- 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.

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.
