If MPJ didn’t get injured, you could argue that he may not be an NBA champion today because there’s no way in hell he would’ve fell that far in the draft to DEN

Kind of crazy to think the Nuggets gave this guy a big ass contract knowing he had serious injury problems yet, it all worked out. Porter played his ass off with limited movement. Perfect player for Jokic. Hopefully Porter gets healthier and goes on to have a great career as a great role player

@eliyarrows2456 Жыл бұрын

He’s already a great role player and one of the best shooters in the league, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in an all star game at some point in his career. If he’s averaging like 24ppg on the 1 seeded nuggets he might make it, remember the warriors had 4 all stars at one point because they were the best record and one of them was draymond with 6/6/7 as his averages.

People don't understand that MPJ is a lethal scorer who was slowed down by those back injuries. He's had to change his game into being strictly a shooter. I think it works because he is still a lethal shooter. 49% 3 point % vs the Lakers was amazing!

@Dave.... Жыл бұрын

That's some real shit tho. When you get an injury when you're young and notice you might not ever be able to do this again is severely depressing. I injured my back and slipped my discs years ago. And I'm always like if this didn't happen I could still be doing that and this. It really hinders your thoughts and what your true capabilities are inside.
