Winning a championship is a long road for any athlete but for Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr, it’s been filled with a lot more bumps and stalled with some serious injuries. But through determination and commitment, MPJ has defied odds and became an intricate part of a championship team playing along side one of the best players in the world, Nikola Jokic.
A high school basketball stand out ranked Number 1 in the nation with a direct path to the NBA as a potential number one pick was in question as back surgeries sidelined him and delivered a dark prognosis of not just delving draft stock but possibly never playing again.
MPJ went through three back surgeries since then and some days doesn’t seem at his full potential, but the 1st round pick is no stranger to doubt, and his faith and confidence have kept him motivated since day one.
When MPJ was told by a Clippers doctor pre-draft that his back injury was more severe than they first believed, the former National High School Player of the Year fell from the top of the board to No. 14 where the Nuggets scooped him up.
He went on to become the first player from his draft class’ lottery to win a championship and has cemented himself as a max contract player in the league. Through his Christian faith and devout belief in himself, MPJ describes how the adversity he faced has helped shape the player and man he is today.
And pushing aside the basketball talk, Channing couldn’t wait to get into the important stuff, starting with his light-skin connection to Michael which leads to a conversation about who represents “them” the best, as well as a talk about MPJ’s dating life. The list of guys MPJ and Chan has some surprise names and see where they rank Obama, Steph Curry, Patrick Mahomes and others.
All laughs aside, the basketball phenom is still a bonafide star in the basketball world, and dishes what it’s like to play with the best in the world right now with Jokic and who he really is as a person and how he matches up with Joel Embiid. MPJ also gives his secret to how teams win championships in this era of NBA and that his greatest skill right now is being available and consistency in playing time, as he hasn’t missed a game this season.
As an outspoken and big voice in sports and faith, MPJ dealt with backlash about sharing his opinions in 2020 and decided to use his own voice by creating a platform called Curious Mike, a podcast where he sits with various guests for one on one conversations about pressing cultural topics and issues.

Top 5 lightskin rankings is wild 🤣
Chan been solid on and off the field, I'm just now finding out he tore his acl 4x in high school, yet still had an NFL career..
Crazy Work
Well he wasn’t exactly a superstar that’s why you’re just now finding out
@jaron312 You my friend,,, have a firm grasp on the obvious, hence me saying "SOLID" on and off the field. I know about his career I'm 42 been watching da sport for awhile. Still didn't know that testimony of his early on. You see how I only presented that in positivity?
@@vittiriowashington5211quoting OJ I see 🤣🤣🤣
@@harlemironside3994 😆
@@vittiriowashington5211you a real one. killed him politely, respectfully. and apparently, with an OJ quote 😂
Michael "Let that choppa sing" Porter Jr. 😂
MPJ is that razor's edge mix of young hubris (maybe from homeschooling and being praised at a very young age) and humility (from the adversity of his surgeries) and I think Jokic, AG, Jamal, KCP and Coach Malone have been very good influences on him. He's definitely stepped it up in terms of effort, defense, rebounding and putting on muscle. You can tell he's evolving and learning. All the best to him.
Dude lives through god and has respect for everyone, he was in Asia doing the first pitch for a baseball game and a pitch invader ran on and MPJ dapped him up and told him nice to meet you lol
Finally - Good news for Denver Nuggets fans, MPJ had 8 percent better shooting tonight than against LAC and 12 percent better three point shooting than against GSW. The coach's elite scorer MPJ was ready to play, his 28 percent from 3 and 38 percent from 2 points contributed to the victory.
@@dragicaandrejevic2060 weirdo, an MPJ hater is a rare breed, oh well he’s a champion
This is why they will repeat
“Why do you need to look at somebody to talk to them?!?” as he stares at MPJ 😂😂😂
“Sometimes God speaks to you through other people” 🎯🙏🏼
Chan is effortlessly funny. When he pulled out the list I laughed so hard😂😂
The "light skinned" shit was high comedy 😂😂😂
Pause that whole lightskin conversation!😂😂
Bruh talking about the Michael "the possession ends here" Porter Jr memes is too funny, dude is a comedian.
Ryan; "You don't have to be corny to treat a woman right" ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!
When Ryan said Pat Mahomes isn’t that handsome, cracked up. I couldn’t agree more 😂😂😂
If Woodstock from the snoopy cartoon could talk that would be Mahomes
The level of ease and comfort people feel when they sit down with the Pivot is what makes it A1. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
MPJ FROM MY STATE MISSOURI WATCHED HIM IN HIGHSCHOOL WAS A BEAST!!! PROUD OF HIM...
“You was still shootin, cuz we light skin.” 😂😂😂
Mpj always on the edge of saying something out of pocket 😂
4 black brothers having great conversation. This is beautiful
I’m Puerto Rican
im bosnian
@@315giantslol that was random jarane 😂
Happens all the time in barbershops.
Chan with the light skin notes is crazy... Love the pod
This man glorified God as his exiting words on the show! 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏼💪🏽🙏🏼

Loved this interview! The contrast between athletes from different sports is evident, but their process of training and rehabilitation are similar. I just loved the interaction and mutual appreciation between these four professionals. Go MPJ & Go Nuggets!

OMG……I looked up MPJ’s draft night suit……😂Chan was right!
lol Ryan I wear a size 18 shoe it ain't hard to find shoes it's hard for stores to have them in stock.
Mississippi in the house!
RC got the cleanest greatest Hoodie Game Hands down period.
The vest MPJ wore on his draft night in 2018, looked like a back brace. I thought that's what it was. If it wasn't then it probably scared people even more than they already were.
great episode! lmao
RC is such an amazing host
So far I’ve gone back to 48:20 to laugh at least 4 times! 😂😂😂
Fred- I’m leaving had me dying
He was lit
That hoodie is Tough!!! Thank god for google images lol screenshot and it will find the store

Anybody know where to cop that hoodie?
“Y’all all live in Philly” he thought they was wallo and gillie 😂

Thank you young Brother Porter, may GOD's favor continue to find you!
MPJ. Stay up bro.
Not a basketball fan like that but this was a good interview
He’s so handsome ❤❤❤😂😂
All of these men are amazing. Literally disabled players. We never think of their real struggles. We think of the money .
Can anyone tell me that watch Channing is wearing?
I love THIZ guy
That suit was smooth lol
It was. They hating lol
Mpj look so loaded 😂😂😂
Love the interview. High school star athletes shouldn't be fooled by high school girls. They're aware of your trajectory.
Back Surgeries can be so dangerous may he continue to heal and be great. I second the Step Curry representing for the light skins Drake is to Sassy and Canadian....lol And every woman doesn't want a Russell at first but as you grow and mature a Russell Wilson is the type of man you need.
Hahahahahahahahahah Chan with the light skin talk was all in jest, but we know how social media will make it more than it is
