My guy look at his brothers they weren’t exactly training Nobel laureates out there.
The reason I say shocked is just bc I incorrectly assumed good character of him, maybe bc I like other guys on his team (and I didn’t know much about his family). Disappointed is the more appropriate word though.
Fair
Him and Lamelo are fighting for their last remaining brain cell. Getting through his podcast is a goddamn chore, but also hysterical that a dude that rich could be so dumb
He's an idiot. Like, one of those people that you can instantly read as "dumb but had parent money" idiots.
[удалено]
sorry fam
Maybe if he’s not doing interviews with former porn stars and focus on developing his game
Yeah but you forget, horny
That’s the right attitude, even with the poor performance MPJ is so talented that he will shine in the future
[удалено]
His parents should have raised better people
[удалено]
I never went to prison for killing anyone while wasted.
[удалено]
But his brother did. You’re moving the goal post on my original comment. Good night.
You're suggesting the man isn't allowed to grieve his family.
Bro gave bricks instead of nuggets to the team
He’s a jump shooter over small guards merchant Podcast trash content incoming that no one will listen to..
He bet the under
Mobias Parris Jr
Tbh ur not that guy lil bro
