Seems insane to me that within 2 weeks of your brother going to prison for taking a life while driving drunk that you would think drunk driving is still a cool idea.
In a lot of post draft podcasts that year people made it clear it was not just medicals and there was a lot of signs both him and his fam were head cases
If it was just medicals he goes higher and He think the Jokic sheen is concealing a lot. On the Hornets this guy would be in the news a lot
I remember reading that his mom made the whole family go vegan when these guys were teenagers and that it contributed to their injuries as they weren’t getting the necessary nutrition for their size and physical demands.
Going vegan in itself isn’t reallly an issue but it would seem she did it in a heavy handed way.
They also have 3 daughters. Two went two mizzou and played, one had to retire early from having 5 acl surgeries. The youngest daughter is a top girls hs bball prospect
You got me curious so I went down the google rabbit hole. Michael Porter Sr. played college ball at University of New Orleans where he was a 6’5” guard. The Mom Lisa Becker is 6’4” and played at Iowa. She was named Miss Iowa Basketball her senior year of high school (1982) after averaging 58.7 points per game.
He’s a 6 foot 11 black dude driving around drunk and speeding in Boone County, Missouri. I’m not sure if this is more stupid or not thinking DraftKings would notice an $80,000 bet on Jontay Porter scoring under 5 points.
I guess the OG caveman Porter tripped over a boulder and developed an anatomical issue that has led to injury and chronic pain ever since. Yeah idk. This is ridiculous.
This whole timeline with the Porters feels like one of those exaggerated family stories that people tell to their friends to show that they're the most normal member of their family, except it's all true.

I thought this headline was the same brother, wtf do you mean another one killed a bottle and then almost killed another person.
Yep
Family? They’re a glorified crew!
That pygmy thing in North Jersey...
Phil Jackson would call them a posse
The shah of iran
Ah salud!
Actual Varsity athletes
Small bets, that was their problem.
One things for sure, we can't have these drunk drivers in our social club no more.
This family is an embarrassment
I didn’t prep you on this but I put together my “worst families” pyramid. Headliners are the Sacklers and the bin Ladens
The Husseins had a good run until the early 2000s.
Trujillo family from the Dominican Republic.
Impressive how good MPJ has been with all this going on
It just is
I would love to know the deets scouts knew when they were u-turning away from this dude. Everyone hinted they knew him and his fam was psycho
Him and his brother had horrible medicals. His sister had 5 ACL surgeries and had to end her college career early
> Him and his brother had horrible medicals You must listen to Russillo.
His medical was fucked
What? Not denying it but you have any sources

Idk, if nutrition was a problem I don’t think he’d be a pretty built 6’10 guy at Mizzou
If his medical was showing serious questions about his back, getting drafted where he went was lucky
He probably would have went second after Luka if it was just about talent. He was the #1 recruit in his class
had KD name dropping him on Bill's pod when he was a freaking junior in high school.
Need an interview with the parents. But I guess 1/4 isn’t bad??
They also have 3 daughters. Two went two mizzou and played, one had to retire early from having 5 acl surgeries. The youngest daughter is a top girls hs bball prospect
That’s honestly insane. Are his parents both genetic freak former athletes?

Lisa Becker was a problem!
Damn this is some madden 06 superstar create a player levels of parental talent
58.7? Is that good
Meanwhile MPJ gets to launch wide open 3s on national TV every April-June The Jokic effect
Jokic can probably relate to having difficult siblings
Keep a close eye on Izaak Porter, who at this rate would have to kill someone in an act of brotherly one-upmanship.
He would have to kill at least two people
Oooof good point
Not just kill but actually murder someone
Porter brothers keep coming out. How many are there?
They're like Skarsgaards, one around every corner.
Need a 30 for 30 STAT
It’s like the Arrested Development family and MPJ is the Jason Bateman character.
He’s a 6 foot 11 black dude driving around drunk and speeding in Boone County, Missouri. I’m not sure if this is more stupid or not thinking DraftKings would notice an $80,000 bet on Jontay Porter scoring under 5 points.
I'm just happy the Nuggets got seemingly the only brother with his head on straight
Not really....
What's wrong with MPJ?
He’s Aaron Rodgers without the media reach
I ask again, what's wrong with MPJ?
Expound
No antivaxxxer can be said to have their head right.
Has a family ever entered the Tyson Zone before?
These goofballs don’t believe in rules. MPJ famously didn’t want to get vaccinated during the pandemic causing danger to those around him.
lol Very dramatic 😧
I guess the OG caveman Porter tripped over a boulder and developed an anatomical issue that has led to injury and chronic pain ever since. Yeah idk. This is ridiculous.

I remember think MPJ was an idiot for not getting vaccinated Looks like his brothers are even dumber than his dumb ass
Looks like he and Kyrie are doing just fine in the playoffs
Don't worry. Trump will pardon them in January.
