Kevin Porter Jr.’s stint with PAOK in Greece has reignited his passion for basketball and provided him with a supportive environment to showcase his talents. Despite his aspirations to return to the NBA, Porter expresses gratitude towards PAOK for the opportunity they’ve afforded him and the familial atmosphere they’ve cultivated. 

“I guess we’re going to have to wait until that happens, but if it’s up to me, I don’t see myself when it comes to overseas standpoint if I’m staying out here [for] another year,” he declared.

“If I have opportunity to go back to the NBA, then I’ll probably go back to the NBA. If it’s not the NBA, I don’t want to play for no other club than PAOK.”
