Michael Porter Jr.: “I would play basketball, you know, before my injuries. You know, now it’s a little different, like it sometimes feels like a job, but I love basketball so much. I would have played this game for free as long as I could eat. I loved it. So like, the money—that was never my goal. My goal was to be like, take this as far as I could take it, be as good as I could be. So man, the money almost honestly sometimes makes it a little bit harder to enjoy the game because with a max contract comes a lot of expectations on consistency, on you’re supposed to be an All-Star, you’re supposed to be this, that, whatever they say.”

Michael Porter Jr.’s big payday in Denver might not have been as big under this new CBA. While Porter helped the Nuggets clinch the 2023 championship, Denver already was flirting with the concept of including Porter in a trade to land Paul George this summer, sources said, although his cap number likely would have been too daunting for the CBA-conscious Clippers to have truly considered if George had opted in to be traded. -via Yahoo!

Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. is speaking out on the debate surrounding transgender athletes. Porter Jr., who won a title with the Denver Nuggets, is firmly against transgender women competing in sports. “Most women can’t compete with men, and I don’t think men should be able to transition and play with women. That whole conversation just irritates me,” Porter Jr. said on the “Full Send” podcast. -via The Spun / June 11, 2024
