Michael Porter Jr. says the Brooklyn Nets front office has advised him to “steer clear” of certain topics during podcast appearances: “For the most part I’m chilling, I’m not trying to say nothing crazy no more.”
I bet the Nets front office is glad he’s telling everyone this
So let me tell you all about my NDA …..
Ive signed an NDA before too. AMA.
When does it run out?
Whenever I want. Who gives af.
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Anythings an instrument if you hit it hard enough
Ahh yes, the lesser known juggalo motto.
true. if u beat them cheeks, that sounds like an instrument
What was it about
A company I was interviewing with didnt want me to leak the questions I was asked.
What questions were you asked?
“Can you sign this NDA?”
Damn man you spilled the beans everywhere
Nets Disclosure Agreement
You wouldn’t believe this fucking NDA they had me sign, bro.
I mean, instead of saying dumb shit he said the Nets told him to stop saying dumb shit.
One of those things is much better than the other.
Feels like the Nets front office high-fived this W.
As a Net fan, I agree. At least they tried.
This is absolutely a win. MPJ telling the world is still pretty dumb as shit, but a HUGE win considering he’s willing to listen and just follow for now.
The last time this happened with the Nets, he didn’t tell the world, but basically told the world “fuck all that. I’m me.”
Like it or not, it’s his employer.
Barclays had black Israelites rallying pregame and Jewish people on the sideline wearing fight antisemitism shirts 😭😭😭
Kyrie is a schmuck. This MPJ stuff is so tame compared to the Nets trauma with Kyrie
Oh, I agree completely. Kyrie was too far gone. I think the topics MPJ has talked about are still weird as hell and are just red pilled BS. Not saying it’s worse than Kyrie’s, but in terms of the situation itself, far better than before because MPJ actually understood and is deciding to hold back.
So far at least.
Ever since I saw the pic of Adam silvers number on his snapchat I knew he wasn’t the brightest person in the world
Wait what? He doxed Adam Silver?
No, he docked with Adam Silver
That’s just how Adam silver feeds
this topic wasn’t on the list
Do they call it the kyrie clause
He said no more but not no less. Michael “the diplomacy ends here” porter jr.
Mitch Hedberg
it’s for a duck!
MPJ gonna make the Nets miss Kyrie
wait, is the story that the NBA told nets to not let Kyrie near a mic true?😂
Kyrie was a PR nightmare when with the nets. Whether it was the flat earth stuff, the antivax, or antisemitic tweet he shared while playing for a team owned by a Jewish man, dude brought negativity attention to the Nets on the regular
No chance whatsoever lol
MPJ is just funny stupid. Kyrie is insane stupid
Anyone who supports Andrew tate in any way is not just ‘funny stupid’. Sending women links to his videos to see their reaction is pretty fucked up.
look at Gobert too. he doubled down on the anti-vaxx stuff during the pandemic and got no media coverage about it
even in Minnesota, he’s endorsing a book by the French Andrew Tate where there’s chapters called how “Young Women Give You a Special Energy”
I know small market drama isn’t covered quite as much but Gobert was absolutely the center of attention when he pulled this stunt
yea that definitely did when it kickstarted coverage but everything he did that followed got no media coverage
Dammit I like goebert, thats so disappointing
Young women give a special energy called frustration. But then again when I was dating women my age that also happened some. It’s probably me.
Yup. MPJ isn’t funny stupid. He’s dangerous stupid.
Between that and a hitler fan, yeah, give me mpj.
You know you don’t actually have to support either, right???
The nets fans will always have to support 1 lunatic. It’s their fate
Jfc I forgot about the Hitler quote. My stance remains that they can both get fucked.
Lol because a popular public figure spewing Andrew Tate rhetoric is totally haha funny, not dangerous.
I don’t see what makes MPJ not also insane stupid
Theyre just trying to make themselves feel better lol, MPJ is insane stupid.
He’s not posting videos praising hitler for one. Granted kyrie obviously didn’t watch it and didn’t know that was in there but he defended it for weeks anyway lol
I’m not arguing that MPJ is more insane stupid than Kyrie. I just don’t see how MPJ isn’t also insane stupid.
Absolutely zero chance.
Kyrie was genuinely a malicious POS with his views and in addition, blew up our best team of all time. MPJ is just an air head, largely because of his parents choices to homeschool him and instil weird overly religious cultural values from a young age
the fact that the denver fo kept him so quiet is impressive
I say this in every thread. Denver did absolutely nothing to keep him quiet. The sports media doesn’t give a shit about the small markets, so you just never heard from him.
It’s getting out there now because he’s in New York, and that’s it.
Was he like this in Denver?
Yes, including a bunch of anti-vax comments during COVID.
He’s been a dumbass for a while
Apparently it’s genetic, and he’s the bright bulb of the family.
Considering his brother threw away his entire career for a few bets that’s a low bar
Wait until you hear what their other brother did
2 brothers with Dui’s, one happen to kill someone.
Reminds me of AB on the Steelers. Local fans knew about the crazy, but it really got out of hand when he left.
“Tonight…on Days of our Steelers…”
Michael Porter Junior High Education
That’s so insane
As someone who almost died from covid fuck him. People like him killed millions.
Im just lucky I was in good shape when it hit me otherwise I dont think I’d be alive today.
He said a lot of dumb stuff there but I do think he acted with some restraint as he was on a contending team and playing serious, winning basketball.
On the Nets he’s kinda free to do whatever he wants lol.
no bro he was talking about epstein conspiracies on curious mike years ago this is nothing new
I mean shit they’re still talking about Epstein in Congress, that’s nothing. Active players bashing the WNBA has almost always been worse than talking politics as far as the NBA goes
well he just shares his opinion on whatever is topical, the point is that he’s always said absurd stuff. He came into the league as an outspoken, super religious, anti vax conspiracy theorist.
Seems freeing his mind is translating to better play on the court lol. He is balling out in NY
Apparently he is not free to do whatever he wants lol
Not to this level
Yeah, the guy is an Andrew Tate fan
Perfect take
Wonder who else these small markets are protecting lol
Same with a guy like Ant. Every playoffs he does something wild and people talk about media training or whatever. I’m just like “he’s like this 24⁄7. The Timberwolves straight up release videos of him swearing like a sailor with a crazy taunt after a random Tuesday December game and no one cares because it’s Minnesota”
Ant gets away with saying crazy stuff because he’s funny and incredibly charismatic.
He played 1 playoff game in LA and instantly got fined for getting into a dick measuring contest with a fan
Rudy’s ex-girlfriend was sharing some crazy shit on social media and not a peep from anyone lol
It feels like such an uphill battle to summon any interest in Rudy Gobert’s personal life.
Oh my heavens, swearing? In this day and age? What a lack of decorum! Won’t somebody think of the children?!? First it starts with swearing, then cavorting with vile harlots brazenly flashing their ankles, and pretty soon they’re partaking of the devil’s own lettuce in dens of iniquity.
You need to report this to Adam Silver ASAP before this ne’er-do-well corrupts more youths
national media loved covering the Nugs during the Melo years (unless you’re just talking about the podcast era)
I think it’s partly that, but I also think it’s something to do with flying the coup. You start as a respectful rookie, learn your nba beats, play next to a superstar in Jokic and try to keep your head down and get better and get paid.
And then one day you change teams, move across the country, get big ideas that maybe you’re the best player on the team, feel disconnected from a franchise for the summer and start talking, lol. You know what I mean?
I actually doubt the collective media cares more about the nets than Denver, I think it’s just leaving a good structure and then going yolo
because of the altitude deal the nuggets can’t even get on TVs in their own city!!! My favorite was when I was living in KC a few years ago League Pass blacked out the Nuggets as “local,” Denver is 8hrs away! And then to top it off the first 2 years there I couldn’t even get Altitude if I wanted to! Now they have an online option only but that wasn’t the case. The NBA also flags OKC as local, which makes sense, but flagging 2 teams as local with one 8 hrs away is nuts.
Now where I live both Memphis and OKC are local.
Eh he said plenty of stupid shit when he was here that got attention. He’s just been more stupid since leaving
exactly, also he’s always been a bit hot and cold about how active he is with interviews and social media. he always struck me as more of an introvert who has moments where he wants to be more vocal, and unfortunately he tends put his foot in his mouth when he starts talking too much then will retreat back into his shell.
Did he have a podcast like this in Denver? I thought it was just because he is marketing his Podcast more.
As a nets fan, I knew exactly what we were getting because I was deep in nba twitter so I’d see all the ridiculous shit he’d say 🤣🤣 my favorite is you send your kid to public school and they’ll come home thinking they’re a cat
He famously said quite a lot of really dumb shit in Denver, he already had a reputation as one of the dumbest guys in the league.
literally saved themselves so much trade value even if Johnson is truly trash going forward
“For the most part I’m chilling, I’m not trying to say nothing crazy no more.”
[brief pause]
“Yo, bitches be trippin’, amirite?”
Next summer! It’s coming
“And by bitches, I mean dogs, of course. They’re always tripping over themselves in that illegal dogfighting ring I run at 11 pm every Thursday night!”
And by dogfighting I mean those intense 3 on 3 streetball tournaments me and my teammates have in my backyard. They are illegal, because the teams coaches and doctors have strictly forbidden us players because of injury concerns to play ball during the season outside of the facilities where they pump us full of steroids..
Shut the fuck up challenge: failed
Shooters shoot
Why is there so much content on this guy? Am I missing something?
MPJ is now in New York and the media there thrives on dirty laundry like no other.
Nah, it’s because he goes out and says absurd things on podcasts. Most other players primarily stick to sports or non-serious topics
yeah but hes been saying absurd stuff for years already
These posts have nothing to do with the NY media. This is just a clip from his podcast taken by a redditot
+he is adjacent to the big gambling/match fixing/poker games thing
Also yes but no one really cared all that much when he said ran his mouth in Denver despite being tangentially connected to dirt then too.
Soon as he’s in NY he’s everywhere.
Upvote farming from other sexist assholes.
Outrage farming from people who can’t resist drawing attention to all the dumb things he says.
Because he’s highly Regarded
American love morons with a microphone.
He says the most unfiltered dumb stuff on podcasts and it’s p hilarious. So people invite him on their podcast to get views, which in turn creates more content
i give him a day
Well you lost cuz he didnt he just have that Lonzo ball question shitting on the WNBA?
He was just trying to give all the NBA bound 8th graders out there something to aspire to.
Alright guys outside of Mind the Game, i think we can stop these player podcasts. Like at this point what are we even getting out of them outside of player gossip from dude on dogshit teams or arent even playing anymore. Like why do we need to know what players like MPJ, White Chocolate, Jeff Teague, etc. think outside of basketball nuance at this point?
Jeff Teague was actually pretty funny to listen to until he ran out of stories and decided to start being a take artist
Agreed. Teague is an excellent storyteller, but his takes on basketball aren’t particularly good, and his takes on anything outside of basketball are surprisingly bad.
It’s weird to hear a non-incel, not-obviously conservative guy who has lived in urban areas say that, in a heterosexual relationship, it’s an issue if a woman makes more money than a man.
Wait not that it’s correct, but that’s an extremely common take for that demographic and not surprising at all.
I guess I did hear stuff like that when I was a student athlete in the urban south, but I figured those dudes would have grown up a bit. Haha
But then you look at our political reality and maybe not.
Too much time spent online if you think it takes an incel to have that mindset.
Agree, I’m in a very liberal city and even here, women will flatly state they don’t won’t consider a guy who is less successful than them. Not everyone. But gender and financial dynamics do exist.
Lol He also states these hot takes with so much cocky conviction, it’s crazy.
Being a millionaire who is fawned over all the time really must mess these people up.
He started to lose me once he platformed Miles Bridges. I enjoyed watching him as a Hawk back in GA, and he’s a funny storyteller, but I guess with these type of podcasts and the crowds they draw, that was inevitable….
And honestly, his hot takes are less ridiculous than his brother Mook’s….
You dont have to watch, nothing wrong with nba players speaking their mind and monetizing it
who’s forcing you to?
yall complain about them yet engage with the content nonstop, driving their numbers up
He’s too dumb to know which of his stupid opinions are ones he definitely shouldn’t share with the world
This sub would be way better if we stopped letting low effort podcast clips flood the feed.
I don’t care if the person talking is a current or former NBA player playing the game doesn’t automatically make their takes valuable.
Couldn’t agree more. Too bad this sub is mostly 14 year olds who eat this shit up
“But IF I were to say something crazy…”
“Known Moron Instructed to Avoid Saying Moron Things”
We need to ban podcast equipment
Less tariffs on food, more tariffs on microphones.
The ammount of podcasts with betting sponsors and NBA players is crazy.
Like shit, his brother literally ruined his life gambling and he’s cool to sit there next to a betr hat and mug?
Jfc
Dude is having a career year on way to his team having one of the the worst record in NBA history.
Yep.
Can’t wait for the post five-ten-fifteen years from now citing MPJ’s superlative stats and wondering why he got no MVP consideration.
Stat humpers gotta hump stats.
You’re not giving people from 2040 enough credit.
Nobody’s on here today wondering why Monta Ellis didn’t get MVP consideration in 2010.
the fact the team even had to tell him means they are fed up with the bad press.
Watch the full episode ..
Lonzo Ball ask MPJ how it feels being able to speak more here (the nets) than over there (nuggets)
MPJ briefly explains that the Nuggets FO & Kroenke were cool, and since they had been following him around for so long, he just felt to upkeep the Image he had with them.
Brooklyn being a different Demographic and media landscape that during the summer the Nets FO didn’t care (he did Melo’s Episode not too long), then Nets come in season told MPJ to limit those types of interactions.
I’d rather snap my dick off than watch a full episode of this
same
So there’s a “Betr” sponsorship in the background… That’s basically an app where you bet on player props.. Which is exactly what his brother got kicked out of the league for lmao
He’s anti-vax like Kyrie. Don’t know if he also spouts antisemitism but I would have to believe that those are two main topics the Nets told him to stay away from
Nah, he’s carving out his own lane - the official NBA mouthpiece for the Tatepilled.
Lol definitely
Translation - You are an idiot - please stop talking and just shoot the ball
Why is his show getting clipped and shared here?!? Who gives af? Dude’s game is terrible to watch so you want to listen to him talk?
[deleted]
and r/nba was like, you go boy!
reddit try to go 1 day without shitting on womens sports challenge: impossible
Reddit is like the least toxic place when it comes to discussing women’s sports lol
Cap
It’s not shitting on women’s sports to acknowledge reality.
young men beating higher level women’s players has always been a thing
why are people obsessed with “acknowledging reality” only when it comes to knocking down womens sports, these kind of posts come up constantly in multiple subs, its not like theyre doing a public service
That was probably the least crazy thing he has ever said.
A boy who develops early and is already gonna be tall is going to be able to compete athletically with or be better than women pretty quickly.
That is not controversial at all unless you’re soft as baby shit
MPJ is making Denver’s PR team look GOATed
People keep saying that Denver kept him quiet
Well…he’s in New York with no expectations and more of a spotlight on him specifically instead of Jokic/Jamal/Gordon etc
He has more of a reason to talk now than he ever did on the Nuggets
from World B. Flat to MPJ, must be fun for Nets PR
Lmfao
He’s a dumbass.
They should probably have advised him to steer clear of podcast appearances all together.
Sponsored by betr… so his bro getting paid too
Another talented idiot.
Grown men really shouldn’t need to be told by their employers/managers to stop being stupid outside of work lol
I hate that stupid ass narrative of “everything is so sensitive nowadays” lol shut your dumb ass up and stop blaming society for you talking recklessly
“…which brings me to my next point. The holocaust.”
This dude is such a dork lmfao.
“I’m not trying to say nothing crazy no more”
Anyways let’s talk about how the WNBA sucks and I was better then them in 7th grade.
They told an idiot to quiet down
The multibillion dollar business does not want their extraordinarily stupid employee, from a historically stupid family, speaking into microphones. More at 9.
I wonder if a team is ever going to ban their players from starting/doing podcasts
(They should tbh)
That’s too bad I was looking forward to his full read-through of the Epstein documents
Perjurious Mike
When he was a Nugget my two biggest fears about MPJ was injury risk and saying something stupid on a podcast and not in that order
They didn’t tell me to steer clear from the conversation we had so ima tell ya all about it
Good advice for a guy with no self awareness
MPJ is smarter than most of his (podcasting) peers.
Everyone has this talk with management. Everyone.
MPJ actually listened?!
Smarter than most of his peers. By a country mile.
This mfer is the definition of a meat head
This guy is easily the dumbest guy in the league. Don’t forget the time he posted Adam Silvers cell phone number on Snapchat.
They know he’s a complete idiot
Bros gotta stop appearing on podcasts
I’ve been crying from laughing over a post I saw that says that this is the first season Aaron Gordon doesn’t get bombarbed by Turning Point USA updates in a time out huddle (he played with Jonathan Isaac in Orlando).
he was home schooled and his entire family is insane
Oh look, another nba player podcast that nobody asked for.
This is actually pretty good because most of his takes are absolute dog shit
Steer clear of topics …like the Nets steer clear of playing any defense. 30⁄30 https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/advanced?dir=A&sort=DEF_RATING
Shut up and tank
He’s a dumbass lmao
Imagine. There is a person who has to listen to his stuff professionally and then has go to their boss and tell him: “Uhm Boss, MPJ just explained how to, I quote “how to Bang bitches”. Is this a problem, Sir?”
Someone in the nets FO needs to take his microphone privileges away he has no ability to censor himself
Giving idiots the green light to spout BS has simultaneously been the most amusing and most disastrous occurrence in recent years.
Trying?
He can use a ukulele tho and sing how he feels
If he’s NOT trying to say NOTHING crazy NO more… Okay then he’s still no longer saying crazy things. Damn it I almost had him
Dude hasn’t learned lol he still on every podcast
Some of MPJ’s remark reminds me of a Dave Chappelle quote: it’s not a crazy to think, but it’s a crazy thing to say out loud.
He is speed running, ruining his career at this point. How did the nuggets last so many seasons with him?
A career that includes $200M+, a ring, and now playing for lolz in NY.
Seems pretty good to me.
