Porter Jr. says Curry is the only player better than him in terms of pure shooting ability

According to US Sports F/W reporter Sidante Gupta. Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. has the potential to be one of the best shooters in the league in the upcoming season. The forward is confident in himself, already considers himself comparable to other great players, and says that in terms of pure shooting ability, only Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is better than him.

In a recent Twitch live broadcast, he claimed: "Stephen Curry. It's the only clear elite I've given, that can shoot better than I'm. Some guys are at the same level. I think Klay Thompson. KD, I think... if I go into the gym like Duncan Robinson, he might have shot with me. You know, Trae Young, Dam... but I think Stephen is the only one who is obviously a better shooter."

Curry cemented his achievements as the greatest shooter of all time in the league. The Warriors defender set the record for the most three-point shots in NBA history and he is indeed in his own position. With three-pointers becoming a more commonly used weapon in players’ offensive arsenal, the league has witnessed the rise of great shooters. Some of the names mentioned by the Nets forward are certainly worth paying attention to. While players like Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant are older generations, the budding genius is impressive in his own way. In this regard, Porter Jr. has also opened up a special position for himself.

While playing for the Denver Nuggets, Porter Jr. established himself as a sharpshooter. Early in his career, the forward showed obvious no hesitation when shooting from a distance. Given his innate scoring tendency, he has shown some of the traits necessary to be not only a great shooter but also a star.

In the Nuggets, Porter Jr. has limited opportunities. Although his role on the roster is crucial, the forward is limited to being a fixed-point shooter and moving without the ball. The restrictions were eventually admitted by the 27-year-old, who claimed he was stagnant in Denver after being traded to Brooklyn. For the forward, transferring to the Nets could be a refreshing pace change. As she is about to enter her peak period, Porter Jr. will become the first choice on the offensive end for the first time in her career.

With the opportunity to take over and control the offensive process, the forward may shine more than ever before, and may even become an All-Star candidate for the Eastern Conference. As some sources even claim he can compete for the scoring title, it’s certain that he averaged 18.2 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, shooting 50.4% from the field and 39.5% from three-pointers, which could see a significant increase.

But for the upcoming new season, the players have also experienced offseason. Some spend all day in the training room to polish their skills packages, while others start leisurely leisure time; but for this great league, only if you keep improving can you gain a foothold in the league. 40-year-old James is the best proof. Of course, the competition between Porter Jr. and Curry in shooting will also become a highlight of next season. What do you think?
