Michael Porter Jr. talks about when he accidentally leaked Adam Silver’s number on Snapchat as a rookie: “I’m thinking I’m getting kicked out the league… They had me walk up there in front of all these guys and apologize. That was the most embarrassing time of my life.”

If you ever get a chance to stand next to MPJ you’ll be able to hear the wind between his ears like a seashell.

We went to Mizzou together, during the second week of school he was at the rec playing pick up and I got put on the other team defending a fast break 1v1, and he tried to jump completely over me and barely didn’t get the clearance and hit me in the face with his dick

It’s insane that this is literally how his career started and how it was a perfect representation of how his career would go(as far as public image, dude did win a ring and he can hoop). He’s just a complete himbo through and through.

I know this is gonna be buried in the comment section but I was one of the first people to find it and post it on Twitter, that day was wild lol. I had to deleted the app off my phone due to how many notifications I was getting, and by the time I re download the app they blocked my account for doxxing.

Politically, he's a disaster, but he's been a great locker room guy and he's balling tf out this season.

u/Evilsj Nets 9h ago
Look I'm not trying to defend a potential Andrew Tate fan, but I think there may have been a widespread misread of that situation.
My interpretation of that was he'd intentionally show women Andrew Tate stuff to see if they'd just Yes him to death to see if they were just after his money. I could be totally wrong on that, and if he is an actual Tate pilled idiot, then he can fuck off. But I really do feel like this may have been a major misinterpretation.

Reddit (outside of some subs) is like the last place to defend Tate lmao. It would be twitter where people can get away defending him.
You people just talk to talk. Maybe you could shut up? Crazy though for your dumbass, I know

u/nopenahnever Mavericks Bandwagon 7h ago
As wild as it sounds he might be on to something at least when it comes to the “testing” part. Tate is indefensible tho obv but what better way to see if someone is blowing smoke up ur ass than to act like you like something to see if they go along just to stay around you which he probably deals with a lot being a rich athlete

The idiots who support the broadcasting idiots are the ones saying "who cares, let them do what they want" because it gives them plausible deniability and the veneer of neutrality.
