MPJ talks about expecting to be best player in NBA after beating Nuggets
Denver Nuggets v Brooklyn Nets | David L. Nemec/GettyImagesAfter balling out on Sunday afternoon to beat his former team, Michael Porter Jr. was asked if he’s surprised by his current play, and he explained that coming into the NBA, his expectation was to be the best player in the league, so this isn’t shocking to him at all.
It seemed like a bit of a subtle jab at the Nuggets, suggesting that he has always had this potential, but was never allowed to show it. But it wasn’t a full-on shot at the team that drafted him, as Mike made a point to emphasize all the unknowns around his injuries and how his durability and availability over the years are what he’s most proud of.
