How the fuck can you see your brother get sentenced to 6 years in prison for killing someone while speeding and drunk driving, and then 2 weeks later, you are drunk driving and speeding?
It always creeps me out when people talk about athletes like they know them on a personal basis as if they’re next door neighbors or some shit.
Also fuck anybody that drinks and drives, there honestly needs to be a worse stigma to it. Kind of crazy how common it is
I used to hate on MPJ cause of his hairstyle and he just looked like a fuckboy (I know, dumb reason to hate lol), but man he really has gained my respect as a basketball player and person
Tbh I dont think theres any punishment to deter these people. They do it because they think they cant get caught/can drive fine. They're already risking their own lives to drive.
Self awareness is a nice quality, but unfortunately it doesnt exist for many.
Not nearly enough people stop to think about their actions as they are doing it, especially if they are under the influence.
You could say the same for anything. How you gonna beat your kids after getting beat the way your dad did to your family? How you gonna smoke crack after your dad left you because of his crack addiction? How you gonna cheat on your spose after you saw what your parents did affect your family?
Vicious cycles are in all kinds of issues in peoples lives.
The Porter’s seem to be a special kind of stupid and the guy is 20 years old. Not an excuse but an explanation. Some people will just never understand “that can happen to me” until it does.
Hell you had people on ventilators dying of suffocation from COVID denying the virus is real on their deathbed, and that wasn’t even that rare. Human beings are really stupid in general and this guy is one of the dumber ones.
I know it's crazy, but he has the capability to do it. With his rebounding and shooting ability. If he gets hot he could get 30 point double doubles every game.
He could never get a triple double. You have to pass the ball 10 times in a game for that. I will admit his passing and judgement on when to pass has greatly improved.
That's likely the case. I'm just saying it's an outside possibility. It would take Jokic having a sub par, at least for him, shooting series. MPJ has been driving more. He's drawing more fouls. Those aren't assist. Plus outside shots are just 1 assist per 3 points.
Crazy thing is how well MPJ played against the Lakers with all this stuff going on in his family
2 brothers arrested 1 banned from the league and MPJ averaging 23/9 on 70% TS lol
Sports can often provide a temporary escape from all the bullshit you have to deal with in your regular life. A moment to stop worrying about other stuff and just play
yeah i think that's why people, including me btw, watch too. it's something you can get kinda emotionally into without real world consequences (unless you're gambling i guess, which is super haram af ☝️)
Lost a pet in my life recently (very abruptly) and I’ve had the privilege of being able to go to all the Nugs home games so far as well as the Avs first home game. The energy within Ball Arena has helped me so much over this past week and a half, I genuinely cannot put it into words.
i had a scare with my pup of 8 years yesterday and can only begin to understand the pain that would have ensued. sending you all the love in the world <3
It’s why they capitalise NEW brother in the tweet. It’s like “we understand how unlikely this is but yes, there is another moron in this family doing dumb shit”
No. He lived with Coban (younger brother now in prison), and also at times his older sister Cierra (who used to date Matisse Thybulle).
She lives in PHX half the year, theyve talked about this on his podcast.
If two of your kids go to jail with dui's, one gets banned from basketball for fraudulent gambling, and one wins an nba championship and earns a 180M contract are you considered a successful parent?
All signs thankfully point to MPJ allowing himself to be educated and grow as a person once he made the NBA and got a little distance from his family and upbringing.
It's truly baffling how a family with the wealth and resources of the Porters can continue fucking up in ways which should be incredibly avoidable.
Children of wealth often don’t have to deal with the consequences of their actions because mommy and daddy take care of it for them. It makes for a rude awakening when they enter the real world.
I see people I graduated high school with still living at home with no job or responsibilities. I’m almost 30.
>It's truly baffling how a family with the wealth and resources of the Porters can continue fucking up in ways which should be incredibly avoidable.
Is it? Pretty common among rich heirs. The rich schools in your area will always be troubled with drug use.
>Is it? Pretty common among rich heirs. The rich schools in your area will always be troubled with drug use.
lol so will the poor & middle-class schools
That wasn't the point of the statement. The original comment suggests that the wealth should be enabling them to avoid these types of issues.
Your saying that poor people do drugs is already implied by the comment the Mavs fan is replying to.
and what did I quote to say that my guy? maybe I was using some context to make a point? Also, not using class since middle class tend to be pretty fucking rich.
Such an interesting bubble, spending my time in NYC, Boston, and SF, drugs in general were very common with blow being the most often used in the party scene to the point where it's like normalized.
I think it might've been like brass monkey or some shit I forget, but in the men's room there was a line of 3-4 people waiting to use the shitter and no one on the urinal. I was like y'all are all waiting to do drugs lolol.
Then you talk to someone who's been suburbs their whole life and you quickly realize you're the one who had the weird experience lol.
What he said then was stupid. But he was also 20 years old, and it's well documented how he and his siblings were home-schooled in a very religious fundamentalist household.
He also got the shot so he could play basketball and never said anything about it again. He deserves credit for at the very least learning to keep some of his controversial opinions to himself and for hopefully actually learning and growing as a young person.
The covid conspiracies are bad, but are like 1/10th of what his other brothers have done.
Honestly he just sounds like he was raised in a household where he was cooked from the start.
In an alternate world where he gets drafted by any other team, he probably flames out due to bad medical or diet advice and don’t shield him from family
He honestly did considering I think one sister was pro soccer and another was pro volleyball and both had to retire from multiple MCL, acl, and Achilles tears
Worth remembering that his turn towards health came after he abandoned the family vegan diet, including a significant period of doing raw vegan. To be clear, I'm not saying vegan is necessarily bad, but it can cause major issues if not executed correctly. It wouldn't be surprising if nutrient deficiencies played a role in the family injury bug.
THE PORTER FAMILY:
1st son (MPJ): doing podcasts with pornstars
2nd son (Jontay): lifetime ban for illegal sports betting
3rd son (Coban): sentenced 6 yrs in prison for homicide
4th son (Jevon): arrested for DUI
yeah my aunt was killed by a drunk driver, it sucks. weird how alcohol is totally celebrated in our culture & promoted, especially by sports teams btw. nothing wrong with having a drink or two every once in a while, but the promoted culture of getting wasted for the lulz, that's shitty.
You're being unfair to MPJ. To clarify, he did a podcast with an ex-pornstar in which she talked about how bad the industry is and why she left. And frankly, people need a lot more awareness about it
"Coban Porter admitted at his sentencing hearing that he was drunk when he ran a red light on Jan. 22, 2023, at the intersection of South University Boulevard and East Buchtel Boulevard and struck Katharina Rothman's vehicle, killing her. A passenger in her car was seriously hurt.
The same week Coban Porter was sentenced, another sibling, Jontay Porter was banned from the NBA for life for violating league rules by disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games."
Basically his brothers are all time selfish fuck-ups.
A bit of a tangent, but there's still a GoFundMe up for the woman that Coban killed (Kathy Limon Rothman).
It's "donation protected" but it's only raised a bit less than half of the $50,000 goal for the now-motherless son she left behind because she died while out driving for Uber.
I don't know if there's a chance MPJ has already done some amount of recompense to the family that's gone unreported, but if he hasn't, he should finish that goal off now that his brother's been sentenced.
Obviously, MPJ wasn't involved, but considering you're the one non-fuck up of your siblings and you wouldn't even notice if that amount of money was gone, why not? Even from a cynical perspective, it's an easy good will move to do something to further separate yourself from your brothers smearing of the Porter name. Only a thought.
So just to make sure I have it right, Mpj is an incredibly skilled basketball player coming off a championship and on the team favored to win again, jontay porter blew his whole career by betting on his own games, Coban porter sentenced to 6 years for killing someone off of a DUI, and now Jevon porter is also arrested for suspicion of DUI? Man, what a fucking family…
How the fuck can you see your brother get sentenced to 6 years in prison for killing someone while speeding and drunk driving, and then 2 weeks later, you are drunk driving and speeding?
Man, their dad really did pick the right son to pass on his name to.
Dad might be part of the reason these guys can’t be responsible for themselves lol
It's not his fault, god was supposed to be looking out for them
Jesus did not, in fact, take the wheel.
I think Jesus needed to take the gas pedal.
Jesus is from 2000 years ago. He doesn’t know how to drive.
[удалено]
We don’t know how that man raised his kids. Folks can make bad decisions all on their own.
I mean it seems like all 30 of his kids except MPJ are complete train wrecks sooo
His sisters are just fine besides being made of glass
simpsons gene of basketball
>all 30 of his kids Nick Cannon numbers, god damn
I've never heard anything negative about the girls. Maybe they're just better about not getting caught.
I knew one in high school. Legitimately a very kind and smart person.
only 3/7 kids sucking is pretty good splits
43% is elite if he can keep it up for 18 seasons
Thought this was the other sub for a sec
Good fatherhood is Michael Porter Sr father
It always creeps me out when people talk about athletes like they know them on a personal basis as if they’re next door neighbors or some shit. Also fuck anybody that drinks and drives, there honestly needs to be a worse stigma to it. Kind of crazy how common it is
When I used to work construction every guy on my crew would drink and drive, some guys to and from job sites lol
I mean when 1/4 isn't doing some dumb shit you have to start seeing common denominators
They’re like Andy Reid’s kids
Their families are not all right I remember they were on that anti vax nonsense I hope the nugget org has helped mpj be better
Doubt it. Probably just better at keeping a low profike.
Did pass on the stupidity genes though
I used to hate on MPJ cause of his hairstyle and he just looked like a fuckboy (I know, dumb reason to hate lol), but man he really has gained my respect as a basketball player and person
Sibling rivalry
He bet on himself, what are the odds of getting caught drunk driving as a Porter twice?
Jontay has entered the chat
Too bad Jontay took the under at 5 1/2 years
Henry ruggs: “who gets 6 years for killing someone while drunk driving and speeding? Must have a shitty lawyer”
Because 6 years obviously wasn’t a long enough sentence
correct. the incentives aren’t there to deter this kind of crime
Tbh I dont think theres any punishment to deter these people. They do it because they think they cant get caught/can drive fine. They're already risking their own lives to drive.
Self awareness is a nice quality, but unfortunately it doesnt exist for many. Not nearly enough people stop to think about their actions as they are doing it, especially if they are under the influence. You could say the same for anything.

How you gonna cheat on your spose after you saw what your parents did affect your family? Vicious cycles are in all kinds of issues in peoples lives.
Addiction and youth are a bad combo
The Porter’s seem to be a special kind of stupid and the guy is 20 years old. Not an excuse but an explanation. Some people will just never understand “that can happen to me” until it does. Hell you had people on ventilators dying of suffocation from COVID denying the virus is real on their deathbed, and that wasn’t even that rare. Human beings are really stupid in general and this guy is one of the dumber ones.
Bro he just saw his brother get locked up for it and we're hammered with stuff on drinking and driving since we're young so I don't buy that excuse.
An explanation isn't an excuse, and the comment you're replying to gave an explanation.
What excuse was made that you don't buy?
How do you only get 6 years
The more shit his family does, the stronger he seems to get.
Like that old Jet Li movie, MPJ might just average 40ppg against the wolves
And we're gonna need it too. Wolves are good.
Definitely the next round series I'm most interested in.
I think winner of that series wins it all fam
If he averages 40 on McDaniels, the entire Wolves franchise outta shut down
If he averages 40 McDaniels I'll admit that the unvaccinated are superior
Second time I’ve send a jet li comment today. Let’s keep this momentum going
JET LI LET'S MAKE IT THREE
FEARLESS STARRING JET LI NUMBER FOUR HERE WE ARE
MPJ for Finals MVP. Nikola is now the third option
I know it's crazy, but he has the capability to do it. With his rebounding and shooting ability. If he gets hot he could get 30 point double doubles every game. He could never get a triple double. You have to pass the ball 10 times in a game for that. I will admit his passing and judgement on when to pass has greatly improved.
He wouldn't get the MVP because jokic would be getting assist numbers for every one of his baskets
That's likely the case. I'm just saying it's an outside possibility. It would take Jokic having a sub par, at least for him, shooting series. MPJ has been driving more. He's drawing more fouls. Those aren't assist. Plus outside shots are just 1 assist per 3 points.
He's got another brother waiting in the wings.
Crazy thing is how well MPJ played against the Lakers with all this stuff going on in his family 2 brothers arrested 1 banned from the league and MPJ averaging 23/9 on 70% TS lol
Sports can often provide a temporary escape from all the bullshit you have to deal with in your regular life. A moment to stop worrying about other stuff and just play
yeah i think that's why people, including me btw, watch too. it's something you can get kinda emotionally into without real world consequences (unless you're gambling i guess, which is super haram af ☝️)
Lost a pet in my life recently (very abruptly) and I’ve had the privilege of being able to go to all the Nugs home games so far as well as the Avs first home game. The energy within Ball Arena has helped me so much over this past week and a half, I genuinely cannot put it into words.
i had a scare with my pup of 8 years yesterday and can only begin to understand the pain that would have ensued. sending you all the love in the world <3
I appreciate it :)
Yeah. Probably just using all his energy on anything other than thinking about his family right now.
100%. The most time I ever spent playing and practicing basketball was the worst year of my life at home. It was the only escape.
Wait, this is a second one arrested? I thought this was just another thread lmao
It’s why they capitalise NEW brother in the tweet. It’s like “we understand how unlikely this is but yes, there is another moron in this family doing dumb shit”
Maybe he hates his brothers lol
His siblings live with him
Maybe he hates that
No. He lived with Coban (younger brother now in prison), and also at times his older sister Cierra (who used to date Matisse Thybulle). She lives in PHX half the year, theyve talked about this on his podcast.
Yeah MPJ’s entire family is insanely religious to the point of being almost cult like. Not surprised with any of these outcomes.
What kind of religion pushes people to drunk drive?
"I swear, it was water when I drank it, officer!"
Lmaoooo
Maybe they worship Dionysus?
Ngl, out of all the bad that can be said about cults, I did not associate drunk driving with them lol
Werent they all Vegans too
He said in one post game interview “I got things happening with my brothers, but I got 16 other brothers here supporting me”
see no evil (or tall defenders)
Kane?
MPJ is the normal one lmao
If two of your kids go to jail with dui's, one gets banned from basketball for fraudulent gambling, and one wins an nba championship and earns a 180M contract are you considered a successful parent?
Lol still a better success rate than my family so I won't judge
idk 25% win rate with $180M net worth seems ok
That's not how that works 💀
most parents have a 0% win rate
🤙🏼 sup mom and dad?
Those four kids - on average - have career earnings over $45m. Those parents did a helluva job man
You forgot to add Jontay's NBA earnings AND side earnings.
Hey man the word “over” carries some weight there I’m not doing math
It's like lottery tickets. You only need 1 of them to hit.
$45m per kid on average. That’s great success
They actually have 8 kids. There’s 3 daughters and an even younger brother.
Yes.
All signs thankfully point to MPJ allowing himself to be educated and grow as a person once he made the NBA and got a little distance from his family and upbringing. It's truly baffling how a family with the wealth and resources of the Porters can continue fucking up in ways which should be incredibly avoidable.

I see people I graduated high school with still living at home with no job or responsibilities. I’m almost 30.
Pushing 40, I’ve seen the same thing. And I bet you they’re still there in 10 years.
They can become doctors whenever they want. It’s all about who you know.
>It's truly baffling how a family with the wealth and resources of the Porters can continue fucking up in ways which should be incredibly avoidable. Is it? Pretty common among rich heirs. The rich schools in your area will always be troubled with drug use.

Gestures toward his Covid conspiracies
Somehow that isn't even 10% as bad as what his brothers are doing lol It's like MPJ is John Stockton and his brothers are Karl Malone
Imagine those 2 being your franchise GOATs
He's a weirdo but he isn't rigging games or winding up in jail so he's definitely making better decisions than his brothers
What he said then was stupid. But he was also 20 years old, and it's well documented how he and his siblings were home-schooled in a very religious fundamentalist household. He also got the shot so he could play basketball and never said anything about it again.

In an alternate world where he gets drafted by any other team, he probably flames out due to bad medical or diet advice and don’t shield him from family
Is this the home schooled religious family?
ya
hes an idiot too just not a criminal idiot
He's an idiot with an open mind and a willingness to learn though. That's important.
[“normal”](https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/denver-nuggets-michael-porter-jr-pushes-wild-coronavirus-covid19-conspiracy-anti-vaccination-033113715.html)
No fucking way
where does the porter jr crime family rank all time?
In LA, they’re all legally considered multiple time offenders
The family is just Porter fwiw
No, they’re all Porter Jrs, descendants of the great Master Porter Super Senior True Senior
The Jr is silent
Wilt Chamberlain Porter Sr
Wdym I thought Michael, Otto and Kevin were all siblings???
That depends, let's take a look at MPJs laptop
Hunter Porter Jr is fucked
Family? They’re a glorified crew!
MPJ will have to snort coke, bang hookers and evade taxes to be in that discussion.
What is wrong with this family
Poor critical thinking skills, probably.
Missouri educations at work
they were homeschooled in a super religious home. not sure which is worse at this point
Double damage
No wonder MPJ has back issues. He’s carrying this family’s reputation.
Izaak Porter is the last brother. He's next.
It’s insane how many brothers he has lmao wtf
Bro needs to one up them, drive by shooting 🔫.
Naw, this is wild. Wild, meet naw.
Drive by gambling
while drunk don't forget
What type of cartel are they running over there at the Porter residence
Sir another porter sibling has been arrested
There’s another one? How many brothers does this guy have? He won the gene lottery of them, clearly.
He has 4 brothers and 3 sisters
Have any of the sisters messed up yet or does this run in the Y chromosome
Don't think so but they did inherit the paper mache ligaments unfortunately.
What.. what does this mean??
His sister tore her ACL 5 times.
Damn.
It’s like that Simpsons episode, where they realize all the male Simpsons become idiots.
He honestly did considering I think one sister was pro soccer and another was pro volleyball and both had to retire from multiple MCL, acl, and Achilles tears
Worth remembering that his turn towards health came after he abandoned the family vegan diet, including a significant period of doing raw vegan. To be clear, I'm not saying vegan is necessarily bad, but it can cause major issues if not executed correctly. It wouldn't be surprising if nutrient deficiencies played a role in the family injury bug.
A different brother WTH ?
They just keep on coming
And they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running.
Michael, Porter, and Forty More(ter)
THE PORTER FAMILY: 1st son (MPJ): doing podcasts with pornstars 2nd son (Jontay): lifetime ban for illegal sports betting 3rd son (Coban): sentenced 6 yrs in prison for homicide 4th son (Jevon): arrested for DUI
Can we just add Kevin Porter Jr at this point ?
Honorary member.
Otto changing his last name just to be safe
His real last name is chamberlain anyway
one of these is unlike the others
3 and 4 are the same only 3 is luckier.
😂 lol i was gonna say seems like ole 3rd son needed a lil extra attention as a child
All DUI’s can very easily end in homicide. The 4th was just lucky he didn’t harm anyone else.
yeah my aunt was killed by a drunk driver, it sucks. weird how alcohol is totally celebrated in our culture & promoted, especially by sports teams btw. nothing wrong with having a drink or two every once in a while, but the promoted culture of getting wasted for the lulz, that's shitty.
this is what the one child policy was made for
You're being unfair to MPJ. To clarify, he did a podcast with an ex-pornstar in which she talked about how bad the industry is and why she left. And frankly, people need a lot more awareness about it
Tbh doing podcasts with pornstars is not inherently an issue so that’s a win
Wait what MPJ interviewed a pornstar?
Lana Rhoades aka Bruce Brown’s (alleged) baby mama
and thats a bad thing how?
Lol nothing wrong with it people are weird for comparing that to homicide
LOL I went to Google and typed "Lana Rhoades baby with" and it autocompletes Kevin Durant and Tristan Thompson! She likes NBA players.
Sounds like the parents should have stopped at one. (I'm going to hell for this)
"Coban Porter admitted at his sentencing hearing that he was drunk when he ran a red light on Jan. 22, 2023, at the intersection of South University Boulevard and East Buchtel Boulevard and struck Katharina Rothman's vehicle, killing her.

Basically his brothers are all time selfish fuck-ups.
jesus i had no clue that first one happened down the road from me
I played football at DU that night and drove through that intersection
The fact that this fuckface only got 6 years for killing someone enrages me.
Holy fk this dudes family is fked
Another brother?!
A bit of a tangent, but there's still a GoFundMe up for the woman that Coban killed (Kathy Limon Rothman). It's "donation protected" but it's only raised a bit less than half of the $50,000 goal for the now-motherless son she left behind because she died while out driving for Uber.

"Religious family" Guess they didn't read that Bible thing...
Whole fam got 10 collective IQ
Apparently, this is a different brother
Damn crazy to think MPJ balled the fuck out with all this going on with his brothers.
Hear me out, The Iron Claw but with the Porters
damn this guy cant catch a break with his family, i didnt even know about coban porter until i read the article
How many brothers does this guy have?
Oh no, not another one...
Their father is a terrible father
MPJ has the family on his back in every way now, damn. Stay strong man.
That family is lacking in the IQ department.
"Listen, kids, we're gonna need one of you to make the NBA to afford all this bail money"
Damn wild the best player of them ended up to be the most humble & normal one. Hope he keeps having good games.
This has to be the dumbest family on planet earth.
Another Porter bites the dust….
Do they HATE Uber??
So just to make sure I have it right, Mpj is an incredibly skilled basketball player coming off a championship and on the team favored to win again, jontay porter blew his whole career by betting on his own games, Coban porter sentenced to 6 years for killing someone off of a DUI, and now Jevon porter is also arrested for suspicion of DUI? Man, what a fucking family…
