Michael Porter Jr. is having a rough offseason.

They saw that when you point your finger at others, there are three fingers pointing back at you.

In 2024, the then-Denver Nuggets star decided to have former adult entertainer Lana Rhoades on his ‘Curious Mike’ podcast. During the conversation, Rhoades shed light on the misconceptions surrounding her life and the challenges women in the industry face. The most notable part of the interview came later when the former adult star spoke on how NBA players have intense fetishes because normal things do not turn them off anymore.

At that moment, Michael Porter Jr. looked uncomfortable, but would soon open and state that straight men in the league have done so much stuff with pretty women that they begin to do other things with transgender people or just outright messing with other men.

“This happens in the NBA,” Porter said.

“I hear wild stories about some of these dudes. And other celebrities. Their fetishes get so crazy… they might be a straight man but they’ve done so much stuff with pretty girls, and they have so much access to pretty girls, that now they’re over here messing with [trans women], or now they’re over here messing with dudes.”

 

“It’s crazy to think about. Obviously, I think the porn industry has a part to play with that.”

Porter seemed to be speaking from an alleged experience, because he is now going viral all over social media after he was spotted in another country with a known person.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. is facing online speculation after a Taiwanese tabloid linked him to a transgender model.

The report says transgender model Xiao A La was seen checking into a five-star hotel while being accompanied by an NBA player. Pictures acquired by the outlet show a tall male entering a lift with Xiao.

Although the face is blurred, many social media users speculated that it was Porter Jr.

Porter started every game for the Nuggets during the postseason and played the fourth-most minutes on the team.

However, the team decided to part ways with him this offseason.

Denver traded a key piece of its 2023 championship team, Michael Porter Jr., to the Brooklyn Nets along with an unprotected 2032 first-round pick.

In the deal, the Nuggets receive forward Cameron Johnson and a 2032 first-round pick.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
