Averaged 27.8 points per game! The best season of his career! He was delayed by the Nuggets

Since leaving the Nuggets, I have rarely seen news about Michael Porter Jr. In fact, he has been playing well recently. In the past 8 games, Porter averaged 27.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game for the Nets, shooting 50.3% from the field and 40.6% from the three-point range. So far this season, Porter Jr. has played 14 games, scoring 30+ points in 5 of them!

Porter Jr. started 14 games for the Nets this season, averaging 32.9 minutes per game, scoring 24.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 48.6%, 37.5%, 84.4%. His average points, rebounds, assists and free throw percentage per game are all career highs.

Porter Jr. averaged only 19 points per game in the previous season (2020-21 season), and has never exceeded 20 points in his career. It seems that he will do it this season. In fact, Porter's explosion was expected. The Nets have no record pressure and he has unlimited firing rights. As of today's pre-game, the Nets have 3 wins and 12 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference and fifth from the bottom in the league.

Porter Jr. scored 20+ points in 8 consecutive games and sent 7 assists in a single game, both career records. The Nets scored 300 points and 10 rebounds in the first 13 games of their career, the fastest in Nets history! Porter Jr.'s five-year, $173 million contract expires in the summer of 2027. This season's salary is US$38.33 million, and next season's salary is US$40.81 million (12 million guaranteed).

Porter Jr. must play well before the Nets can convert him to a fully guaranteed contract. Like other NBA players, Porter Jr. also has his own blog program. Others talk about basketball and life, but Porter is different. He often talks about gender. Nets officials recently warned Porter Jr.: Don’t speak out and avoid certain topics.

Talking about the temptation faced in the NBA, Porter Jr. said: "Salaries of millions of dollars, five-star hotels, the most beautiful cities in the world, and women waiting in the hotel lobby are all difficult to resist. Certain players have different women in each city. Friends, because the nature of NBA games is to travel around."

Porter talked about his own experience: "I once liked a girl, and we had a lively chat, but I didn't dare to interact with her publicly on and off the court because I was afraid of being photographed by the media. I have to do some research to understand their background and real situation. I would not look for girls who are already in relationships with other people."

Porter Jr. participated in the Howard Podcast and talked about marriage and children: "I will not live with other girls before getting married, let alone. Have children with other women before marriage. I don’t like to be too close to others. I like distance to bring beauty. My ex-girlfriend comes to me once a month, and I will help her pay half of the rent for one year!”

Little Porter also admitted that his weakness is women. When Porter was traded to the Nets, Jokic reminded him to "pay attention to safety in Brooklyn." Warriors player Chai Meng recently commented on Porter: "On the surface, Porter has let himself go after leaving the Nuggets. In fact, he wants to be a gender blogger and make a perfect transition after retirement."

What do you think of Porter's remarks?
