Michael Porter Jr: “I’m really excited for this next chapter out here in Brooklyn. Over there in Denver, I feel like my ceiling had kind of plateaued,” he said. “We just have a way of playing, and how Joker plays, how Jamal plays, that two-man game is very potent. That’s how we play. I’m so appreciative of the way we played. We end up winning a championship, but I do feel like my ceiling in Denver kind of plateaued a little bit. I’m excited for this next chapter in Brooklyn, for sure.”

Michael Porter Jr. brought back “Curious Mike” to talk about the trade. Main takeaways: MPJ thought his potential had “plateaued” in Denver, looks forward to being able to show more of his game in Brooklyn. Mike and Cam Johnson are cool, might swap homes.
