- Michael Porter Jr. sees the criticisms about his passing
- However, the forward noted he’s one of the best 3PT shooters in the league
- Porter Jr. added that he doesn’t see when his shot is contested
The Denver Nuggets won the 2023 championship, and there is no doubt that forward Michael Porter Jr. was a huge part of their success. His 3PT shooting and rebounding greatly helped the team in the postseason, but despite that, it seems as though the forward still has haters.
One of the key criticisms of Michael Porter Jr. is that he is a poor passer and frequently takes “bad” shots. Recently, Porter Jr. responded to the haters, claiming that he is one of the best 3PT shooters in the league and doesn’t see when people contest the ball.
“I’m aware of the little Michael ‘Never swing the rock’ Porter Jr… To be completely honest, I’m one of the best shooters in the league, like humbly. I don’t see contests [when I shoot the ball].”
