In Porter Jr., the Nets are getting not only an elite shooter but also an interesting character off the court.
Recently, Porter Jr. took to his Curious Mike podcast to discuss some of his and his family's personal struggles as they deal with success.
"Everybody has different vices. Everybody has different things that they struggle with. That can go with people who struggle from alcohol, people that struggle with drugs. You know, for example, my brother struggled with gambling. My vice has always come in the form of women. And when I'm far from God, and I'm not in my word, I'm not praying, I'm not prioritizing Him, like that seems to be the place that the devil gets me, is in the space of women," said Porter Jr.
Fans on X, formerly Twitter, predictably had jokes about Porter Jr.'s admission (via NBACentral).
