|
|
- Michael Porter Jr., a rookie selected by the Nuggets in the 2018 NBA Draft, liked an Instagram posted saying that Luka Doncic is the most overrated player even seen.
- Dino Radoncic, a former teammate of Doncic in Real Madrid, wrote a tweet defending the Slovenian star: MVP of Euroleague can’t be overrated. A injured player who has not played 5 college games can be overrated. #Facts...that Doncic subsequently "liked".

Hilarious.
Perhaps because he's not American AND also not black, he has to be a "soft" Euro and therefore he is overrated. I think Porter Jr. should just focus on getting healthy and trying to make his time in the league last beyond his rookie contract. Dude played 3 college games.
If someone could be overrated, I think it may be Trae Young. He just seems like a crazy inefficient chucker. I admittedly haven't watched much of him, but what I have seen gives me an "Iverson" quality about his game - and not in a good way. |

I don't think being European or white has hurt his value/perception at all. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

I'm saying that from Porter's POV, I believe he's sees picking on a white European as an easier target as opposed to singling out a fellow black American.
Kind of like how KG would pick on the small European players, but you never saw him even try starting something with a black guy. Just look at how Peeler punked his ass. |

Doncic is one of the most accomplished draftees ever. Who is Michael Porter Jr? |

Neither of them has done anything yet. Doncic not playing in SL was a disappointment for me, I was looking forward to seeing him. |
