Michael Porter Jr. has certainly proven himself on the basketball court and is even a champion thanks to his time in Denver with the Nuggets. However, just because of what he was able to accomplish on the court doesn’t mean that his entire life is as put together as many would assume. In a recently posted clip via @NBACentral, the New York NBA player can be heard opening up about his dating life, and it’s not necessarily a good look.
The video posted on X shows Brooklyn Nets star Michael Porter Jr. as he is asked a pretty simple question by the man interviewing him. The question was how he would feel if his girlfriend told him that she was planning on attending a “Girls’ trip to Miami.” However, instead of giving a normal answer that showed no sign of insecurity, MPJ decided to go a different route.
“Going out in any city, if it’s my girlfriend, is dang near cheating. That’s grounds for a breakup,” Michael Porter Jr. can be heard saying in response to the question asked of him. By this answer, it would appear as though the NBA player believes simply the act of going into a city with friends is, in fact, being unfaithful to your partner. So by that logic, when MPJ enters a different city for his NBA games, that could also be seen as cheating?
Social Media Reacts To New York’s Michael Porter Jr’s Relationship Advice
X users were also pretty quick to poke some holes in this logic, as many would hurry to leave behind their two cents regarding the situation. “He wants a pet, not a real person,” pointed out one. “Always healthy for your relationship to project your insecurities onto your partner,” said another sarcastically. A different commenter then wrote, “This is insecurity dressed up as loyalty.” Finally, one last person’s comment also read, “That’s why Michael Porter Jr. will always be an incel.”
Brooklyn’s Michael Porter Jr. is no stranger to odd quotes, as he recently went on a podcast tour after being traded from Denver to New York. From there, he went on multiple strange and image-shattering rants regarding a large range of topics. However, at the end of the day, he most certainly lost more fans than he gained.
Michael Porter Jr. has been on a tear in New York, though, and has done a nice job of putting the Brooklyn Nets on some teams’ radars. However, they are still a long way from being out of the shadow of the New York Knicks, and until then they will always be the other New York team.
