Fat Lever: Nuggets don’t have to rally around Michael Porter Jr.’s tweets, but they should rally around MPJ

When it comes to George Floyd, Fat Lever is rooting for justice. When it comes to Michael Porter Jr., the Nuggets legend is rooting for cooler heads. And for the Denver locker room to rally around its young forward.

“I think everyone is coming at it differently, especially when you don’t know a person,” Lever, the former Nuggets point guard, said of MPJ, whose tweets last regarding the Minneapolis policemen who had Floyd in custody when he was killed drew the ire of current and former NBA players.

“And to criticize (MPJ) from a distance, fair enough,” said Lever, 59, a fixture of the Nuggets’ backcourt from 1984-90.
