When Michael Porter Jr. accepted an invitation to participate in the NBA 2K Players Tournament along other NBA players, he had no idea how big it would turn out to be.
“I didn't realize it was going to get this much publicity. I thought it was going to be an in-house, kind of fun thing,” Porter Jr. told Nuggets.com in a phone interview. “I didn't know it was going to be streamed or put on ESPN. It's kind of crazy.”
Make no mistake though, the Nuggets’ highly-touted rookie is excited to represent the Mile High City when NBA 2K Players Tournament tips off Friday night.
