Michael Porter Jr.: “I definitely tried to compartmentalize — some bad and sad stuff happening with a couple of my brothers. But I’ve got, you know 15, 16 more brothers in here. I knew I had to be here for them.

This is a mentally strong man right here.

I just happened to be listening to some sad music while reading the title and now I feel emotional 😭
Surprisingly good answer
Tragic shit man…. Jontay is a moron but the other stuff is really tragic. Prayers for the families that lost loved ones.
Before bro got banned
*”I’ve known my brother my whole life. I know what type of dude he is and I know he’s excited to play basketball, and I highly doubt he would do anything to put that in jeopardy.”*
One of the worst comment sections I’ve seen in a WHILE
I would compartmentalize too if my little brother kills someone’s mother and only gets lightly sentenced.
So heartbreaking all around
Someone put a Midwest emo riff over this
So glad they beat the lakers. Good game.
Im ootl here. What happened?
It’s kinda crazy how much the guy has matured during his time in the league. I recall a lot of people thinking he’d be a troublemaker a few years ago, but seems like he’s ended up with a good head on his shoulders and the improvement in his play speaks for itself.
Seattle is rooting for you kid
Respect for the mental toughness and the answer here
Let lll
Awesome response. We’re rooting for you Michael.
Perfect response. This is a grown man right there.
MPJ a real one for this.
Chris Webber ruined the word compartmentalize for me.
MPJ showing why he’s a mental giant. I’m not saying his brothers deserve any sympathy, but it had to be tough seeing them both throw their career/life away.
For a guy notorious for saying dumb shit this is literally the perfect answer. Good shit mpj I hope everything works out for u
Yeah that’s definitely tough
Really great answer he has so many brothers in Denver <3 MPJ
Is that the guy who was openly doubting science, during Covid?
Well hopefully Jontay can get a job being a ping pong player…heard they get paid well..
Walder Frey type beat
He has super star talent and he’s really matured into a leader. I was a big doubter of him reaching his potential because of that. He’s really proved me wrong and is a true pillar of the nuggets success. He’s a true product of buying into the Nuggets philosophy.
I feel bad for MPJ
